"My Father's toilet wasn't working properly. I contacted Rooter Man yesterday and David R was able to come this morning. He was friendly and professional. He installed a new toilet after clearly explaining all of our options and costs. This is the second time we used Rooter Man's services (Bill was the first technician who helped unclog a kitchen drain). I highly recommend them."

"Mike and Brian came to the house exactly when they said they would. The main sewer drain was clogged. The assessment of the issue and more importantly the advise was so helpful and honest. We would highly recommend and plan to utilize their service in the future!"

"Robert arrived promptly when he said he would, and replaced a faulty shut-off valve. He then noticed a slow leak at a connection my utility company installed, and repaired that as well. All for the price he originally quoted me. I would recommend Robert's Plumbing Service without reservation. From now on, he's the go-to guy for all my plumbing needs."

"

We've lived in this (55 year old) house for the past 12 years, and we've always had to deal with a periodic water problem in the basement. and wet weather exacerbates the problem. A few months ago things became much worse when our poured cement foundation developed three leaks, allowing water to flow freely into the basement. I called in four or five contractors to recommend a solution, and I was most impressed by Adirondack's analysis, which actually called for less work than most of the others (and of course, less money). The other contractors all insisted that a floortile system be installed to direct water into a new sump system, but Adirondack felt that our existing French drain would serve that purpose. They installed their "Super Sump" system, piped outdoors into a bubble pot. Repairing the wall cracks wasn't possible due to the deteriorated condition of the cement, so they recommended BrightWall panels, which served two purposes: they cover the ugly walls (and brighten the basement) and force any leaking water directly below into the French drain.  I've deliberately waited until now (six weeks later) to write this review because I wanted to get an idea of how their system would work. I'm happy to say that the system has worked beautifully.

I'm very happy with Adirondack. They were very professional to deal with, their estimator was experienced and didn't try to sell me the moon, and their work crew and job site supervisor were great.

"I ended up choosing to do it myself. It was to put a French drain in my back yard. It cost me only $700 but if I had them come in it would have cost me like $2500. It was the price that really threw me off. As for their overall outlook they seemed to be a very decent company. It was very good, I had no problems with them. Their price was way above what I expected to pay.  I wasn’t happy with the estimate."

"This outfit is the best! Called through Home Advisor and was transferred to Joe's to tell them what the problem was. They were here within a couple of hours and "Ace" arrived and shook my hand and got to work. Amazing! Didn't try a hard sell and let me know what had to be done and got it done. I tried to change the filter after he left and screwed it up so I called again, and Joe himself came out. The decision was to replace the filter and the estimate was so reasonable installed it was simply a no brainer. I hired them again!! Class Act All the Way!"

French Drains questions, answered by experts

No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways—oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. 

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

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.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.

When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It’s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it’s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.
