It started when he left me here with two \"day laborers\" who upon arrival I asked them to make sure the door to the outside was closed since I had two house cats which they left wide open, followed by them placing a large tub of grouting fluid spilling on my antique carpet and then leaving a razor from a box cuter in between my glass shower doors.. Franklin, the owner did remove a vanity and replace with another that I had purchased but he failed to correctly connect the drain pipe properly in same vanity and after weeks of calls for him to return, which he never did, I had to hire an outside plumber to complete the job. He in addition told me that my pipes for laundry had to be \"vented\" so there would be no back flow into the shower of the bath enjoining the laundry. He failed to snake the drain before this \"venting\" process and never silicone caulked the new PVC pipe. Again I had to hire a subsequent plumber to finish the job. This was after countless emails and phone calls which he never returned. If you are in the market for a contractor that epitomizes what the public feels about sleazy, unreputable, unresponsive and unprofessional manners than this is the man and company for you. He should be run out of business and any and all licenses he possesses revoked."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/inwood/mc-and-sons-construction-reviews-7849910.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Equinox Pools & Lawn Care Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin N."},"reviewBody":"The service provider was consistently late of scheduled appointments by up to 5 hours without calling in advance.

To get the drain snake downstairs was difficult, he scratched our side door, and loosened a board on our stairway. It made a very loud clunking noise all the way down the stairway because it was SO heavy. He snaked the drains and left a huge black mess on my walls, appliances and anything else that happened to be in the parameter of the snaking process. I have since had other companies out and have NEVER had such a mess left for me.

French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Chinatown, NY
We just wanted to clear toilet drain, but SMB Plumbing & Heating wanted to replace whole toilet fro $1,200.00. This jobs should have been under $200.00. Rip-off company. Watch Out.

Quick and reliable service to all 5 boroughs and Nassau County. We cover outdoor sewer replacement, outdoor water mains, drain cleaning, camera inspection, water jetting, NYC backflow installation and inspection. Don't hesitate to contact our team of professional plumbers today.
"Was happy with them until they lied and told me the job would take six hours even though the actual plumber told me it would take a half hour. I assume this was to justify charging me $1300+, however, low and behold the job only took 45 minutes. No one stayed to monitor for leaks for 6 hours as I was told needed to be done. Feel ripped off and no one can explain why they charge me essentially $1800 per hour for the work performed."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Chinatown, NY
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
