Always a bad feeling when you wash some dishes and the water stays in the sink. Usually a little Drano or a quick plunge cures that but when nothing works you call the professionals. We did that and the Priority Plumbing rep was over within and hour. After a quick inspection he told us it wasn't just a blocked kitchen drain but a blocked main down pipe connected to it. Long story short...their people came the next day, removed and replaced the main pipe, the floor drain and the laundry tub. Tough to argue. They worked half the day and did the job which ended up costing quite a bit, e.g. $4000. I can't complain about the work but the cost seemed quite high. Sure, I could have asked them to just do the down pipe and leave but the floor was already busted up and if there were further problems with the parts undone...it would just cost more later. Drains all work fine so I can't complain about anything other than price and the fact they promised to do a camera scope of the main drain but didn't have the camera with them. My recommendation...get a couple of estimates, even if the water isn't flowing.

We bought a shed at Costco. Great price but didn't stop to think about the foundation for the shed. Realized I would probably need either concrete or patio stone surface for a proper base. Louie had done some very nice landscaping work for me in the past, so I called him again. He came out within a day to give me an estimate and promised to get the job done in a week. He and his two brothers were there the following Saturday with patio stones, screed and gravel. One day base preparation and next day laid down the surface. Quick, neat, very reasonable cost and perfectly level, which was a key component to a successful shed erection. I'd recommend Louie's landscaping to anyone.
