"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."

While homeowners connected to a municipal sewer line still have to keep up with plumbing maintenance, the downside to a septic system is that all the maintenance falls on the homeowners. Not calling in a pro to pump the tank every few years or accidentally flushing or draining the wrong types of materials can quickly cause clogs, which can back up into drains around the home.
A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.
Conventional anaerobic septic systems are the most cost-effective and least expensive type, with installation costs typically ranging from $3,000 to $8,000. For comparison, sand filter systems cost between $7,000 and $18,000, while mound systems are the most expensive at $10,000 to $20,000. Several factors influence the final price. The tank material is a key consideration; plastic tanks are the most budget-friendly option, starting around $2,900, but concrete and fiberglass tanks offer greater durability and longer life spans at a higher cost. The size of the tank also affects the price. For example, a 1,000-gallon tank costs between $900 and $1,500, whereas a larger 1,500-gallon tank costs $1,500 to $2,500.
The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.
Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
