"Water was backing up into the bathtub. Tried to snake it myself but couldn't get it cleared. In the meantime discovered that the toilet was leaking underneath. What a delight.
Found this guy on Angie's list with excellent ratings. Called and left a message. His voicemail said he was unavailable today, but he called me anyway after a couple of hours and got to my house just before 5 PM. Snaked the drain and cleared the blockage. I asked him about reinstalling the toilet I'd taken off so it wouldn't leak, but since I hadn't asked him about it earlier he didn't have the wax ring. He came in and reinstalled the bolts in the floor and explained to me how to finish the job after I get a wax ring.
Overall I am delighted with this service. Very reasonable charge... I live out in Waterflow and he didn't charge extra to come all the way out here. I don't know if it's standard to give tips to plumbers, but I tipped him.
If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable guy who will get it done for you, this is your man.

"They are very good and I haven't had any problems. They charged $65 to turn off the cooler. They charged a little more in the spring because they put in new pads. After a month it didn't seem to be working so they came out and it was clogged with sand. They didn't charge me to come back. They charge by the hour for the drain cleaning. It is around $85 an hour. They are real good and I would use them again. They call me."

"The service went very well.  I called and asked if a plumber could come and change our expansion tank off of our hot water heater and was told that the plumber would be there between 1 and 3.  About 15 minutes before 1, the plumber called and asked if he could come by. 
The service at the house went well and he used buckets and towels to make sure he didn't spill water everywhere.  The water that did drip on our garage floor was cleaned up before he left. 
They accept credit cards and are very professional, I'd use them again!

French Drains questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

To keep window wells from filling up with water, you need to stay on top of maintenance. Remove debris as it fills up, and regularly loosen the gravel at the base if it’s become compacted. You can also reslope your yard to make sure water flows away from the window well (and your home’s foundation), and you can even install a window well cover to prevent debris from building up. Installing an actual drainpipe at the base of the well can also prevent window well drainage problems.

Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.
