"I had a pipe burst in my house a few weeks ago. Will came and gave me an estimate and knew what the problem was. When. He fixed it as soon as we scheduled and was done quick and efficient. A week later my hot water heater finally gave out and Will was there same day I called and installed a brand new one. I couldn’t have asked for a better plumber. On top of all that he beat competitors prices. I highly recommend Will and Coker Plumbing. I will be referring him to anyone that needs a plumber. Thank you for your excellent work."

All that hard work and all I hope is you take a day off soon to rest! And our Grandson was through the roof watching you on the "excubator"!"

"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'm a local realtor and found Kelson Plumbing LLC from HomeAdvisor.com. Mr Kelson was prompt to return my call, and let me to text him a picture of the Leak problem location (I was an hour and 1/2 away from the home) to get an estimate of repair for my Seller (who is out of state) and did the work the next day. Great Service! I will call this company again and refer him to my customers."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.

A septic tank is an underground container that collects and holds wastewater until it’s sufficiently filtered and broken down. It treats wastewater by separating waste so the leftover liquid can travel into the drainfield where the soil and gravel eventually filter and purify it. This process naturally eliminates bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage. 

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

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.
