"Several years ago we had tree roots that were growing into and blocking our drainage lines beneath our basement floor perimeter. We called EverDry and they promptly sent our a representative who laid out a clear plan with cost. It was during the colder weather and he gave us a better price to keep his men busy. They worked efficiently and dug out around the exterior and tarred the walls. Inside, they broke through the floor around the perimeter to lay new lines and moved the sump pump to a further corner of the basement and neatly covered the old hole. It was a messy job that my wife and I feared would never get cleaned up. How wrong we were. They removed all of the concrete debris and when they were finished, our basement was as clean as it had been before the work started. Remarkable! We have continued our $25 a year to maintain our warranty and have made use of it (with no charge) on several occasions. We made a good deal. G.J. Bowling Green, OH 43402"

"We had a challenging project with water removal and structural support issues. Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done. Thanks to (Manager) Cornell for his assistance on this complex project. Matt E"

"Home Advisor is not User Friendly to do initial reviews prior to the work being done. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN STARTED YET ON THIS REVIEW. I RATE Advance Restoration a 5 STAR INITIALLY based on their communication and responsiveness, and will add/delete to this review once the work has been completed. Marty has been great, so far! Discharge may cost more, and I will evaluate in detail after the work is done. I am an older senior and my husband is 18 years older than me. Since I am more familiar with houses, issues and know how to ask many questions, I handle issues that arise. When I saw a little water weeping into our unfinished basement concrete block and onto the floor a little, I decided to call and get estimates for waterproofing companies. Our home is a ranch built in 1968. I was looking for bids for a partial system and open to recommendations for our basement floor as our full south wall and 2 feet on either side are done already. Several from Angie's list responded quickly within 1 or 2 days. Five or six, I believe, were interested. Two were unknown to me and not considered. I received estimates from 2 well-known bigger companies, 2 bids from better known (I think) companies, and 1 bid from an individual. One of those, though, the inspector was sick, so it took 3 business days (and a weekend) to receive an estimate. The company that I chose and impressed me through Angie's (Pop-List Company) was Marty of Advanced Restoration Waterproofing, who responded same day. We also communicated the next day, and he came out the following day. Marty listened to me, and we discussed our immediate needs, not more or less. He spent a lot of time with me. On the third after after contacting Angie's List, he gave me an email proposal, their company pledges, Certificate of Liability, and many references. I called a couple of them. One of them said that two others in his neighborhood used Advanced Restoration and were very happy. Those I called were happy customers. Once I received his proposal, and I had my wits more in line to concentrate on all the information that I had received, I reviewed his proposal later. Marty, Advanced Restoration was so responsive to my questions, as another I was interested in. But, Marty is confident in what his company does, and he recommended I call Mike Bird, the owner, who would explain any questions to me, and for me to go to their website to review photos, etc. OMGosh, they have so many pictures on there, you surely will find all the things you want to see about the job they are going to do for you! I could not find those kinds of pictures on some other companies websites! He priced us on 25 lineal feet of french drain, sump pump (5 year ltd. warranty) with a battery backup, and sump pit basin with up to 15-20 feet discharge piping, etc. Well, after looking at pictures and several questions, he offered to come out again, and we discussed everything in detail and to answers any remaining questions, and discharge options. While we were talking I decided that I needed more lineal feet. Marty revised the proposal, the price was good, I signed a contract and paid deposit to them to do the work. Based on Marty and Advanced Restoration's RESPONSIVENESS and COMMUNICATION, I would give them a Five (5) Star rating.. Well, that is it for this beginning review. I will have to update this review once the project is done."

"I had them put in two exterior sump pumps, because my previous pumps were incorrectly installed. My basement was flooding every time we got rain, and so I had Danny of Reliable Waterproofing rout all of the water into the exterior sump pump, and that solved the problem. I would recommend them very highly, I was very happy with the work. Excellent customer service - they did this work in the fall, and over the winter, the hole had settled. They came back in the Spring and repaired the damage for me."

"I would highly recommend Reliable Waterproofing and will use them again in the future if different cracks arise. They were quick to come out to identify the problem, provide an estimate, and return to finish the project at a reasonable price. I would recommend this company to anyone experiencing water issues around their foundation."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

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

The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To manually drain a washing machine, you’ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
