"Ethical Plumbing was exactly what I was needing for this project. It was too much for me to handle by myself, but I couldn't afford to completely hire the work done. Dan worked with me coming out to my house many times before even starting work to offer advice on things I could do before he arrived to save me money. For example, I needed to have some concrete cut out and removed. He met with me and explained that while they could do that, I could save a lot of money by doing that myself (which I was happy to do.). Once the concrete was removed, he stepped in and reworked the old drain system to relocate the bathroom. He replaced some old cast iron drain with PVC in order to do this. He was always thoughtful about the process and included us in the decision making that came up as things changed. He was always willing to answer questions and accommodating of our changes in plans. In the end, we ended up reworking quite a bit of existing plumbing to gain more headroom and generally improve things. He also installed a bathtub, washer hookup, and replaced an outside faucet for me. I would highly recommend Ethical Plumbing without reservation to my friends and co-workers."

"They did a great job working a long day because I added installing the dehumidifier about half way through the job. When they arrived we talked through what they were going to do they thought it best to add some more drain tile which cost me no extra he said if we do it we do it right. Great job!!"

"Stephen was great, my tub backed up with water and my toilet would not flush, turns out my septic field needed replacing. Very responsive, reasonably priced and best of all. I didn’t have to leave my home during the repairs. I’d give 10 stars if I could."

"Great! The work was done last November and I chose to wait a couple months to see if the fix would last over time. It did! They also had another drainage issue that I was unaware of. Fixed that too at no extra charge. I had 3 estimates. I picked Falcone because their solution made the most sense to me...and they had the lowest cost estimate. Great people to work with. They installed a french drain,a sump pump, and reran gutter downspouts."

"I had a main line clog. I called Chisholm and they sent out a tech on the same day!! I didn’t have to pay a fee to get the technician out. He arrived in a fully stocked truck, wore she covers in my home and explained all of my options. They offer zero percent financing options which we took advantage of. I can’t say enough about this company and I will definitely call them for any future needs I may have."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.
