My Father started Larry's Plumbing in 1976 and serviced the San Francisco Peninsula, he recently passed it on to me. I grew up in the industry and understand every home and customer is different. I like to treat our customers with some old fashion customer service. Since moving to the area and commuting back to the Bay Area we decided to expand our business and add a second location, Sacramento and the surrounding areas. We look forward to working with our new neighbors.

"They were great! On time and very professional. Price was reasonable. I would definately recommend them."

"They failed to install correctly. Flex-tubing ruptured and spewed water everywhere. They came our and replaced flex-tubing and cleaned up the water. They failed to correctly install pressure relief valve. They also failed to tightly fasten the water heater to the wall. Now the water-heater has corroded electrical components from the water and blows the circuit breaker. No other contractor will touch the job because they do not want to be liable for it. NewWRX does not return my calls (2 calls), I have left messages to call me on their answering machine."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

Yes. Amongst the four most common types of septic tanks—plastic, fiberglass, concrete, and steel—those made of concrete are the most expensive. This is the case for a few reasons, including the fact that they’re very heavy, so pros have to use specialized equipment to install them. However, they’re also incredibly durable, making the price worth it if it’s in your budget.

A well pressure tank can last up to 15 years. However, how long your well pressure tank lasts depends on a few factors. If you have an appropriately sized tank from a high-quality brand, it’s more likely to last longer. Maintaining clean well water also helps since there won’t be sediment mucking up the works. Keeping to a maintenance schedule ensures that you catch minor repairs before they turn into big problems that require a complete tank replacement.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.
