"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.

"I literally had, not only black mold, but mushrooms growing in my basement due to the high moisture and water coming up from the cracks. after doing a lot of research on basement waterproofing, EverDry was the only company whom I thought did the job â the right wayâ . Other companies wanted to put the water track on top of the footer of the house (which makes no sense). EverDry put in a system similar to a French drain which took care of 75% of my basement problem. Then they tackled the outside problem. The foreman and his team were courteous and knowledgeable. True that theyâ re not the cheapest option out there, but theyâ re worth every dollar. I would definitely call EverDry again for another house or recommend them to another person in the same situation."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

You should inspect and clean your French drain at least once per year to keep it in good working order. Regular maintenance can help identify clogs, buildup, and damage before they become bigger problems, which increases the lifespan of your drain. The frequency with which a drain clogs can depend on factors like the amount of debris, the quality of the installation, and the type of filter used. If your drain accumulates a lot of sediment, it may require more frequent cleaning. It's also a good practice to check the access and exit points after heavy storms. If you notice reduced drainage or any signs of a clog, clean the drain as soon as possible.

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

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.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.
