"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!!

"Sam and his team at F3 plumbing were excellent. I recently purchased my home and have had several contractors come out and take a look at plumbing issues, F3 was by far the most straight forward and gave me a great quote. They preformed the work professionally and efficiently. Within a day they were able to come out and look at my plumbing and equipment. I ended up having them fix a leak in my water main line, rod the sewer, replace and upgrade my 50 gallon water heater with a 75 gallon water heater, demo and reinstall a full bathroom with bath tub, tile, and floor replacement (looks brand new beautiful and modern), and install a brand new dishwasher with a new connecting water line. Everything looks great and was professionally installed and they hauled away all of the trash. Great company and highly recommend!"

"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.

"I was having problems with my sump pump and needed service that day. I figured I would try a local company to get faster service. After about four hours, they finally showed up.  The techs stated that it was a busy day.  They took a look at the old sump pump and recommended a new one.  They also told me about their membership service (a monthly fee) that includes an annual water heater check up and special discounts and services.  I went ahead and signed up.  The techs were Dan C. and Paul D. They got right to work and were done in roughly 20 minutes.  The total cost was just under $1,000. It was a little more than what I was expecting to pay but they did a really good job.  They also mentioned that they do other plumbing work as well so I will definitely use them next time I need the services. Great job guys!

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

Most professionals recommend that a deep well pump shouldn’t run more than 10 hours consecutively before cycling off. Overworking the well pump beyond the recommended amount can prematurely wear out your pump and burn out the motor, which means replacing it more often than you otherwise should need to. Your well pump should also come with the manufacturer’s use and maintenance recommendations that are specific to the model.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

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.
