"Original pipe slope is minimal so build up and back up has been an issue and it’s very time consuming to clear. Jenri was here on time and immediately went to work. He was exceptionally polite and despite the nature of plumbing kept work space very clean. Clean and put everything back when he was done. VERY HAPPY WITH WORK AND EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!"

"I was really impressed with Phill's Pluming, from the time I requested a quote through the final installation. Phill responded to my request quickly, and researched the facuet I was looking for. Within the same day I had a quote. He ordered the facuet and it was installed with a couple of days. His employee, Joe was on time, wore a face mask, covered his shoes, made sure my floor was covered, and completed the installation quickly. I was looking for a go to Plummer that I could trust and rely on, and I definitely found one. - Lml, Irvine"

"Mario, with EcOrganic Landscape Services (ELOS), was brought in to resolve a difficult situation with our community irrigation system. It was a significant break in the main line underneath a concrete driveway. Previously, this main line was repaired by another company in the same spot. Once Mario analyzed the situation, he determined the root cause of the breaks and provided us with a permanent solution. He replaced the entire pipe under the concrete with a single piece, eliminating all joints under the concrete. He did it in a non-invasive way so that the driveway looks like nothing happened. Furthermore, Mario is very professional and responsible, and he stayed on top of the entire project process, communicating effectively with me and with the homeowner affected by the break. As expected, I have already rehired EOLS to help us with another landscape issue. We highly recommend Mario from EOLS for your irrigation and landscape services. He will do an excellent job for you."

