After reading many of the reviews I concluded (from the other reviews) the cost for a drain snaking would run (+/-) about $99.00. I purchased the $200 coupon for $99 thinking it would cover any more costs (if any). I scheduled the appointment, a 4 hour window, the tech called about 5 minutes before arriving. Once he arrived I explained the issue and showed him the drain I wanted snaked. First he had me sign a form which essentially says you owe $99 even before he starts...I thought it odd but assumed the $99 would go towards the cost of the job. He was very pleasant and went about checking the issue and proceeded to snake the drain. He also tightened 3 compression fittings on the sink that were lose. The total visit was just under one hour.He finalized the bill the total was $251.84 (the $99 service charge and $149 for drain snaking). So once I used the $200 coupon the "remaining balance" was $48 plus tax= $51.84.The total was I had been prepared for +/-$99.00. I didn't try to discuss the total with the technican I waited and called Farrell Bros directly. I just explained the issue to the Kim who had answered the phone. She was very helpful and said she would call me back after reviewing this issue with Randy. She did as promised and called back to say they would waive the $99 "service" fee so my Angie coupon would more then cover the entire job. I consider that fair and reasonable. Bottom line: I would call them again based on the service I received. BUT I would strongly advise everyone to ask, before scheduling any service, about any "fees" or "charges" you may incur not directly part of the job. Further it may be helpful to ask any contractors how much a simple job (ie drain cleaning) costs/averages assuming no unexpected issues. That way everyone would be on the same page from the beginning and would avoid issues such as mine. So bottom line $99 for snaking a drain in about an hour I think is fair, $250 is not."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/albany/benjamin-franklin-plumbing-reviews-296309.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Plumb Reasonable","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gerald B."},"reviewBody":"I called in the morning and two guys showed up in the afternoon, after a phone call to let me know they were on the way. They took a machine up on the roof and went down through the vent pipe with a snake to unclog the drain. They were here for about 20 minutes. So far, so good.
But they charged $140, which seems outrageous for 20 minutes of work. When I had the same company unclog the same drain 3.5 years ago, they charged $90. I would say that a >50% price increase in 3.5 years is quite UNreasonable.
Also, the principal serviceman was uncommunicative almost to the point of being surly, and he slammed my washer in and out of the spin cycle repeatedly without giving the parts time to slow down, which, if the noise it made was any indication, must have been bad for the machinery."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/grand-prairie/plumb-reasonable-reviews-6346708.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Thomas J Farone & Sons","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Robert V."},"reviewBody":"My wife and I contracted with Thomas J Farone & Sons to build a new home. During the process, our basement was flooded with water and mud as a hole was cut in the foundation for the sewer lines but the work was not completed immediately. Therefore, the rain caused mud and water to flood the basement. Our stairs and drywall were replaced, but the floor was left with dirt and dust and the saw cut perimeter drain was filled with mud and debris.
Our roof leaked and caused damage to the dining room, garage, basement and bonus room. The builder attributed the leak to an ice dam and therefore absolved himself from any responsibility. The roof continued to leak throughout the winter as well as during some rain storms. Fearful of a lawsuit, the builder sent over the roofer to "take a look".
The roofer candidly stated that the roof design was for a home intended to be located in the south. As a result, we have asked the builder to meet us half way to redesign the roof as we have lived in the house approximately seven months. To this point, the builder has refused to work with us to resolve the problem.
Last month we had an issue with the sump pit/gravity drain system. Water was entering the sump pit from the gravity drain, the opposite of what should happen. There was also a ring of water on the foundation approximately six inches above the sump pit. Our contract stipulates that we should have two separate daylights for our exterior and interior perimeter drains. The builder only installed one daylight, connecting both the interior and exterior drains to one system.
Some additional lowlights:
The stonework on the front of our home has two different cement colors (not intended)
Kitchen drain for the faucet was not sealed properly and leaked into the cabinet below causing wood to warp
Wrong tile was applied around the bathtub and fireplace
Sliding glass door was not installed properly
Doorbell was not wired correctly, when we moved in we noticed a buzzing sound, fuse had to be pulled as the fixture was overheating
There is NO customer service and there is NO concern for quality. Everything that goes wrong is the homeowners fault as the builder accepts no responsibility. Contractors utilized by the builder cut corners.
Thomas J Farone Jr has no integrity, takes no pride in his projects, and is one of the most disingenuous people you will ever meet. Avoid this builder and any home associated with this builder.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Gansevoort, 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.
