We just purchased this house and the first time we ran the washing machine the water fountained out of the pipes and wasn't draining down the floor drain. Paul came out and discovered that cement had been poured down the floor drain mistakenly by the previous owners. The plumbing was also done in such a way that I had a long walk between my washer and dryer. Paul and I discussed what I wanted my laundry room to look like in the future as we have plans to finish the basement. Rather than having a quick fix, we wanted this room fixed the way it should be. I wanted the wash sink installed (Paul ordered me a real nice wall-mounted sink which was cheaper than the chintzy one we were thinking of) and the washer and dryer together. He ordered parts and came back at a date we agreed would work for us. After getting the required permit, he came and started removing the cement in the floor drain. He reached a point where he was going to have to start taking out the floor but asked if I would like to try a cheaper alternative. Yes! He poured a foul smelling mixture down the drain (a few bottles worth) and it did the job. He let us know that our water shut off for the house does not work which we will be hiring him to fix soon. Our laundry room is great. The plumbing works and we now know that the floor drain works. We had some rain water enter the basement through a cellar door that needs repair. If that had still been clogged we would have flooded. Thank you Paul!

Paul Vaccaro came to my Mom's home to give us our estimate. Since our basement was a finished basement with paneling and other decorations, on Paul's initial visit, he gave us good information on how to improve drainage around our house. However, he gave us instructions to prep the basement for a second inspection, so he could properly assess the condition of the walls behind the paneling, and thus work that needed to be done. As it turned out, we discovered more cracks and bowing of the walls behind the paneling, so we were glad we were not going to get unexpected costs after we signed the contract. After Paul's second inspection we promptly received his detailed estimate of work. Our plan was to get estimates from 3 high quality contractors, and pick the best one. One dropped themselves out of the process. Paul and the other contractor gave us estimates that we felt were very close in scope of work and price. However, the reasons we chose Accurate were quality reputation, word of mouth experience from a friend and also from a neighbor, time needed to complete the job, and warranty of the work. We took our time to make our decision (5 days) but once we had all the information we felt very comfortable with Accurate. The drain tile test was performed professionally, however we discovered unexpected issues. Paul had been very clear that this could happen, so we added the drain tile replacement to the scope of the work. My recommendation is to ensure that the timing of the drain tile test & basement work be well enough apart so that any additional prep work can be completed before the Accurate crew starts the job. We were able to do the prep work very quickly, but it was a rush job!! The crew arrived promptly & ready to work. Fred and Junior led the crew, and kept us informed of work to be done and progress. All the men working had Accurate T-shirts on, so we knew the guys belonged in our house! The guys were never loafing around - they were constantly moving & constantly doing the next tasks in the process. They even worked through lunch & dinner, sneaking in meals & hydration. The crew covered in plastic the items we had moved to the middle of the basement in our prep work. That covering protected the items & minimized the dust that needed to be cleaned up after the work. The crew members were also very informative & friendly - towards the end of the day we all had to resist chatting with each other so they stayed on task!! My Mom was very impressed with the work ethic of the entire crew, and their professional demeanor.. They worked until dark on the first day, and promptly arrived on the second day to complete all the work. There were a few follow ups like the city inspection & concrete pour during the following week, but Junior let us know the schedule so we had no issues. Also, they took care of a few tasks to make sure the basement and yard was in good order after the work was complete. Excavation and drain tile replacement will be create alot of noise & dust....so follow Paul's suggestions. My Mom left to her cousins' house a few hours to get away from the noise. I stayed because it did not bother me. But follow Paul's suggestions!! Also, the office staff and Paul were very responsive throughout the entire process. The bill was true to the quotes and contract, without any surprises. Overall my Mom & I can recommend Accurate without hesitation.

He did clean gutters but just blew with a blower leaving wet stuff. Did not clean out drain pipes and blew everything on the ground around my house leaving a horrible mess on my balcony and in my plant beds around the house.
The owner of Appleton Drain & Sewer called and asked if he could come earlier than the original appointment time. He asked me questions to be sure of all the problems I was having. He did the repairs and when he was finished he showed me with a camera the work he preformed on the interior of...

Great guys, were in and out quickly to unclog tub and sink drain. Charged probably what is minimum visit charge, so for a small job like this it was a bit pricey but they did a good job.

Very well. All the gutters are now draining properly. Weird part is the gutter over the garage was never hung correctly and now it is working great.

Excellent! Trigs worked with my contractor flawlessly. I had a small bathroom that we expanded to accommodate a double vanity. The only way our floorplan would allow the expansion was to move a plumbing wall. Throughout the course of the project, they sent 5 different plumbers. All of them...

New Paradigm Companies has been offering grading and drainage solutions, earthworks services, and construction services in the Fox Valley since 2020. New Paradigm Companies (NPC), was founded by a tenured environmental and building professional with over 15 years experience who had a dream to create a firm that addressed building performance and sustainability needs in the construction and earthworks industry in order to provide sound scientific solutions to improve our homes and land. The idea of "New Paradigm" came about as our desire to change the thought process in the home building industry as well as how we look at and manage our habitats and land. The term "paradigm" is essentially a deep ceded thought process (think of the term, "This is the way we always do that"). That statement essentially encompasses a "paradigm" or a set of values or ethos that we have. We want to change the way we think about our homes and habitats as a more comprehensive and holistic management system instead of our task focused system currently in place... thus "New Paradigm".

FAQs for french drain service projects in Appleton, WI
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.
