Jeff gave me the name of the work crew member Dave Varga who would call Monday or later the following week. Monday March 23 I had a call from Dave who scheduled to arrive between 2-4pm on Wednesday March 25. He arrived about 3:20pm and went right to work. With the help of just one crew member, he discovered the exit of exterior front drains that were buried after years of erosion. All nine drains were cleared plus the sump pump pipe. To discover the buried drain outlets he needed to dig wholes in the front yard. He requested permission first. Once the outlets were discovered and pipe cleared, water flowed freely. Dave also repaired a connection between one gutter and a newly cleared drain pipe and suggested 2 solutions for the front area drainage, one more permanent than the other with less maintenance but more costly which is to run 96 feet of pipe connection all front house drains to the drainage ditch. I approved the latter for it's long lasted ramification. The back pipe was cleared. He did say it would have been better if the back pipe was 4" in diameter. But it was not broken, and before replacing try building up an exit cage that could keep the end pipe from being crushed with normal lawn care and see if that is enough. He even explained how I could watch for problems by checking the connections in a rain storm to see if water is bubbling back up. He also suggested some improvement to the grading of a garden that might further reduce water issues in the basement. So I agreed with his recommendations and will have the additional work estimate shortly. Dave also asked if they could leave the drain ends exposed for when the return work would address, and I agreed if they would be flagged which he completed. Thursday it poured down rain. I was never so glad to see the rain coming hard and the water just exiting all the freed up drains.

THE TEAM AT 614 DRAINS EXCEEDED MY WIFE'S EXPECTATIONS. WE HAD A DRAIN WE COULD NOT GET TO CLEAR. TRIED SNAKING IT AND SEVERAL BOTTLES OF DRAINO. THEY CAME OUT AND WERE EXTREMELY COURTEOUS. THEY GOT OUR DRAIN CLEARED. CLEANED UP AFTER THEM SELVES AND TOTALLY IMPRESSED MY WIFE AND I. WE WILL...
Drainworks showed up unannounced on 30 March to work on replacing the drain. My wife was home and watched them. It took the workers 1.5 hours to complete the job. They did a nice job pulling up the sod and laying the new PVC drain pipe. They replaced the sod but not well. (in fact, I later...

"Jesse Moore and his team are frankly amazing. I wish they did more than build patios and related work as I would hire them for everything. Quality people do quality work and are willing to adjust to meet the needs of the homeowner. This is the 3rd time I have personally used Moore Brothers for a patio. Each experience is better than the prior. We always seem to run into something unexpected. That is part of the process with large projects like a patio.

"They were able to come out quickly to assess the issue, then schedule the work.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Bloomingburg, OH
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
