"Our house was built in the 1890's. The foundation is stone with multiple generations of mortar in various states of disrepair. Our original plan of interior foam insulation was disrupted by some dramatic seepage on the north side of the foundation. Northern Basements came to provide us with a few options for repair. The diagnostic visit was very informative and the estimates reasonable. We chose the exterior drain option and sent in our deposit. The team that completed the work was amazing in what they accomplished and their very professional demeanor. We also purchased a dehumidifier system from Northern Basements. One year later all systems have worked very well. The basement is dry and we have had no other issues. "

"We have had an intermittant water problem in our basement primarily when it rains heavily in the Winter. I was very happy with the quick response from Mike Sears when we initially called to ask about repairing a water leak problem in our basement. Mike explained how his proposed solution would work to alleviate the water problem. Mike left us with a detailed estimate and informational materials about the proposed repair. He also explained what wasn't included in the job such as tearing out the current sheetrock, insulation and framing from the wall. I did this part of the work and the reconstruction after the drain had been installed. We spoke to Mike a few days later, agreed to the price and set a date for the repair. On the scheduled date, two of Mikes employees arrived on time and began to prep for the repair. They did a good job of hanging plastic sheeting around their work area so that the dirt and dust would not get into the rest of the basement. We had discovered a crack in the basement wall which wasn't visible when the original estimate was given. Scott Lee gave us a written estimate to repair it with carbon-fiber cloth and sealant. While this was an unexpected expense, there was no reason to put in a drain and leave a crack in the wall. Taking out a basement floor with a jackhammer and installing a drain is a hard, dirty job. Scott and his co-worker completed this job in about 6 1/2 hours including the additional work for the wall crack. They did a good job of cleaning up the old concrete and all working materials Scott explained how the pump would work when the water table under the house rose. My only issue with quality was the uneven concrete finish work on the basement floor above the drain. Because this was leveled by hand, there is a somewhat noticeable depression in this area of the floor. Overall, I am happy with the work and looking forward to a dry basement when the rains come this spring.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.
A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.
Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.
That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.
You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.
