"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."

"Excellent timeliness and cost. Reached out to 3-5 landscapers on Angie's List for a minor hardscaping job in my back yard. Ramon from Alonso landscaping was able to come out and provide an estimate on site with a very quick start date (2-3 months sooner than other landscapers). The estimate was also very competitive (on average, 50% lower than other quotes). Work was completed extremely quickly (~1 day) and I am very pleased with the end-result."

"Greenscapes exceeded our expectations during 2016 and 2017 multi-day projects to improve our landscape. When we purchased our new home in 2015 we knew that the very steep hillside needed more ‘repairs’ than we could do ourselves. In Summer 2016 Greenscapes weeded and cleaned-up the entire hillside, then planted many perennials and flowering shrubs in the east and west quadrants of our yard. They pruned old existing bushes in the middle section that we thought, at that time, might be sufficient. In Spring 2017 we realized that the middle section of the hillside does not match the visual quality of the 2016 improvements, so we asked Greenscapes to return. Last week the old shrubs and bushes were removed and replaced with several varieties of attractive plants. The results of both projects are excellent; beyond our expectations. Both crews are respectful, hard-working professionals who we welcome to see again. Special thanks to Josh Cobb for his design skills and leadership during both projects. A few days ago, based on the success of the 2016 and 2017 landscape improvements, we requested Greenscapes to return during 2018 for another project."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

Yes, drains are one common entry point for water bugs. However, water bugs may enter your home through various locations including doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Water bugs are drawn to the dark and moist atmosphere drains provide, and can easily find their way into your home through sewer drain pipes. You can stop water bugs from entering through drains by regularly cleaning your drains and repairing faulty drainage systems.

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.
