"Modern came out quickly and pumped our septic tanks, giving us a discount for having 2 tanks on our property. They identified baffle wall issues with both tanks and recommended 2 septic repair companies (one which we used). Very fast and courteous employees."

"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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.

Choosing a reliable septic tank company starts by finding an experienced company in your area with positive customer reviews online. You can also use the following tips to help ensure you have a positive experience:

  • Choose a company that is licensed and fully insured

  • Ask the company for customer references

  • Ask if the company provides any guarantee for the repair

  • Determine the provider’s level of experience

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.

Several signs can indicate a faulty well pump pressure switch. These include your pump running continuously, the pump not turning on at all, or a sudden and complete loss of water. Other symptoms are weak water pressure or an erratic, unpredictable water flow from your fixtures. If you notice these issues, the pressure switch may be the cause. Testing the switch can help diagnose the problem. A faulty switch will likely need to be repaired or replaced. If the issue is more complex, it's best to consult a professional well technician to ensure your water supply is restored correctly.
