"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."

"Jason called immediately after I posted my request. He came to give an estimate to replace some baseboard, and I told him of issues with two of my toilets. He looked at them and fixed the problems right then! They were prompt to the appointment, neat, and professional. When I had an issue with the oil burner (due to draining of the system) he came back and fixed the problem. Definitely recommend!"

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

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.

Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.

As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.
