"About a week previously, we discovered that water had leaked into a cabinet that is built into the wall of our finished basement.  I had tried to fix the issue myself by replacing the seal on a toilet on the second floor of the house.  Unfortunately, I found that this did not remove the source of the water. 
I called McLean Plumbing based upon the reviews that I'd read on Angie's List.  The owner indicated that their schedule was tight, but if they had a chance, he would call me to let know.  As it turns out, they had a customer that delayed an appointment, which left an opening for us. 
When they arrived, I showed the area where the water was leaking.  I described the work that I had performed in the bathroom upstairs, at which time they had asked if we had another bathroom, which we do. 
Within seconds of showing the other bathroom, the plumber found the true source of the issue.  The toilet in the other bathroom proceeded to drain water into the floor area. 
From that point on, they were professional, courteous, and friendly.  I asked about a few other items, including a flushing issue from another toilet in the house, and they took care of it right away.  I asked about the potential for remodeling the problem bathroom, and they made some very helpful suggestions.
There is no longer water leaking into our basement cabinet.
All in all, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend McLean Plumbing to anyone who is in need of plumbing services.

"We've got an early 80's Zicka 4 BR house. Turns out the foundation drainage wasn't done properly when the house was built...our sump pump only drained ~1/4 of the basement because water doesn't flow uphill. Everdry jack-hammered the inside perimeter of the basement, replaced the drain system, installed a Cadillac-grade sump pump, trenched around the outside of the foundation, installed plastic sheeting & french drains. I've never seen a crew work like them. Wasn't cheap, but the job definitely wasn't easy. I hope Ian the crewleader runs for president."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner’s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.

You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
