"Super! All I needed was to have the drain snaked and he did it lickety split, no nonsense, and charged a very reasonable rate. Very happy, would hire again."
"When having our gutters cleaned, we realized that the underground drain from the house to the street was blocked. We contacted All County to try to have the drain snaked, but when he arrived, it was determined that the type of pipe used was not going to allow for snaking. We discussed options and decided to get on their schedule to have a new drainage line installed. All County came back about 2 weeks later and dug a trench from the street to the garage behind the house. They layed 110 feet of 4 inch, higher strength PVC drain lines and connected them to each of 3 downspouts. They then refilled the trench and verified the drainage. This was the 3rd occassion on which we've had All County to our home for plumbing issues; we definitely plan to keep calling them when needed."
"Came out as soon as they could after calling. Almost 100 year old dump trap failed causing water to overflow from upstairs bath to first floor and basement. Opened ceiling and installed up to code parts/new drain pipes within approximately 5 hours. Very professional. Explained process. Cleaned up after."
"Travis at Haines Drains is a lifesaver. He has helped me time and time again and is always extremely friendly. Customer service is top notch and I will be a customer forever! Thank you!"
"Derron and David did a great job cleaning a clogged outdoor drain, They showed me the before and after camera view of the inside of the drain pipe and were very friendly and personable. Emily and Rebecca in the office were excellent at communicating with me on scheduling and apprising me of service arrival time. A very professionally run company."
"I had an "Emmergency" basement flooding after washing a load of clothes. The drain was clogged near my washer, it backed up with this black stinky mess. I contacted Angi's List, he called right away. It was around 2pm , he was able to come that day around 7pm. Ken cleaned out the drain that led to the sewer it front of my house that had grown clogged with roots from my tree in the front yard.
Great job would highly recommend!"
"Excellent work. Work that other contractors had done in the past was corrected. The drains work like new. The work was done efficiently. Mr. Slawinski has the knowledge and skill to accomplish a professional result. Hire him."
"I was walking in my family room when I felt a drop of water on my forehead. I looked up and the ceiling was leaking, with water spots in several spots. I drilled with a small bit into the ceiling at several spots, and water fell through the holes at a good clip. About a quart of water was collected before it stopped. I thought it might be a wax ring problem and called Doug. He came right over, installed a new wax ring for starters, along with a shutoff valve and supply line. Doug said that the drain was probably cracked but he would try the easy stuff first. When the toilet was flushed, more leaking. Doug said that I had a cracked drain, and that the best solution was to replace that part. He said that he could get to it after labor day, a couple of days. Until then I used the other bathroom. Doug and his assistant showed up on time and cut the ceiling to obtain access to the drainpipe. The cut was smaller than I thought, about 1' by 2', and that was a big plus. The cracked pipe was cut out and the new drain pipe was installed. Doug works efficiently and cleans up any mess. I have used his expertise two times now, I would recommend him to anyone.
The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.
While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.
Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.
