"I called P & A Sewer and Drain to replace the toilet flange and to unclog the kitchen sink. The plumber did an excellent job, paying close attention to detail and he left the work areas spotless. If you're looking for an honest plumber with very reasonable rates, I highly recommend calling P & A Sewer and Drain."

"From the initial phone call to the completion of the job Quality 1st provided top notch professional service. A couple points which makes this easy to write. Communication is key whether in person or via telephone and Q1 was exceptional in this regard at every point. Telephone conversations with customer services was pleasant and cordial, never rushed or snotty. Paul our salesman was here for quite a while answering questions and assessing our needs in the basement. Of only was he on time for our appointment he was about 10 minutes early too. The cost of this project was a good chunk of change for us but after too many times of shop-vac’ing water we knew it was time to bite the bullet and move forward with making life a little easier and not have the issue of when will we get water in the basement again hanging over our heads. I was impressed that Quality 1st uses their own products and has their own R&D facilities. As for the installation, enough cannot be said for the crew that was here. I got the call at 9am they would be here in 20 minutes and at 9:20 they were backing in my driveway. I met the foreman Mario and his 2 helpers. We went into the basement and they looked around and asked if I had any questions. We had almost everything out of the basement and what was left they covered in plastic. By 9:50am they were running the jackhammers. We have a 1,500 sqft ranch and these guys worked all day, they didn’t stop and worked their tails off. I can’t remember exactly when the jackhammer stopped but by 2 pm the channel was dug out and they were beginning to lay out for the channel that carries the water to the sump. About 4pm Kyle showed up to assess the job and see if I had any questions or concerns. We spoke about the job and we went downstairs to see the progress. He stayed on site for about 45 minutes after making sure I was comfortable with how the job was going. By 5:15 or so the job was completely finished. Before they left Mario went over everything regarding the sump system. As far as cleanup, this is a dusty job. Concrete dust is ultra fine and they did a fantastic job of not only sweeping but they also dusted off areas which were not covered in plastic. They left no mess to speak of., I was very satisfied with their work and attention to detail. It’s easy to nitpick any job at anytime and there is nothing I would call them out on. Finally as for the functionality of the sump system I wish I had a comment on that at this time. We’ve lived in our house for 25 years and until around Thanksgiving of this year (2018) we’ve only had water about 4 times. Between Thanksgiving (2018) and New Years (2019) we got slammed 4 times and nothing since. With the symptoms of how our basement got water, I feel comfortable with the system Quality 1st installed and am confident they will stand behind their work and warranty. We’re also happy this is transferable to the next homeowner when we sell the house and it is an excellent selling point when the time comes."

"Done-Rite came in and saved the day. We had our bathroom renovated about 8 months ago including changing the bathtub to a full walk in shower with a mosaic tile floor. We wound up firing the first contractor because of numerous problems. We thought everything was good after the second contractor finished only to have numerous leaks in the bathroom 8 months later. After searching Anglie's List for a contractor and interviewing a few, we decided on Done-Rite. Done-Rate responded very timely. Dan knew right away what to do. He had to breakup a lot of what the other contractors did including part of the tile floor, the mosaic tile in the floor of the shower along with the subfloor, and part of the tile on the wall of the shower. He had to remove and put aside the toilet bowl and the shower doors. Dan installed a new shower base and had to relocate the drain from center to right to accommodate the set up of the new shower base. He also replaced all the tiles on the floor and walls and relocated the shower and handle to line up with the drain in the shower base. Dan also had to remove and reinstall a lot of sheetrock/wonderboard in the shower area due to mold and treated the area accordingly and paint where necessary. He reinstalled the toilet bowl and reinstalled the shower doors which was very detailed and intricate. Dan and John started promptly everyday including working on a Saturday to complete the job. The job was completed timely. Dan and John have great communication skills and respect for our home. To me, Dan and John did the work in our home as if they were working in their own home and made sure they cleaned up every night especially at the conclusion of the job. I would highly recommend Done-Rite. Their prices are fair and they go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I will definitely call them again, as a matter of fact, I just did for a problem in our kitchen."

