"Our home was built in 1968 and has a very, very small crawl space. Prior to purchasing in 2014, there was a high moisture content noted by a home inspector and on the CL-100 that was not mitigated correctly by the previous owner. After moving in and recognizing there was still an issue, we had Clemson Extension come and inspect our crawl space, as well as three other basement/foundation companies. None of the other inspections were as thorough or complete as the one we got from Paul at Crawl Space Medic. Not only was he able to more thoroughly diagnose our issues under the house (which were many), but he explained the steps for mitigation, never tried to sell us anything that we did not need, and worked with us as each issue arose. First, the Crawl Space Medic crew had to excavate the entire crawl space of our home, which they did in the worst cold snap of the year. Regardless of the horrible working conditions, they were there early, stayed late, were respectful of our home at all times, and stayed on schedule despite the hardships of weather. Once the excavation was done and the full extent of the damages we were facing was assessed, we worked with Jon and Paul on developing the best game plan to repair the damage to our foundation and mitigating our moisture control issues. In fact, the french drain/sump pump was a line item on our estimate until they were 100% sure that it was needed. When the french drain was installed, they made sure that it drains inconspicuously and does not flood our landscaping every time it rains, which is a truly professional installation. Once we began work on the major repairs to the house, which included tearing the floor out of a bathroom for much of their project, they made sure our house was kept neat, that we were not inconvenienced as home owners, and that our repairs were done correctly and thoroughly. Every day, they let me know when they would arrive and when they left, and also let me know what time to expect them the next morning. Since we had to essentially replace an entire bathroom, they coordinated with our schedule and with our contractor on scheduling their portion of the work with the rest of our renovation. They made what could have been a horrible experience much easier! 

I would not have anyone else handle my foundation and crawl space repairs. We have had other contractors under the house, and we have gone under the house, since Crawl Space Medic's crew completed their work and everyone is impressed with the quality of the repairs. This was an extremely difficult job which they did beyond all expectations. In addition, after having other similar contractors come out and try to sell me on systems that we don't need and on remedies that would not work, Crawl Space addressed the elements of our problem individually, didn't try to sell me on anything we did not need, and went above and beyond on the quality of their repair. Other contractors simply marry new wood to existing to repair foundations - Crawl Space Medic actually removed all the damaged materials and put in new materials under our house. 

I highly, highly recommend Crawl Space Medic. Their entire team is beyond professional, and quite simply, they are the best in the business, bar none. I will not buy another home without letting them inspect my crawl space, and if we should need their services again, they are the only company I will ever call!"

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"Johnson's Painting is my hero. I called and he responded in 10 mins. I had previously called on another plumbing service a week prior and they did a horrible job not to mention their price was outrageous. Less than a week later, I began having the same problem of toilet backing up into the shower so I called on Don Johnson. He sent over his crew and they completed the job. Then a couple of days later Don return and put in a clean out valve on the outside free of charge. He is a honest, fair and very professional service. I would definitely hire him again for any home repair job. He and his crew are definitely top of the chart."

"We would highly reommend RH Builders for any construction related work. They were very professional from the estimate through the completion of the job. We had other companies who immediately wanted to remove the complete shower, but RH Builders did only what was necessary to repair the problem.The cost came in a little higher than anticipated, but the professinalism and workmanship made the additional cost well worth it."

"The only issue was it took them quite a while to get everything ready and then to get the job scheduled as they seem to be very good at what they do and have a backlog. It was about 10 weeks from the initial contact, until they were able to start the work. Once they started, they moved very quickly correcting the issues and completed the foundation work within a week. They also did an incredible job cleaning up behind themselves and you would never know they were there."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

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.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.
