"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!"

"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."

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."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.
