"Mac's Plumbing is wonderful. The prices are lower than the competition and the work was exceptional. Mario cleared out our main sewer line which resolved minor issues before they became major ones. I would recommend Mac's Plumbing to everyone. Go here before a business like Roto-Rooter. Thank you Mario Garcia. I was wonderful doing business with your. Fast and efficient."

"I specified that it was a tankless water heater, yet not surprisingly I was referred to a plumber who didn't know anything about tankless heaters, resulting in a waste of a couple of days. The second person did know about them, and so far the repair is working (fingers crossed). I wish CHW would pay attention to the details in my claim."

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

"I recently hired VMG Plumbing to complete several repairs at my home, and I could not be more impressed with the experience. From the very beginning, Bineto demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. He not only addressed the issues I was aware of, but also identified several defects left behind by the builder and took the time to explain practical solutions to improve the overall plumbing system in my home. I decided to move forward with all of his recommendations, and I am extremely glad I did. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and everything was completed with care, precision, and professionalism. It is clear that Bineto takes great pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and highly skilled plumber, I wholeheartedly recommend VMG Plumbing. I would not hesitate to use their services again and will gladly refer them to my friends, family, and anyone in need of top-qu"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.

Never use Drano on blocked toilets. You can end up with a ghastly leak because the chemicals eat away at the glue that holds pipes together just as effectively as they do with clogs. Drano is known for being particularly rough on toilets, which is why some plumbers actually dislike the product. 

The average three to four-bedroom home typically uses a well pump rated for 8 to 12 gallons per minute (GPM). To find the most accurate size for your specific needs, a common rule of thumb is to count the number of water fixtures and appliances in your home and aim for that number in GPM. This calculation allows for about one gallon of water per minute per fixture. Because estimating the correct size can be challenging, it's best to have a professional technician make the final determination. A professional can ensure your pump provides sufficient water for your home, especially during peak usage hours.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.

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.