"When my wife and I discovered our home, built in 1953, had aged out of Earthquake Insurance eligibility because it hadn't yet been retrofitted, we immediately went about correcting that issue.
From the first contact of arranging for an estimate, through scheduling the job, to the work team who did the actual work, and the above and beyond efforts of every single member of their company to make sure the city sign off went through, we can honestly say that Alpha Structural ranks as one of the best companies we've ever worked with.
After the Napa Earthquake most retrofit companies were swamped. Alpha Structural was no different. But they handled our bid as if it was THE most important job on their calendar. What was even more impressive was the honest compassion shown by Kyle Tourje (Alpha's Structural Assessor) and Steve Ferguson (our job Supervisor) when I informed them of a standing weekly doctor's appointment I had. Since I needed to be home to supply the crew with power I was now asking them to schedule our job not only around their existing jobs, but around me. They took this in stride like it happened everyday.. Even with their work load and my day restrictions, our job was scheduled in a timely manner. 
When the bid came through I had several (read: lots) of questions. Kyle answered every one in detail and never made me feel foolish for asking any of them. In fact, he was pleased to share his vast knowledge and did so in layman's terms so I could follow along easily.
It was clear early on that Alpha Structural is run on the premise of Customer First. Every appointment made was kept - and on time.  Every call was returned. As well as every text and email. Every member of the work crew was professional, polite and eager to answer the myriad of questions I had regarding the minutia of retrofitting.  They arrived on time, prepared to work.
The job totaled four days. The crew arrived at 7:00am, worked through with only a lunch break as far as I could tell, and when they left for the day, the area around our crawl space entry was so clean, it looked like no one had been there all day.
Steve Ferguson, actively checked on the job's progress and Kyle Tourje stopped by as well to see if things were going all right and wanted to know if I had any questions. This type of personal involvement from top members, who had many jobs in the works, including some rather large ones, floored me. But, both Kyle and Steve let me know in words and actions that Alpha Structural doesn't have any 'small' jobs. Each job is big to the family who hires them. So it's big to them as well.
When the job was done and the work crew gone, Steve Ferguson stopped by, went under our home with his camera, took pictures of the details of the work performed and though all was good, he wanted it perfect. The crew came back for an hour or so to do a bit more. I was very impressed with this extreme attention to the smallest detail.
Now we were ready for the city inspector. But before the city's inspector came, I got a visit from Dick Sullivan, Alpha Structural's surprise inspector. Not even the top echelon of Alpha Structural knows which jobs Dick is going to inspect. He's looking for perfection - and I was pleased, but not surprised when he emerged from under our home saying this job was about as perfect as perfect could get.
I wish I had a good story regarding the city inspector who arrived to sign off on the retrofit, but I don't. The inspector had a nasty attitude and refused to go under the house to inspect the retrofit because he didn't want to get his clothes dirty. He was angry with me for not lining the underneath of our home. He was angry because the contractors weren't there. (they are not required to be and in fact usually aren't). He was upset I didn't have a professional grade flashlight for him and he was less then professional or polite.
The inspector turned on his heels to leave, never having even looked under the house at all, saying he couldn't inspect the job because it wasn't ready. I immediately called Steve who answered (of course) told him briefly what was happening and gave the phone to the Inspector, who was not professional at all, again.
Another appointment for inspection had to be made. This time Steve was not going to allow what had happened to happen again. Though he was swamped with other jobs he and his assistant Aaron.drove to our home and waited the entire time of the 'window' the city gave us. When this same Inspector arrived Steve and Aaron made sure he inspected the retrofit. Of course it was cleared immediately and it was signed off as a job well done.
However, now this inspector wanted to come in our house to make sure our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms were up to 2014 code. He had a city document for me to sign. Well, after the way he treated me, there was no way he was welcome in our home. And while I knew our alarms were up to code when installed, I wasn't aware if the 2014 codes had changed. I told him I wouldn't sign the paper until I had checked this out. The inspector was seething made.
Just how mad I had yet to discover. A few days later, after making sure our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were up to current code, I signed the paper and Aaron came to our home to pick it up. Saving me a trip. Alpha Structural then faxed everything to this inspector and awaited his sign off.
That wait turned into almost 7 weeks of this inspector refusing to log the job into his computer as done. The office staff at Alpha Structural ended up sending this inspector all the paperwork three times. They left calls and emails. Steve went down to his office at the Department of Building and Safety. I've never experienced a company so committed to their customers. Alpha Structural had done everything right and then some. This delay seemed to be a personal issue the Inspector had with me for not allowing him in our home. (His supervisor will be receiving a strongly worded letter from my wife and me).
As Christmas loomed and offices were shutting down, Kyle and Steve made our sign off by the city their number one priority. They'd had enough of dealing with this particular Inspector and went directly to the three supervisors above him. Finally, it was one of the Supervisors who looked at the paperwork, saw all was filled out properly, and logged the job as cleared by the city. This was December 24!!!! When Kyle and Steve needed to be on other jobs, when they were looking forward to being with their families, they stayed on the city until our job was finished.
Thank you seems very inadequate for amazing efforts of this company on our behalf. The only regret my wife and I have is that Alpha Structural doesn't do the other jobs we have waiting to be performed on our house. If they did, they would be the only company we'd hire.

"The price was significantly less than other bids we received, Nick and his crew were punctual, professional, clean and fast. He answered all of my questions and explained the process clearly. His crew came a few weeks before installation to spray the backyard to kill all of the weeds. After that, installation took 4 days, including removal of a sapling that came with the house. The yard looks great, and we have not had any problems with the sprinkler system. They even took care of the first mowing. I would highly recommend Nick and Vega Landscaping."

"Adrian got the work done fast and it turned out really well. He was able to clean up my yard that was a mess, haul out soil, haul in new soil, add a weed barrier, and install the sod in a couple days. He was able to work with the existing sprinkler system."

Drain Pipe Installation FAQs, answered by experts

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

Yes—your local septic company can clean your septic leach lines with a sewer jetter, a device that pumps high-pressure water through the lines to blast out any clogs and scum buildup. Unless there’s a clog or blockage in the lines, however, you do not need to perform this maintenance regularly. Do not attempt to clean your own leach lines, as you could easily damage them, leading to very costly repairs.

It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there’s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out.
