On Christmas Eve, we woke up to completely clogged drains. We called Roto-Rooter and they sent their technician Zack out to our house. He arrived within two hours of our initial call and had a speedy diagnosis for us. After attempting to locate our water main and the blockage itself, he recommended that we call the city because the block appeared to be in their jurisdiction. He waited with us until the city workers arrived and assisted them in locating our water main. After the city cleared the blockage, he checked our line to make sure that there were not any further issues. He also requested that the city add a clean-out box for our house since our house isn't covered by any of the other clean-out boxes on the street. Zack was very friendly and professional, and definitely went above and beyond to help us resolve our drain issues. We would definitely call Roto-Rooter again.

The result was that he determined our house had not settled and the foundation had not shifted. He addressed our specific concerns (what we were told and thought were indications of settling) and provided viable reasons for the discrepancies we cited. He recommended that we have a reliable sheet rock installer redo taping the walls that are showing small cracks at the seams on the interior and for future prevention measures, he recommended that we have extensions or a French drain system installed for our gutter downspouts to keep water as far from the footings as possible. He was very knowledgeable, good at explaining, and demonstrated outstanding customer service. Jason even gave us reliable contacts to carry out his recommendations!

"I found Dreamscape on Angi, and Tom Rozier and his crew did a fantastic job transforming my daughter's back yard while her husband was deployed. Working within my budget, Tom figured out how to replace a weedy, worn patio with something polished and beautiful that reminds me of the yellow brick road. Led by Tom's wonderful #2, Larry, Dreamscape provided plantings flanking the "road," in the corners of the yard, and in front--everything looks great. The leader of the crew who put down the hardscaping was a genius. In addition, Tom recommended Wright's Wells and Drilling to remediate the drainage problem that had long made the back yard unusable; Gary Wright worked miracles. Besides being likeable, Tom, Gary, and Larry are all seasoned professionals. They were communicative and helpful and worked within the constraints of weather and other jobs to get my job done before my deployed son-in-law returned. Heartily recommend Dreamscape."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Suffolk, VA
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
