With over 20 years in the construction business, Danny’s portfolio of work includes interiors for corporate clients including Home Depot, Starbucks, Bjs, Teavana, Resorts world casinos, JC Penny’s, Barnes and Noble, Yankee Stadium and Charleston International Airport. Vanessa founded Evangeline Construction with Danny as a one man residential contractor when they moved to Charleston. Building the business from ground up Vanessa loves working with home owners while Danny and the crew build results that surpass their expectations. Both Danny and Vanessa take pride in getting the job done in a timely manner, and their customers applaud them for keeping each project neat, on schedule and efficient. If you are looking for a contractor that will “get it done” and “done right”, their reputations precedes him. Custom built cabinets * Bathroom Remodeling * Kitchen Remodeling * Custom Cabinetry * Hardwood and Tile Floor Installation * Tile * Demolition * Attic and Basement Refinishing * Doors * Trim * Crown, Base, Chair & Picture Moldings * Interior Framing * Sheet Rock * Repair Ceiling & Wall Cracks, Holes, Patches * Repair * Ceiling & Wall Damage from Water / Fire * Custom Fireplace Mantels / Tiling * Mud Rooms

"The kitchen remodel consisted of: new countertops, new kitchen island, painting cabinets, built in top glass cased cabinets, plumbing for new sink and faucet, install new range hood, range and microwave/ oven drawer, kitchen lighting, kitchen backsplash, and living room fireplace. Evangeline has an excellent team of professionals that work well together. Vanessa's communication from start to finish was amazing and made me feel at ease. She was available whenever I had a question on anything. Hands down! I knew my retirement home was in trusting hands. "

"AJ came out to my house to do a quote to replace the sink drain stopper for our two bathrooms. The quote was so much less than the other two quotes I had obtained that I hired him to do the job on the spot. He did the job professionally and in a very short time. He was also very personable and very friendly. I will call Servant Plumbing and ask that AJ come and do the same job at a condo I own in Mt. Pleasant."

"I have had my walk in shower for about five to six years. This past Sunday one of the shelves came off. I called this morning and the male in the service department said I had to pay $125.00 for them to fix the self, I thought it was a lifetime guarantee, he said just the material, not the labor and over a recorded line I ask so the labor is not good, he said correct. I like the shower but, the installation is not as it seems in the TV commercial. "

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.

Baking soda and vinegar aren’t just great for making a volcano for your kid’s science project. You can also pour this dynamic duo down your shower drain to dissolve hair clogs. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can step it up with a commercial liquid drain cleaner. 

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.
