Chris was very professional, courteous and did an excellent job unclogging the drain. (Its been a few days and I've not experienced any water issues.) He even went so far as to fully clean up the dirt/mess from the water. Truly above and beyond. Great price with the Angie's List Member special. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again or refer to friends. Thanks for the great service.

They were punctual and responsive. We encountered a problem during the installation and they handled it - saving me a headache. I really appreciated that. The entire team was knowledgable and helpful. They worked fast and efficiently - not dragging this out like some service providers. Afterwards, they cleaned up and explained the drain-system to me. A week later they followed up with a spray treatment over the new concrete. They are very service oriented and care about your basement..!

We agreed on an appointment for Friday, August 30th at 3 pm. The service tech (Shawn) called about 1 pm and said he was available and could he come early. I agreed and he arrived about 1:30. He cleared both drains and diagnosed a contributory problem in the laundry room as an inappropriate drain vent on the laundry room line. He made a trip to the plumbing supply house and installed a vent line. He spent approximately 2 and one half hours at the house and including parts Charged me $227.50. When I asked him about some other work I am contemplating he provide me with a written quote. Installation of a utility sink in basement. The quote of $450 included both parts and labor. This seems like a reasonable cost for the work. I would definitely would use this company again and plan to have the basement sink installed next month.

The appointment time was scheduled for the window of 2-4:00 pm two days ahead. My husband was at my son's house by 1:30 so that he would not miss the appointment. When no one had showed and no one had called, at 4:01 I called Roto-rooter to find out where the technician was and was told that he was in the subdivision and had just called the office to get the address. When the tech got out of his truck, he commented that he had been to this location two years before for the same issue and that the lady present at that time said that a big hole had been dug when the propane tank was inserted into the ground. Apparently that severed the drain pipe. But the tech did run the snake down the line to show my husband that the snake only went a short distance before it hit the tank. He did offer to work up an estimate to dig up the front yard and replace the drain line. The two technicians were at the house less than 10 minutes because my husband called me before 4:15 to say that they had already left.
Although we expected a bill, we never expected $128.00 for the short amount of time that was spent at the house for an issue that the company had responded to two years before. During a call to Roto-rooter about the bill, we were then told that the minimum to come to the house was $128 and if it had been longer than a half hour the bill would have jumped to $250.00. Had we been told this to start with, we would not have gone with them. This was not a good experience in that we weren't told that there was minimum charge, there were no calls to let us know that the technicians were running late, and several calls to the office that afternoon during the appointment window went unanswered. I would never recommend Roto-rooter to anyone.."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/forest/roto-rooter-reviews-6590336.htm"},"position":10}]}
French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Timberlake, VA
There was water that went into the inside of my walls from the window cleaning. They said the drains were blocked, and that I should have opened those. I countered that they should have told me to look for that, or they should have checked before they started! After they left, it was evident...

Excellent ! On Wednesday April 20, I called the plumbing company I had used for over 25 years (also has A rating here) and had to leave a message and requested a call back. When I did not get a call back, I called Light Plumbing and Drain. They called back right away and set a time the next...

"If I could just rate some of the service technicians I would rate them higher and would recommend that they find a new ethical company to work for! We purchased our unit seven years ago. We had gotten a quote several months prior to purchasing our unit and when we purchased there was a sale that was $500 cheaper then the quote. They had us sign the quote sheet acknowledging installation which had ten year parts and one year labor warranty which we did not pay attention to since it was an old quote. However, the invoice we received had the correct amount that I paid and listed 10 year parts and labor warranty which now they don't want to honor. An attorney I consulted said the invoice would stand up in small claims court which I am now considering. It's just ashamed people don't have ethical business practices. I would encourage anyone looking for a new unit or service for existing systems to look elsewhere!!!!!"

FAQs for french drain service projects in Timberlake, 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.