"The first appointment for this repair had to be rescheduled but, I was kept informed and, I understand that emergency repairs must take precedence, if it was my main drain stack that required repair I would want it done immediately too! I thought this drain repair might be easy so I thought about doing it myself. I am so happy I didn't, Frank from Sessa Plumbing did some real handcrafted quality work as only a pro can."

"Kazi and his crew at Rahat are the best renovation professionals we’ve had (and we’ve had a few) in the 18 years we’ve lived in our modest two story houses in Brooklyn . Back in 2006 we started a major renovation of our house, including an extension to the backyard for a new kitchen which required considerable excavation and fill as we’re more than a couple of feet below ground level in the back there. Also, new underground drainage was put in under our brick patio. The contractor at the time built five six foot wide steps from the kitchen’s sliding glass doors to the patio. Also a cement walkway was replaced along the back to front side of the house. Overtime, some problems started to come to light. To expand and correct some of the work from 12 years ago, we decided this summer to go on Angie’s list for the first time and selected some contractors for quotes. We saw the photos of Kazi’s outdoor work in our area , and were quite impressed. We picked Rahat, which had a very reasonable quote (and not the highest). When Kazi’s first came to our house, he noticed the drainage problems immediately before we pointed them out. (During hard downpours the drain at the base of the stairs was not adequate to keep the rain water level from flooding our kitchen; also two other drains on the patio itself were not placed in a manner to catch the runoff). He also inspected the cracks that had opened up in the cinderblock support wall of the staircase and suspected that either the foundation for the supporting walls was substandard or even missing (turns out there was no foundation). He measured, making helpful suggestions and came back the next day with a very detailed and clearly written scope of work and quote. We signed. As many of the readers will attest, some contractors will start a job and show up for a couple of days and then you start seeing them less often because they’re busing picking up and starting other work . Kazi does not do that: And he has his own permanent crew of professional workers he can rely on. They started right away and they worked every weekday (even on the hottest of days of July/August) until the work was complete. And even with a company to run, it was rare that I didn’t see Kazi on site, supervising. I would continually be amazed at coming home at night and seeing, that projects I didn’t expect to see done until later in the week, had been completed the same day. As any contractor does, Kazi will offer you options on materials and added work when needed – He’s not high-pressure about them in the least. You’ll find his recommendation are almost always sound and worth doing at the time rather than waiting. As for materials, the red brick and grey granite slabs on the stairwell are beautiful and constructed with total precision. (I would recommend the granite in particular, you won’t slip on it in the rain and it really looks lovely when wet). We were so impressed than we have hired Kazi to work on a much larger project, the front! There are quite a few challenges there. We’re not sure isn’t basically unchanged from the 1890’s when it was built. So far his work has lived up to the expectations of excellence from work in our back. We’ll have a review when that’s complete."

"The main problem we had originally was that the drain in the yard was clogged. He ran his drain snake machine and unclogged in issue. We had another issue in our basement and they had also explained what we should do in the future to prevent clogging there as well. Overall I was happy with the quick service and that they had explained the technical bits of the problem to us."

"ENO Plumbing came in and worked until they finished the job , all within a day! Our storm drain was backing up and water would just sit there and next door neighbor always complaining! They were professional. They explained everything that needed to be done including digging further down and replacing drain. They had to cut out the cement to the downspout and then recement! It has since rained and no problems!"

"The team at 24 Seven were great! Candace and Diana were prompt in their response and arranged the appointment swiftly. 5 stars to Robert the plumber who put in the extra hard work and determination to remedy my plumbing issue. It should have been fairly routine drain cleanout but proved to be a bit of a pain and Robert’s expertise, patience and determination shined. He was polite and respectful. Prompt and efficient. I would certainly call them again. Now I can use my bathroom sink again without worry!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The type of stormwater drainage system you need depends on your area’s storm severity and frequency. Your property’s location should also be considered, including the surrounding soil type, nearest roads, existing drainage systems, and slopes and hills. Your property’s structure, such as decks, walkways, crawl spaces, and foundation, also affects what drainage system will work the best.

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.

Yes, many people choose to bury their sump pump discharge pipes. When you leave the pipe visible in your yard, you might trip over it or accidentally damage it with your lawn mower. Plus, from an aesthetic perspective, hiding the discharge line underground looks nicer than leaving it out in the open. Before burying a sump pump pipe, review your local building codes to make sure your installation is compliant.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.
