"Showed up promptly, did very professional work but it cost twice what Home Depot charges. Was 1.5-2 hours plumbing plus 45 minutes wait for the replacement to be delivered by a co-worker. Easy job, simple swap out/swap in, copper welding and adding a small expansion tank. Water heater is listed online for $441, so excluding the $300 added cost for expansion tank I was charged over $300/hour for a very basic water heater swap in a clean garage. Great guys but I'm not made of money. I can't afford to pay twice what Sears and Home Depot wanted just to get copper pipe versus flex-pipe. Especially since the last two water heaters they put in lasted only four and six years, respectively. In fact ten years ago Caccia charged me $800 for the same job that just cost $1570 (excluding expansion tank). I like 'em, but I can't afford them any more.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes, a septic tank can get full. If this happens, you might run into issues flushing your toilets or draining your sinks. You may also notice your pipes making gurgling noises or the smell of sewage floating around your house. Other signs of a backed-up septic tank include water pooling or fresh, healthy grass growing above your drain field.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.

Deciding between an engineered septic system and a conventional one depends on property size, soil quality, local regulations, and environmental factors. If your property has limited space, poor soil, or is close to sensitive environmental features, an engineered system may be required. Professional site evaluations, considering water usage, long-term plans, and budget constraints, can help determine the appropriate choice. Consulting with a septic system professional is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations and selecting the best system for your property's unique needs.

Frozen well pipes make themselves known quickly, as your faucets slow down to a trickle or shut down completely. If you notice a serious reduction in flow in the winter from toilets, showers, kitchen faucets, and other plumbing fixtures, a frozen pipe or two is to blame. Another tell-tale sign is frost or ice on exposed pipes outside. 

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.
