"Tim was awesome. I have a couple different drains that were draining slowly and contacted Tim. He was able to come out the same day and take care if the issue completely. He even took the time to explain the process to me and what issues he found with the drains. I will definitely keep Tim in mind for all plumbing projects and will also recommend him to my friends!"

"Sergio and his team schedule the work for Tuesday of the next week, then called and asked if they could come the Friday before. They worked quickly to dig out my foundation, waterproof, and put a french drain in. I liked his work so much, I had him grade the entire property and put perimeter drains and boxes in. I am considering having him put down sod next!"

"Pedro was right on time as scheduled and stayed in contact with us. He was very friendly and efficient. He installed our replacement kitchen faucet very quickly and then hauled away all of the debris. He went so far as to filling up the new soap dispenser that came with the new faucet. His price was very reasonable. I would recommend Pedro and I will hire him again for any of my future home plumbing needs."

"PlumbServe performed as they promised and as you would like all businesses to. They answered the call on a Saturday afternoon and scheduled the repair for Monday morning. The guys called 30 minutes ahead of their arrival and then showed up on time. They completed the repair without any drama, they showed what they did and that everything worked again, and cleaned up before they left. Based on my experience I would confidently refer PlumbServe to family, friends and my real estate clients."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.
