"100% positive experience with Kurt. He instantly responded to my service request to replace a water heater and showed up next day 7am on the dot. Honest guy and much more reasonably priced than other plumbers in the area. Definitely will use him for future plumbing projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"Quick and easy. I've used him before because of great service. Already had everything because my other one broke and drained all over the floor. Probably would have been at least 3-4 hours if I was replacing one that broke because of just not functioning."

We had a very hot and cold experience with Alonso Landscaping.  They were very responsive when we first asked for a quote to remove numerous shrubs and redo all of the landscaping in front of our house.  The estimate came back quickly and was very reasonable compared to other companies.  At that point, we wanted to change some of the plants Ramon used in the estimate.  It took between 3 weeks to a month to get any further response with our changes.  We would call Ramon on his cell, call the main office, and email but get no meaningful response.  Then, Ramon responded, made the changes, provided the new estimate, and got his crew out in less than a week to do the work.  I am not sure what caused the difference between the times when Ramon was incredibly responsive and the period where he was totally unresponsive.

The work itself looks great.  Ramon was very willing to work with us, listen to our thoughts on what we wanted, and put together a beautiful landscape that captured exactly what we wanted and made it look even better than we had imagined.  His crew left a few branches from some shrubs they removed which they could have disposed of, left a very large landscaping stone in the yard instead of in the landscaping, and moved our hose from the backyard to the frontyard without returning it when they finished.  They also broke a feature on our hose nozzle.  Other than those couple small problems, it was great to work with Alonso.

Small jobs welcome

"Central Wisconsin Excavating (CWE) did a fantastic job on our project. They built a solid, well-prepared foundation for our 80,000-bushel grain bin and graded our driveways perfectly to ensure water drains away from our buildings. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism really stood out. The site was left clean and properly finished, and everything was done right the first time. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend CWE to anyone needing excavation or site work done right."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

Yes, you can use vinegar to unclog a dishwasher. To do so, combine 4 tablespoons of white vinegar with 4 tablespoons of baking soda and pour the mixture down your dishwasher’s drain. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then pour a cup of hot water down the drain to flush everything out. Finally, run a rinse cycle on your dishwasher to see if the clog is gone.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.
