"At the time I made the appointment I told I could pay by credit card however after they were done I was told I had to pay by check or cash. I called the following day to express my displeasure and to point out that not everyone has an extra $325.00 available at any given time. I spoke with one of the owners. He refused to even acknowledge they were in the wrong and instead made excuses as to why his employee couldnâ t use my WiFi to accept the credit card payment. He was extremely rude and very condescending. Instead of apologizing for their miscommunication he actually hung up on me. It appears as if this is another company that had its good reputation built by the father but has now been taken over by his spoiled son who has zero business sense and horrible customer service. I would not recommend them."

"Got ripped off...do not use this company without an estimate, remember companies can get anyone to write a review to say how great they are, last week they charged $839.00 for a simple plastic 1/2" pipe repair in Fenwick, De. I was not there, my daughter was. So be warned - part of the bill said $360 - to lay down drop cloth, open hole in drywall, and sweep up.

"Late on a Friday, we experienced a leaking water line behind the fridge- and the shutoff valve was broken. Sussex plumbing promised to come out, showed up on time, promptly fixed the leak and did a quick repair on the shutoff valve. They planned to come out the day before we were to get a new refrigerator to replace the faulty valve and did not charge for this urgent repair at that time. Instead Sam told us Cindy would give us a quote the following Monday that would include the urgent repair and the work required for the replacement valve. Sam showed up on time, did a fantastic job, and was very professional. The price for both jobs was extremely reasonable. We will never use a different plumber for any plumbing job we need done. Thank you for the great work!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic perc test is done by drilling a hole into the ground, filling the hole with water, and testing to see how long it drains. While simple, the test itself provides a great deal of information about your yard. The last thing you want to do is skip a perc test only to discover your yard doesn’t drain sewage effectively.

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.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

If your septic tank is still within its expected lifespan and you need to relocate it on your property, it's possible to do so. However, because the task is so labor-intensive and costly, most homeowners simply choose to abandon the old tank if possible and install a new system in the new location. In either case, hiring a professional installation company will be necessary for the job.
