"We hired MPH plumbing to renovate our bathrooms (2 vanities, new shower/bath, 3 toilets, 4 faucets). It took a little longer than expected due to some damaged flooring and another scheduled job, but we're very happy with the overall outcome! Mike went to bat for us, too, when somehow I ordered a faucet without a drain/stopper and the distributor wanted to charge full price. Mike was available by text, phone, or email and gave updates of his progress. I had to do some minor touch ups (eg, caulking, silicone), but this was part of a complete renovation. So the painting, lighting, and bathroom accessories were my responsibility. Mike's a nice guy, too, and will be respectful of your property and pets. I would hire him again, but I don't have any more bathrooms to fix up. I only wish he did kitchen renovations!"

With over 20 years in the construction business, Danny’s portfolio of work includes interiors for corporate clients including Home Depot, Starbucks, Bjs, Teavana, Resorts world casinos, JC Penny’s, Barnes and Noble, Yankee Stadium and Charleston International Airport. Vanessa founded Evangeline Construction with Danny as a one man residential contractor when they moved to Charleston. Building the business from ground up Vanessa loves working with home owners while Danny and the crew build results that surpass their expectations. Both Danny and Vanessa take pride in getting the job done in a timely manner, and their customers applaud them for keeping each project neat, on schedule and efficient. If you are looking for a contractor that will “get it done” and “done right”, their reputations precedes him.

"My husband and I decided to remodel our main bathroom, with a goal of updating our vanity and shower. We found it surprisingly difficult – many contractors didn’t bother to return calls, quoted ridiculous prices, or required us to do additional services we didn’t want or need. It was a delight to meet Vanessa at Evangeline Construction. From the moment we met, she sized up our space, listened to our goals, and offered suggestions. The project cost and timeline were just as she quoted. Vanessa maintained communication with us throughout the process – she was friendly and responsive to questions, and kept us up-to-date about the plan. If something needed attention, she was on it. All the vendors she recommended were professional and courteous, hardworking, and cleaned up after their work was complete. Danny created a custom vanity and framed out a mirror for our space. I am very pleased with the results, and would highly recommend Evangeline Construction for any remodeling needs."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink that don’t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.
