"<p>I had several plumbing jobs that needed to be done and I had been procrastinating for way too long. I called Cody and asked if he could come by for an estimate. He was able to squeeze me in the next day, AND he showed up right on time. My home is 30 years old and none of the bathroom fixtures had ever been replaced. There was a lot of rust and corrosion inside the fixtures and several were not working. Cody checked the showers, toilets and bathroom sinks and gave me an estimate of $703.00. The only thing I needed to buy was the fixtures for the sinks, but he supplied all other parts and fixtures. Because of my work hours, I thought I would have to wait a couple of weeks before I could schedule the work, because my schedule is so inflexible, but Cody offered to come by at 5pm just a couple of days later so I wouldn't have to take time off of work to get the repairs done. Cody and Anthony showed up on right at 5pm on the scheduled day and they had all of he work completed in 3 hours. Since he had to caulk the shower fixture, and it would take 6 hours to dry, he offered to caulk one, and come back the next day to caulk the other so we could use at least one shower tonight. I told him it was no big deal, since we all shower in the morning anyway, but it was very considerate of him to offer. When he checked my dishwasher, he found out that the person who originally installed it did no do it correctly and this was what was causing the problems (HUGE relief, because I was afraid I was going to have to buy a new dishwasher). </p> <p>After all of the work was completed, he advised me that the total would only be $675.00, not $703.00 because it turned out the sink fixtures I purchased came with supply lines attached, so he didn't need to charge me for them. I was very impressed with his honesty and professionalism. Cody an Anthony provided amazing customer service, were accommodating of my schedule and respectful of my time, they completed the work quickly and at a fair price. I highly recommend them.</p> <br />"

"I contacted Mr. Taylor around 6pm and he agreed to come on the same evening.  <br /> He was courteous and professional and recommend him highly.  <br /> After running the cable, he checked the sink in multiple different ways to make sure it was indeed fixed and working properly.  <br /> He was very clean and made sure to take shoes off when entering the home, and cleaned up after himself.  <br /> Very happy with the service and that the sink was fixed the same day!  <br /> <br />"

"Alex from Sewer Line Video Inspection Company arrived on time to clear our main sewer line, which had been blocked for a few days.  He was professional and worked quickly.  He ran a hydrojet through the sewer main line clean out, but the clean out has too many 90 degree turns.  So, he wasn't able to clean the drain with the large nozzle that he had.  He tried to clear it with a smaller nozzle, but that too was unable to work its way through the clean out.  So, he said that I needed to have a new clean out installed that would go through the ground directly to the sewer main line.  He said that he would need to come back on a later date to dig out and install the new clean out.  Before he left, he wanted to check the soil to see how easy it would be to dig to the main line.  He located the ground directly above the main line and began to dig a shallow hole to test the soil.  A few seconds later, he hit something in the ground, which he identified as a currently existing main line clean out!  It was amazing that he was able to find it.  Apparently, it was installed years ago before I bought the house and had been covered by the lawn at some point.  Alex saved me about $750 since he could now hydrojet the main line through the clean out that he just found rather than having to install a new one.  Thank you Alex!  A few minutes later, he had the sewer line cleared.  He ran a camera all the way through the sewer line to the city's common line under the street.  He identified a 90 degree elbow under the lawn that he said is probably causing the sewer line to back up.  I appreciate Alex's honesty in telling me that we can probably just replace that single elbow and it will fix our sewage problems.  I was afraid I might need to repipe the entire sewage system.  I will definitely call Sewer Line Video Inspection Company again in the near future to replace that elbow.  If you need anyone to clear a sewer blockage, call these guys!  They are great! <br />"

"01/2013 I purchased the big deal hoping that I just needed a main sewer line cleaning; unfortunately, I needed to replace the entire main sewer line.  I received this same opinion from several different providers at much higher prices than I received from Leak Free.  I decided to replace the main line. Leak Free did an excellent job installing a trenchless main sewer line very quickly with little interruption to my daily life. I have contacted Leak Free several times over the last 2.5 years for all my plumbing needs.  They are honest, quick and very knowledgeable. A+++ <br />"

"I have used these neighborhood plumbers for years. Not cheap, but no problems with the job. This time, the same issue came up which I will mention. ( and it looks like other reviewers have had same experience) . Had a backup the day after they came. Guy came, here 5 minutes, needed stopper, said he'd bring it. Next visit, no stopper. This guy had to install plumbing behind cabinet, and demos basically 5 pieces of wood. Also broke my sparkletts water crock dispenser and spilled a 5 gallon jug of water all over garage, had to clean up. Said he would replace it. Never heard another word, after calling twice. Then, the bill came. Extra charges: " 2 hours demo: $220.00 1 hour backup $110.00 ( here 5 minutes, did nothing, never replaced stopper). I angrily called office for these exorbitant and untruthful charges. Result; we are parting ways. They did reduce the bogus charges. I got great new plumber. They are also RED LILY ( terrible reviews). If Hire them do watch charges!!"

"Benny Zadikian and his son Coco had to replace the pipes behind a shower wall to install an updated shower valve and fix the leak(s). They followed the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter, and they were only satisfied when it was done perfectly according to those instructions. However, the manufacturer’s retro-fit kit was faulty due to a very obvious design flaw. It simply would not fit, even though the instructions and numerous manufacturer’s representatives stated it “should.” Therefore, I had to order a new shower trim and handle, at added expense, due only to the manufacturer’s design flaw – not Benny and Coco’s work. Unbelievably, the new shower trim and handle also had another obvious design flaw and would not fit either! This could have required entirely new piping – until Benny thought of a way to make it work. It was only due to his dedication and creativity that the new shower trim and handle now fit – despite the manufacturer’s second design flaw, which Benny corrected. Fortunately, the hot & cold valve stems were easily replaced. Benny Zadikian and Coco are as dedicated, honest and creative as they are knowledgeable and professional. Their work as impeccable. I referred them to my step-daughter and her family, and they were equally as pleased. I’m glad to say we now have a “family” plumber!"

"I had water leaking from my house onto the front porch, Kelly came out and discovered that my water lines were leaking. We set up a date and time to start the repiping, and everything went very well. Used new Pex piping underneath the house and into walls to supply each fixture, installed new shut off valves and stainless steel water supply lines to all sinks,toilets, washing machine and water heater, connect onto existing shower valves in wall, and patch all holes to a rough finish. Kelly is professional and friendly, came on time and cleaned up every day before leaving, taking all trash and old pipes with them. I will definitely hire him again for any future repairs, he was a pleasure to work with!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Apple Valley, CA

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
