"Please don't use this company!! They came to my house to blow out my sprinkler system and that went ok but Jim said that my system had weak valves or solenoid's and then apparently to prove his point he snapped one off in the valve box. He then took me over to an outside electrical junction box and said that chipmunks had gotten in and were chewing the wires, when I started to bend down to see what he was talking about he pushed himself in and said, "here let me help you", and got out his folding knife and began to jam it into the box all the way to the bottom as though he was digging in the soil in the bottom of the can. The he started telling me that I had a lot of problems with my system but that he could fix everything in the spring for around $500.00. This was all a shock to me and left me befuddled since my system was working fine over the summer. I paid him and he left but then I remembered that last year when I had him out he said something about my valves not being the good kind and began to crank on them and I had to tell him please don't break them even if they aren't the strongest. Then I went back to the wiring box and looked more closely and found that all the wires had been cleanly cut all at the same point and the cut was fresh with shiny wire exposed! Definitely not chipmunks!! I called Jim and confronted him about breaking my valve and cutting the wires and asked him why he had jammed his knife into the box the way he did and he said, "Oh the wires were impacted with soil". When pressed further he went back to the chipmunk story. He was clearly damaging my system in order to create future cash flow for himself. These guys are total scammers!!! I told him I want a refund, but he didn't agree to this and I haven't seen one yet. Avoid this company at all cost!! I'm telling all my neighbors to dump this guy. I only hope that this post can save others what I had to experience. Huge breech of trust!! I only gave this company one star because it wouldn't let me post my comments with zero stars. They deserve negative five stars."

"As I requested they provided the cost for drain snaking upfront. A simple procedure that most others would not quote. (They wanted to do a separate "diagnostic" visit and additional fee. The work was fine. The technician very competent and concientious about keeping things clean. The only rub, they wanted $179 to put the toilet back in (way out of line). I think they could have told me. Nevertheless, I drove to home depot for a wax ring and had it done in 10 minutes. Overall, a 4 oout of 5. If they charged a more reasonable rate for reseating the toilet i would have had them do it, and would have rated a 5."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. 

Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.

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.

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.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.
