"We called Joe after 2 different plumbers failed to unclog our drain with snaking and wall needed to be removed to expose the pipes. The estimates they were proposing were to high to even consider. We called Joe and explained our situation. He came the same day to assess the situation and gave us reasonable estimate. He came back next day and solved our problem without any extra charges over the estimate."

We have not found it easy to get good people to work on Air Conditioning in Red Hook.  After my call, Daniel came out personally to look at the job, which was in a hot, difficult crawl space above our kitchen.  He recommended putting in a larger condensate pan, sloping it properly, cleaning out the discharge line, and installing a float switch that would shut off the A/C if the pan was not draining properly.  He estimated it might take two men a half a day, and we agreed to the estimate.

The men came as scheduled, but were through quite quickly, and originally said it was only $375.00, not $800.00 as estimated, but then said they were wrong and collected the full $800.00.  We should have suspected that something was wrong then.

Other contractors working on a kitchen remodel at the time told us a couple of weeks later that the pan was still not sloped correctly, that the insulation around the air handler was soaked, and that there was a float switch that had not been installed. This was a serious concern, as this was on a Friday, and we were leaving for the summer the following Tuesday.  Daniel was very cooperative and responsive, and had another man out on Monday morning.  It appeared that the original crew had not fully understood the job and not completed all the work properly.  But the individual who came on Monday assured us that when he left everything was in good order.

We returned home in September to find that the paint was blistered on the ceiling, right under the air handler.  We called Rohde immediately, and he agreed to send another man out.  When that individual came he got up in the space and found it completely dry and everything working properly.  It appears that the work was indeed done correctly on the second visit, and the ceiling paint problem may have been from painting the ceiling while it was still damp from the original problem.

Obviously we would have liked it if everything had been taken care of right the first time.  But to Daniel's credit, he was always responsive and got it taken care of without complaint or extra charges.  We are almost an hour travel time from their office, and appreciate the service.  We would not hesitate to call and use them again in the future.

"I have owned my house for a year and have had several technicians in to inspect my hot water heater, furnace and air conditioner. None of these professionals noticed or mentioned several serious problems with our plumbing and heating equipment. A couple of these problems could have resulted in a catastrophic flood of the entire basement within hours. Jarred Fay of F & F came in and explained all of the issues very clearly and installed a new water heater (a very expensive gas power vented type) and fixed all of the shoddy work that had previously been done at the house. His prices were several hundred dollars lower than the large company that I have a service contract with quoted me. Jarred's work was beautifully done - you can immediately see the improved quality of products and installation. Jarred also fixed several smaller plumbing issues that had been bothering us since we bought the house and installed some safety valves and sensors that can avert flooding disasters and alert you if you have a leak. All work was done quickly at a very fair price. I will recommend F & F Plumbing to anyone who needs quality plumbing work!"

"Kulk s Plumbing offers an outstanding level of professionalism and service and as a design professional in the construction industry I do not praise easily. Every technician is knowledgeable, courteous and skilled. The scope of work they did for me was a fair amount of plumbing during a house remodel- bathroom upgrade, new half bath, new kitchen, new gas boiler and heating with radiator upgrades, etc. The work was always on time and any hitches were dealt with effectively and efficiently. All the connections are clean and functional. Our new bathrooms and kitchen are beautiful. I must compliment John on running a fine job."

Customers say: Quick response

"Marc recently installed a driveway drain at my residence because of driveway settling and water pooling in the vicinity of the garage door entrance. I was hesitant as our driveway is fairly new and I worried the aesthetics might suffer and the pavement could become compromised. Marc patiently explained the process and quickly followed with a reasonable estimate. I did however, wait to submit my review until after the first heavy rainfall and I am pleased to report the drain worked perfectly even under recent, severe/storm conditions! The job was completed in one day as promised and I was especially pleased with the clean-up and attention to detail. Marc and his sons worked tirelessly, professionally and I would highly recommend them for any similar projects."

"Keegan and company did a beautiful job with the wall: we love it and our neighbors compliment his work on a daily basis. Estimate was casual, but he charged the amount he quoted even though the work took longer than anticipated."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals use snakes, hydrojetting, or chemical cleaners to clear blockages effectively without damaging pipes.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages.
