We learned their was a water leak at our neighbors house that was compounding our problem, but decided that we'd still like the swale work done to improve rain runoff during heavy storms anyways. Bob showed up a couple times to talk about what we wanted and to take some measurements. His price was the cheapest of the three bids we obtained. We asked for improved swales and installation of french drains in the swales. He was very nice and professional and again, the cheapest price. Work was done quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, I am less than happy with the results. The north side of the house looks fine, ableit they didn't keep the swale where it was and moved it even closer to my house, but I guess with the drain installation I was ok with that. However, I am very unhappy with the work done on the east side of our property - which is the backyard behind the house. I had asked for a swale improvement and what I got looks like a ditch/trench instead. We have a swing set which I understand might have impeded thei work, but again - adding a drain would have been sufficient enough and now I ahve a drain and what looks like a hug drop off in my backyard. I had my husband call them and explain my unhappiness and Bob's response was that their was nothing that could be changed based on his measurements and the location of our swing set and tree. I'm sorry, but there is ALWAYS something that can be done. I did not need THAT much improvement to the swale. I wanted it to look like it did before between the properties and not it looks nothing like the former. The view from my kitchen window now looks like a drop off right at the swing set and beyond that it looks like they took a huge chunk out of my backyard. To say the least - I don't think I would do it/use them again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/mukwonago/bob%27s-grading-inc-reviews-2315051.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Borth-Wilson Plumbing & Remodeling","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sandy S."},"reviewBody":"One of the best tile installers in the business.

The plumber, arrived that morning exactly when they said he would. I explained the problem to him and how the main sewer line was backing up. I explained a sure procedure to back up the line (fill up bathtub halfway, drain) and 5 minutes later there was a minor proof that it was plugged....
The plumber spent the morning removing concrete, replaced the drain and poured new concrete. They basically did everything they said they would do.

French Drains questions, answered by experts
It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.
Depending on the amount of hair you’ve got in the drain, the baking soda and vinegar method can help break it down. If that doesn’t work, you can try using a drain snake. If you don’t have a snake handy, you can straighten out a wire hanger and use pliers to fish out the clog.
The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost.
Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:
Snaking or rodding: $100–$250
Hydrojetting: $350–$600
Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000
Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500
If your dishwasher isn’t draining, some common causes include a clogged drain filter, drain hose, or air gap. Also, if you have a garbage disposal, a clog in the disposal can back up your dishwasher since they share plumbing, as can a clog in your kitchen sink’s plumbing. A handy DIYer may be able to figure out how to unclog a dishwasher, but you may need to call in a plumber if you can’t locate and clear the clog yourself.
Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.
