"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

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to clean your linear drain every two to three months to prevent debris buildup. However, if you notice it draining slowly or an odor from your drainpipes, it’s best to clear the clogged drain and maintain it more often. If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
