"Lenny was phenomenal. He showed up at my condo within an hour of the initial call, right away diagnosed the problem, and then fixed it and even cleaned up my tub and surrounding area afterwards. Super professional and efficient. Deadass give him a raise! He's easily the best plumber I've ever worked with."

"Prompt courteous professional
Thank goodness that Roto rooter never showed up!
This was half of what I was expecting. In addition just to complain about Roto
Rooter- they misrepresented there charges (called me back and demanded 100$
For service call because I mentioned a transient sewer smell after heavy brains a week ago)
Also said they would clean catch basin and then states they no longer do this.
Great work by Lincoln sewer and drain!

"The awesomeness started within a couple hours of purchasing my deal. Matt reached out to clarify a misprint in the deal, and assure I still wanted to go through with the deal. He was able to to schedule me at a time that worked with my busy schedule.
Darryl and Mike arrived right on time, first thing in the morning. I had originally purchased a hot water tank replacement deal. During the old tank removal, it was discovered that my ejector pump was not working. The crew was equipped to replace that at a reasonable price as well. They worked quick and professionally and had all the work completed in a timely manner. They made sure to have tarps available to protect my floors when moving the tanks in and out. The crew had such pleasant personalities, and I could tell they enjoyed what they were doing.
I highly recommend M&E Plumbing for any work you may need!!

"Showed up a few hours after calling,  plumber put on shoe covers to not track dirt into house.  Investigates issue with pump, to figure out problem.  He had all neccesary parts, equipmnet including pump in the truck and had the pump working in a timely mannor.  took the time to clean up.  Fernando was very friendly, curtious, and professional.

I had also used the same company when we had sewage waist back up into our basement,  they came out very quickly and and got it fixed for a resonable price.

"They do plumbing but they also have a service where they will come out and check your furnace or your sump pump or things like that. With them, I don't have a big problem. They fall into that category that when they come out it is always something big, always like an upsell. They always come to check this or maybe you have a clog or need something routed out and they say you have to replace all this. They always have something more that you can go ahead and get and sometimes that just gets, you just want to get done what you need to get done.
I would get more estimates for work, I wouldn't trust their first opinion."

"My name's Kelly, I live in Roselle and when i called Mr.  Rooter my toilet wasn't working (wouldn't flush, water kept running).  The tech they sent out was Manny and he was such a pleasure to deal with!  He inspected the toilet and since it was a older push button toilet he said they'd have to order the pieces and actually take the toilet to repair.   Manny explained all my options and pricing,
I rent so I kept waiting to hear from my landlord (no call back) so I sent him away and told him I'd call back with my decision, before even calling Mr. Rooter I had waited a day to hear from my landlord and NO luck, so I didn't want to wait any longer.  I made the decision myself!  He wasn't even gone 30 minutes I called him back to replace it.  He showed right back up, we chose a toilet- I went with the most basic white toilet and he went out and bought it.  Installation went fast, when he was done he went thru the whole house and did a free inspection of all plumbing.  I was very happy with my service call and my son was happy too cause Manny so nicely gave him 4 magnets to keep!

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Yes, it is generally okay to oversize a well pressure tank, and it will not harm your well system. The primary advantage is that a larger tank reduces frequent pump cycling, leading to longer, slower cycles with fewer startups. This can result in less wear and tear, potentially increasing the lifespan of the pump and conserving energy. However, there are drawbacks to consider. Oversized tanks have a higher upfront cost and require more physical space. While not necessarily a bad thing, opting for a tank that is appropriately sized for your well is often the most efficient choice in terms of cost and space.

Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.

The efficacy of a drain field depends on a wide variety of factors, though a well-maintained one can last as long as 40 or 50 years. Of the different types of septic tanks on the market, concrete and plastic tanks tend to last the longest—upwards of 40 years if they’re pumped regularly—while steel tanks have a tendency to rust over time and may need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years.
