"The firm ran into scheduling difficulty and was unable to make it at the original appointment time, but they gave fair warning and we agreed to an appointment the next day with no hard feelings. The tech arrived on time for the second appointment, was personable and solicitous (he put on shoe coverings), and I proceeded to ask him his opinion regarding leaky faucets in the bathroom. His suggestion was that the calcification in the existing faucets and their overall condition made replacement a far better option than repair, and he quoted me a very reasonable per sink labor cost, with the assumption that I obtain some new faucets. This is a minor setback, but I'd willingly employ this firm for that work, when my wife and daughter (the design team) can select some hardware for that bathroom. The larger issue, and the reason I wound up requesting a refund of the Big Deal of 50 dollars for 100 dollars worth of plumbing labor, is that I still have not received any written estimates from the home office for the water heater repair work, and that's something I had hoped to get done as soon as possible, so there's every chance that I will be shopping that job around. The tech did exactly what anybody in his position would do: he made a pitch for a tankless water heating system to replace our older tank (probably not a bad idea), and he also pitched a water purification system (Halo 5) to deal with the very obvious hard water we have here. My research on the Halo 5 has not suggested that it's truly capable of the level of softening achieved by salt systems, but we don't want a salt system for any number of reasons, so the Halo 5 may actually wind up being an attractive option. It's not attractive enough to commit to at this point, however, and the lack of a written estimate precludes any decision-making I might wish to employ.
Update: I never noticed the provider response to my review--I guess I was a bit impatient about getting an estimate in writing so that I could try to get the problems resolved before I left town, and for whatever reason your tech left me with the impression that an estimate was immediately forthcoming. You blame me, I'll blame him, and it really doesn't matter since Summer sent the estimate the day after this review was posted, and I accepted the proposal.
I'm not going to pretend that every single thing was rosy and delightful--the Halo 5 system needs to regenerate and dump gallons of water out into a planter every 7-11 days, and the tankless heater's ventilation takes the form of a pretty noticeable PVC arrangement on our HOA-monitored roof. Jesse and his crew did everything possible to make these issues painless, however (painted vent PVC to less conspicuous color and routed Halo backwash away from house), and I give them high marks for minimizing impacts with good humor and patience.
The brand new Navien heater was a dud--it had a faulty check valve, and that was preventing the kitchen (only the damned kitchen) from getting hot water. Debugging this unfortunate scenario took many hours, and it was not until the day after the tank got installed that Jesse was able to come out and prove to everybody's satisfaction that the manufacturer's suggested work-around was neither necessary nor correct. When the manufacturer wanted to replace the valve, Jesse insisted on replacing the entire unit. This goes beyond excellent service, by my standards, and I would happily hire these guys again. I don't know what the rules are on Angie's List for updating grades and such on a review, and I don't much care--I'm just going to go change them."
"They had to come out 4 times. The first water heater started leaking after 6 months. It was replaced. The second water heater also started leaking after 6 months. I contacted the manufacturer and they recommended a thermal expansion tank be installed. It was not installed the first or second time the water heaters were installed. I did have to pay a re installation fee. I picked up the 3rd water heater myself and they gave me natural gas water heater instead of propane. The fourth attempt they finally got it right and so far the water heater has worked after 7 months. The guy was very responsive as far as my calls and issues. He came out whenever I needed. Unfortunately, the entire experience was just a train wreck."

Most septic tanks need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years, but it’s a good idea to monitor the fill levels of your septic tank all the time. You can do this by installing a pressure level sensor to detect the internal tank pressure, or by having a septic tank company perform an annual inspection to let you know when you’ll need to pump the tank.
Many variables, such as home size, type of engineered system, the material used, soil conditions, and water usage, dictate how long your system will last. On average, most homeowners find that their system lasts 15 to 20 years, though it’s not unheard of for them to last up to 40 years with annual and preventative septic maintenance.
The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.
A leaking well pipe is quite different from if the well itself is leaking. To seal a leaking well, pour a cement mixture or bentonite into the space between the well casing and the borehole wall. The heavier cement collects at the bottom to form a solid seal, pushing lighter materials like mud and fluids up toward the surface. Professional well installation companies have the equipment to do this properly.
