"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Jack is a straight shooter and goes over the problems he sees and only positive solutions. Jack is personable and tried to save you money versus over sell unnecessary improvements. We need our foundation patched for leaks and his crew went over and beyond the work we thought we needed. Waterproofed our outside issues and then waterproofed the inside with paint. They cleaned up our crawl spaces as well as under the basement stairs. Jack even threw in a fire extinguisher and 2 water detectors. Great man, proud of what he does and loves to please his customers. HIghly recommend. Oh, his crew keep everything clean and when they left you would never have known they dug into our driveway and backyard to install leader drains from our gutters."

"Pros: VERY fast response time. I had a small leak in the kitchen. It was not an emergency, but they had someone at my house in 2 hours even though it was a Saturday. The technician gave me an estimate, had all the parts, and fixed it in less than 2 hours. Work was fine. Cons: Very expensive. Replacing the drain, basket and trap cost $870. It was worth it to me for the speed, but I was quoted $480 from another company if I could wait a week."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Yes—your local septic company can clean your septic leach lines with a sewer jetter, a device that pumps high-pressure water through the lines to blast out any clogs and scum buildup. Unless there’s a clog or blockage in the lines, however, you do not need to perform this maintenance regularly. Do not attempt to clean your own leach lines, as you could easily damage them, leading to very costly repairs.

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

There are a few reasons your snake won’t go down the floor drain. One common reason is a large obstruction in the drain that is causing a blockage. You can remove any debris you see in the drain before trying to snake it. In addition, the snake might not be long enough to reach the clog, or it might be the wrong diameter.
