"Christian Weeks was knowledgeable and thorough. He was willing to explain processes and procedures if asked. He was not a “ I know everything” kind of person and was diligent in finding answers to questions about a moen faucet through reading the moen instructions. He was on time and performed his work correctly. After he installed the drains for 6 sinks, they all felt sturdy and secure"

"My project was 9 anchors to be installed in a 1955 house at the bottom of a steep hill. We have brought in 40 truckloads of dirt-well tamped and terraced the yard with limestone walls and 4 french drains. Should have done the anchors first but did not so much of the delicate landscaping had to be preserved on top of it all to complicate matters. I was nervous but the project went so beautifully and they compromised with me to maintain the character of the house. Everyone worked hard all day. Bill Bothwell was a gem and totally understood all of my concerns. He needs a raise in pay. Chris Warren who initially evaluated the project day one was great, too. He answered all of my questions even days later as I had time to think out how this was all going to effect future projects that will be happening like an addition. My yard is nice and neat and tidy-you would not know major construction happened. I am a very picky person and my landscape is happy, too. The team is great! I cannot applaud them enough! The price was super fair!"

"We had Water Solutions come out to our home in Papillion after noticing water coming into our basement, and I'm so glad we did. We had no idea what was causing it, but Casey explained everything in a way that actually made sense without getting too technical or overwhelming. We ended up getting 2 other bids before making a decision, and Water Solutions not only felt the most knowledgeable, but they also came in at a better price for the same type of work and a lifetime warranty which the others didn't offer. That made the decision a lot easier. Their crew was professional, showed up on time and kept everything clean throughout the process. They installed their DryGuard interior drainage system, and since then we've had several heavy rains with no water issues at all. The peace of mind has been huge. I'd definitely recommend Water Solutions to anyone in Papillion dealing with basement water problems."

"Before this work, this was an unsightly gravel area that drained toward the house foundation. This new paver path design and construction significantly improved the house's appearance, the area's usefulness, and drainage. I am very impressed by the technical insight and professionalism of the representative who visited our home and presented a design with a thorough estimate. The team that built the path was hard-working, and the team leader was attentive to getting the work technically correct. He was also responsive to questions and concerns. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Limitless Landscaping."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To manually drain a washing machine, you’ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

If your kitchen is flooding, first turn off the water supply and electricity before entering the room. Next, focus on immediate flood control by cleaning up any standing water with a sump pump or wet-dry vacuum to prevent long-term water damage to your home. Open your windows and run any dehumidifiers you have handy. Finally, call a professional plumber to help find the source of the flood and repair it.
