"Our water pressure to the house was over 120psi; should be 60 to75psi.  The builder did not install a pressure regulator, so the high pressure ruptured the bladder in the expansion tank, and the hot water heater was leaking water through the pressure relief valve.  Called Amanda Plumbing on Friday, and scheduled service for Monday morning.  Hayden called about 20 minutes before the scheduled time to say he was coming, and he arrived on time.  He verified the issue and installed a pressure regulator.  He didn't have the proper size expansion tank, so a return appointment was scheduled for Wednesday morning.  Hayden snaked our clogged outside drain that the sump pump drains into.  He was able to cut out the tree roots clogging the drain 68 feet out (which was good, since the snake is only 75 feet long).

Hobie called about 15 minutes before the scheduled time on Wednesday, and arrived on time.  He quickly installed the new expansion tank.  Both plumbers were professional, quick and friendly.  Work was performed correctly and without issues.

I will be using Amanda Plumbing next spring when we convert to natural gas, and to replace our old water heater, and anytime we need plumbing work.

Customers say: Super punctual

"I called Jack Woods Plumbing, and they had a cancellation for the afternoon, so were able to fit me in. The plumber called to tell me that he was on his way, and soon after he arrived, the sink was unclogged, the drain in the bathtub was adjusted so that it drained more quickly, and the plumbing under two more sinks was inspected to see if there were any leaks. The plumber was polite and professional, and without our asking, he gave us a senior discount."

French Drain Service FAQs

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.
