"My problem was water coming in around a door in the finished section of my basement when it rains. The door opens to a concrete stairwell that leads up to a set of Bilco doors, then to the outside. I’ve had several water proofers give me their opinion and an estimate. Most wanted to install a French drain under my basement floor and a sump pump for $9,000+. My concerns with this is that water was not coming up from the ground, but down from the bilco doors. A.J. from A.J. Waterproofing came to look at my problem the same day I called him. He determined that rain water was coming in from the front of the bilco doors. His solution was to seal and water proof the cracks/holes/voids in the stairwell, inside and out and place a cement slab in front of and partially around the bilco doors on the outside. In addition, he installed an optional sump pump for added insurance. Total was $3,000. A.J. and his crew arrived on time, all were polite and courteous, and completed the job in one day. When the work was complete, everything was cleaned up to a cleaner state than it was before they arrived. Seriously, there was not a speck of dirt in the stairwell or in my basement…and they were all throughout my basement. My wife and I were very impressed at this. So far, no water and the stairwell has been completely dry. Overall, A.J. diagnosed the specific problem, proposed a reasonable solution, and completed work in a very professional way. At no point, did I ever feel like he was just trying to BS me. From start to finish, I felt a level of trust and comfort that is all too uncommon these days. I highly recommend A.J. Waterproofing to anyone needing this type of work."

"We recently bought a house with a finished basement. Unfortunately, a small amount of water entered the basement after every hard rain. We first contacted Value Dry, but their hard sell made us feel like we were in a mob movie. It was very unpleasant. We contacted Paradigm and they were friendly, honest, and a joy to work with. We are short on cash due to to the house purchase and wanted to try a sump pump before incurring the expense and destruction of a french drain system. They installed a sump pump with a battery-powered backup pump and connected a gutter downspout to an existing external drainage system. So far so good! If it turns out that the sump pump is not enough, we will happily have Paradigm install a french drain system. We are very happy and comfortable working with them.

"It went great. Billy Pearsall came over and fixed the problem the same day I called. Both our bathroom tub and sink never drained well, and now they do. Billy was competent, pleasant, polite, and respectful of our home. I highly recommend Valdel and Billy Pearsall."

"They performed the work quickly and the guy was nice but the charge was 480 for a clearing a basement accessible drain. Got quotes from other for 150-350~ for clearing the same drain but wouldn’t come out as soon as DE plumbing pros. Seems very overpriced and wouldn’t use again unless I absolutely had to. Their customer service was good and theirs plumbers professional."

"Great service. They were timely in returning my call. After I explained my problem, they were there the next day to inspect my clogged basement sink. They found the spot after checking the flow of water in several places. They flushed the pipes and the water drained quickly. They even gave me tips to keep debris from clogging the drain again. And the price quoted was the price I paid. They were respectful to COVID19 as they wore masks and shoe covering. I am well pleased with their service and will use them again."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

No, it is not advisable to spray pesticides down the drain in your home. Most drinking water and wastewater treatment systems are not properly equipped to remove pesticides. Should pesticides infiltrate waterways, they can cause harm to plants, fish, or other living things. In most areas, pouring pesticides down the drain is illegal due to the potential harm it causes. 

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

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.

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

Once you’ve poured the baking soda and vinegar into a drain, you should wait about 10 minutes for the mixture to break down the clog. If you try the baking soda and vinegar method and it doesn't work, you can do it again or try the baking soda and salt trick.
