"Two employees showed up on time to discuss the recess lighting layout for our kitchen and living room and promptly began work. They cut drywall and installed (11) 6" recess lights with LED trims on the main floor with four dimmers. 16 old recess lights in the basement were replaced with modern units. Several old light fixtures were removed and one was replaced with a chandelier. Also, they removed a hood range and installed an electrical outlet in the cabinet above the range (this was added to the project after it was initially scheduled, so it was nice they fit it in). Although they don't do drywall work, I was notified of that during the quote process and the workers labeled the pieces of drywall in case they could be re-used. The entire project was finished in less than a day, as promised. We've been using the lights and dimmers for almost a month now and they are fantastic!"

"Dale, from Upstate arrived to service my AC unit as it was not working. I thought I may need a new AC unit, but he advised me that he should check everything out first to make sure. He did and was able to quickly diagnose the problem quickly and fix it with new components that were not working. Dale was very friendly, knowledgeable, capable and a pleasure to meet.

"ight from the start I felt very comfortable and in good hands with Comprehensive Mold Management. Linda, the Customer Relations Manager was so easy to speak with and her demeanor instantly calmed my fears. My questions were answered in a straightforward manner and her guidance and follow up throughout the process were top notch. Ken from CCM met my husband without me and my husband, who wanted to ignore the issues in our home, was a changed man. Ken's matter of factness allowed my husband to see what we needed to do to remediate our home. Ryan and Lamont were the workers/technicians who worked at our home for three days. CMM is so very fortunate to have these two employed with CCM. They were kind, considerate, professional, precise and just downright good people. I cannot sing their praises enough. I highly recommend Comprehensive Mold Management."

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.

You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.

Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.
