"Dear Sergio, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work you and your team did in fixing the drainage problem in my backyard. From the very beginning, your professionalism and expertise were evident. I was particularly impressed with how clearly you explained the situation and presented several options for the French Drain installation, allowing me to make an informed decision. It reassured me that you genuinely cared about addressing the problem in the best way possible. Your team’s commitment to the project was remarkable. Coming in three days early to avoid the rain demonstrated a level of dedication and foresight that is rare to find. They arrived early each day and worked efficiently to complete the job. Moreover, they left the worksite immaculate each day, which did not go unnoticed—I greatly appreciated the care they took in keeping my property clean and orderly throughout the process."

"Pedro came and fixed my outdoor hose bib that was leaking. He came the next day, fixed it quickly, and thought me how to do it myself. All at an amazing low price. He even did another small job for free. There isn’t a better plumber in Raleigh, I’d recommend him for any plumbing work."

"Galina Woods and Steve worked on Saturday to correct the installation of a dehumidifier and drain pipe system in my crawl space. The system is now working. The exterior drain pipe is finally dripping water. Thanks Galina, you really knew how to correct the problem."

"Mauricio and his team cleaned our patio and rebuilt our back steps. They took the time to ensure it was done right and it looks amazing. They had originally done our patio pavers during the pandemic and reached out to work with them again. I highly recommend them for your project."

Customers say: Quality work

"My plumber was determined to get to the bottom of a very stubborn clog. My 70-year-old original, cast-iron pipes were a big part of the problem. Ultimately after a lot of hard work, drain was cleared and the long-term solution (time for new non-corroding pipes) was explained clearly."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

The P-trap (or S-trap in older homes) under your shower is designed to prevent sewer gas from coming back up, so you shouldn’t normally experience foul odors coming from your shower drain. If you do, the vent stack that introduces air into your plumbing system may be clogged, or you may have a more severe sewer main blockage. In either case, hire a plumber to fix the issue for you.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.
