I thought there was no way that a 14 year old home could have clogged drain tiles. We worried that we were being taken advantage of, and worried that our tiles really did not need replacing. We have a basement below lake level (we live on the water), and had three sumps running continuously forever. Dry basement for 10 years, slight water issues around the edge three years ago turned into one inch of standing water this summer. It was time for action. After getting ideas and estimates from companies as far away as Madison, we opted to go with ABT and their remedy. ABT was highly recommended by our plumber (O?Neill Enterprises), and we respect this plumber immensely. Their remedy entailed jack hammering the entire perimeter of our LARGE basement, followed by putting in a new drainage system and pumps and concreting the new edges. Their estimate comparable to others, however, they offered a LONG, TRANSFERRABLE WARRANTY. I also checked references, and was pleased at what I heard. This project was extremely costly and time consuming (see below) ? but IT WORKED. PREP: I would strongly recommend their suggestion to tarp/wrap everything in your basement. That which could not be covered, we moved out. We also had our HVAC come in and plastic off every intake and vent for our three furnaces. All of this was time consuming, but VERY worthwhile. DURING: The crew worked VERY hard and was meticulous about cleaning. Every night, things were put away nicely in the basement. As we have basement access through the garage, they did not need access to the house. The project took six work days, and one bonus visit after completion to fix a battery back up. AFTER: The basement is DRY! All pumps have battery backups, and a rep did a wonderful walk through with us to show us what we could/could not do with the new system. NOTE: Listen to the walkthrough, as some things we would have done would have voided the warranty. Nothing outrageous, but be sure to listen well. Again, the crew did an AMAZING job in cleaning. Even a handprint that I noted on the basement door frame was gone when they left. All pumps are absolutely silent, they made our old 3 hp pumps seem very outdated. The system they have engineered seems to work well, our basement is bone dry!!! BOTTOM LINE: There were a few small bumps in the road, but that can be expected with a major home repair. Nothing that was insurmountable. If the system remains working as it is, I will be a huge supporter of ABT! They truly fixed our issue, and our home is back to normal. I STRONGLY recommend ABT for any basement issues. 5 stars!!!

I then called Dave Harvey Plumbing & Heating. We made an appointment and he arrived on June 25. He took his time to diagnose where the water was leaking from. The Tub valve had a small drip leak into the tub area, he checked further and figured the leak coming from the drain piping. He said he will order the part and get back to me. Then on 6 of July he called and made another app't to come Monday the 8th. He called to say he was on his way. Arrived on time and went right to work doing an excellent job of replacing the old drain piping with new. He then checked all connections and ran the water to make sure everything was good and not leaking. After packing up his equipment he cleaned up any mess on the floor etc. I also should add he changed his shoes each time he entered or left the house. He was very pleasent and personable to talk to. Like someone I had known for the last few years. He told me he does not hire any help because his customers want him. Now, I can continue packing as I sold my house and the new owners will have no worry about any drains leaking water. If you are reading this Dave, THANKS AGAIN!

They fixed our drain the next day. Very pricey about $150 an hour. The technicians left a mess on top of our water heater and in our bathtub and instead of working on a payment plan their first thought was to threaten to put a lein on our home.

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 Oshkosh, 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.
