"Marc. Lombardi and his crew did an excellent , excellent job installing footing foundation , water proofing (french drain) around my house and leveled my backyard lawn (incl seeds & fertilizer) for 1 1/2 days. He was very professional ( helpful with questions) & well mannered. His service was beyond my expectation - I am completely satisfied and will hire him again if needed. If someone is looking for this kind of project, he is the best and highly recommended. Thank you Marc for such good quality of work."

"I recently hired Alonso to install a French drain in my backyard, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the work. He and his team were fantastic, completing the job in just two days. They made sure everything was working efficiently before they left, and followed up several days later. I've now hired them for regular yard maintenance. Highly recommend!"

"Dean, the owner of Dirty Deeds, is a true professional. From a by-gone era, he is a man who cares about his customers problems
and takes pride in solving them to everyone's satisfaction.
 
  Dirty Deeds was at the low end of the estimates we received for installing a French drain in our basement. Dean was
"hands-on" during the entire process, working along with his crew to both install the system and clean-up afterwards.
He personally returned at least twice to check that everything was working properly.
 
 Without hesitation I can recommend that anyone looking to "fix" their water leakage and wet basement problems, call Dirty Deeds as the first step towards a successful resolutioin of their problems.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

Drain fly problems can go away on their own—but only if the insects find the environment inhospitable. Those with a minor infestation can simply flush their toilets and run their faucets more frequently to flush out the flies and larvae. Others will have to deep clean their drains and set up traps.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.
