"Justin responded to my call promptly and set up a time to come to unclog my cellar sink. He was courteous and professional. He is insured and very reason as ble. He spent 3 hours trying to unclog my drains. It turned out that the problem was with the city's sewer system. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him! He is a great representative for the plumbing industry."

"I was experience a sewer back up in my basement, the tech came within an hour. Extremely professional, knew exactly what he was doing. Cleared the line and showed me a bunch of roots, explained he could use high pressure water to get em out, I called roto rooter two years ago and they didn?t even mention the possibility of that, they told me it would be 14k to dig it. I gave the guy the okay to clear the line out with water, and I can?t believe he got the line looking brand new. Professional, affordable, left the place cleaner than when they came, would 100% recommend them."

"I'm extremely happy with the service; Rooterman came by on a Saturday to provide an estimate. He said he'd be back on Monday between 11:00 AM and 1:00PM. He arrived just before 11:00AM. He was efficient and neat. We had the kitchen faucet replaced and 2 hand held shower heads put in the bathrooms. He also unclog a drain. I would definitely recommend Rooterman."

"The team at Nature Redesigned, including owner Joe Shaw, were top notch and professional from beginning to end. To start, I spent weeks in the early summer of 2021 trying to get a landscaper to return my calls and eventually visit my property. It was brutal. Either I would never hear back or when I did, I was told it would be months before someone would be available. When I contacted Nature Redesigned, Joe quickly followed up and scheduled a review of my property. We requested all new plant beds around the house and asked that our patio be power-washed and new polymeric sand be put in. Within two weeks Joe and his team were here getting the work done. When the team was working on the patio, they noticed water gushing up from under each tile as it was stepped on. It turns out that every time it rained, the water under the patio was never draining away correctly. I was concerned that if it was left in this condition and the soil underneath eroded year after year, the patio would eventually become uneven and/or collapse. The team at Nature Redesigned immediately had a plan for how to correct the issue and put in a new drain system the next day. Since my wife and I were not confident determining which plants would be appropriate, Joe took that responsibility and made sure that what we had would add a variety of color, be resistant to animals nibbling, and would thrive based on where they were positioned in the yard. His team were also quick to address any minor issues that arose. Everyone on the Nature Redesigned team was competent, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend that anyone who is looking to have landscaping work done, whether for repairing damage or for adding new items (plants, patio, etc.), contact Joe Shaw and his team at Nature Redesigned."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.

Clogs in a sprinkler valve can be caused by various factors, including debris in the water supply, sediment buildup inside the valve, or damage to the diaphragm. Debris and sediment can accumulate over time, obstructing the valve's passages and impeding water flow. Damaged diaphragms may develop tears or holes, leading to blockages and affecting the valve's ability to open or close properly. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent and address these issues, ensuring your sprinkler valve operates smoothly.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
