"Cheryl was great to work with. Very professional and responsive and I would definitely hire again and/or recommend to friends and family. Rated "good" on punctuality because of a little delay in getting all the debris picked up."

"Hoarder Control did above and beyond in ALL areas: price, service, customer service, and hospitality. Curbside items were picked up timely; same day as requested. The clean up was superb; no lingering items that could be blown around the neighborhood. I was very impressed and will recommend over ANY trash collection service companies! Thanks for being there when we needed it the most. Keep up the great work!"

"Eric did a great job, he is very knowledgeable and efficient. He dug a drain from our driveway that was having erosion problems and installed drainage pipes on the side to fed them to the street storm drain."

"Date and price approx.  Too long and do not want to dig out paperwork.
When finished, toilet wasn't flushing efficiently and I asked the plumber to run a snake down it since the tile man had put a lot of old grout and other scrapings down the shower drain instead of hauling them away. He (the plumber) said it was not necessary. Several days later, I called General Plumbing to say the toilet still backed up when flushed and I still thought it should have been snaked. They came out and did so but wanted to charge me. I called the office and they agreed reluctantly not to charge. Plumber made it obvious that he was displeased about having to snake the toilet when he had said it was not necessary,  and about not getting to charge me, but the toilet worked fine after that.
Within a year, the caulking in the newly installed toilet was deteriorating but I did not call General Plumbing after their last reaction. 
This year when roaches started emerging from beneath the toilet and the flushing mechanism failed, I called a different plumber who pulled the toilet again. He said the toilet had  been set so that it was not touching the wax seal: thus the deteriorating caulk and roaches. He reset and recalled the toilet. No more roaches.
I had been using General for a number of years with great satisfaction (See my previous high ratings on Angie's list), but would unfortunately hesitate to use them now.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
