"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

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.

It takes hair about two years to dissolve on its own in the drain without the use of any tool or help. Fortunately, using a drain snake, plunger, or any of the actions mentioned above to dissolve the hair will help get rid of the clog in as little as 15 minutes. 

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you’ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you’re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.
