"David and helper Josiah (training and soon to be expert!) were very professional and friendly. They came out to give an estimate for removing tank water heater and installing tankless electric water heater. David was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my many questions. The estimate was detailed and explained perfectly. They showed up on time, did a perfect job and left the area perfectly clean. David explained to me how everything worked and again, answered all my questions. David and Josiah were friendly and even nice to my little dog, who barked at them until she realized they were "friends". David even gave her a treat! All you "dog people" know that is special. I highly recommend Palm Springs Plumbing for any job you need done! Oh and the lady in the office was so very nice, as well. Can't forget that, though I am sorry, I forgot her name."

For over 30 years the Amos family has owned and operated Amos Pump Service in Cumming, GA. Originally started in 1974, by JW Amos, Amos Pump Service has grown to be the area's leader in a variety of pump service needs including installation and servicing. Now, owned and operated by his son, Billy Amos, the family tradition of excellent quality, service and 100% customer satisfaction continues. Our company is locally owned and operated. We are a member of the Better Business Bureau. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards for payment.

"As a repeat customer, I can say that Billy never fails to deliver great customer service at a great price. He is honest and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our sewage exit drain pipe after record rain. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it. After the hole was dug he also noticed what could be another issue and upon further uncovering, he was 100% correct. Our pipe was semi disconnected just a bit further down the line. Taking care of that problem too while the hole was open saved us money and headaches! Our system is up and running well and the price was more than fair. If you want an honest, knowledgeable contractor, hire Amos!"

24 hour emergency service. Accepting Visa, Master Card, Discover & American Express.

"Used this company to pump out my septic tank, came out and pretty much charged me $1400 to not do a job at all.... withing 2 days of "pumping my tank clean" the tank was back full and looked like it never was emptied. I had 2 other people look at it and they also said it wasn't pumped emptied, nor was my filter changed or cleaned... called 3 times to fix the issue and asked for the boss or manager to call me but he never did. Doug (my tech) finally called me to try and fix the issue but it just seemed as if they wanted to just pacify the problem like it was just how it works when 2 other people told me it wasn't. When they seen I put a complaint on the BBB site they called me and threatened me to take down the complaint or they weren't coming back out to clean the filter THAT THEY DIDNT DO TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!!! This company has no morals nor do they care about their customers! They are out to just screw people out of their hard earned money. DONT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU!!!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Food grease, soap buildup, paper products, and tree roots often cause serious clogs.

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
