"Have not got the bill yet, so I can not rate "value for money" But Ben and his helper did what they could. He discovered the cast iron drain has rusted away and was draining into the ground. (Mop sink) And they cleaned up their mess! Highly Recommended !"

"Ekerns did a great job when we built our house in 2008 with heating, A/C,and plumbing. If we have a problem they will either come out the same day or the next. They also did a great job when we built living quarters in our shed for our daughter this year."

"We needed an outdoor spigot replaced, as the pipe was leaking into our basement whenever we turned on the spigot. He was quick in coming over, did an excellent repair job, and when one of the newly installed pipes proved to be defective, quickly replaced the damaged pipe at his own expense. The cost was less than we expected. We are very satisfied with the work he did, the time spent on the job, and the quick response time. I would highly recommend him."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

There are several steps you can take to prevent your AC drain from clogging. This includes cleaning the drain line at least every three months, changing the filter every one to three months, and getting your AC serviced annually. Also, if any problems arise with your AC, hire an HVAC technician to deal with them ASAP.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.
