"So, it's noon, I have 25 people coming to my house for dinner and my kitchen sink gets clogged.  Oh, by the way, it's freaking Thanksgiving!!!!
I scan Angie's List and a few other rating services and come across several well-rated plumbers.  A few frantic phone calls later (voice mail on the first three calls) and I stumble upon Jon.  He picks up the phone (what a surprise!) and tries to walk me through a fix over the phone.  After five minutes of back-and-forth, Jon finally says, "I'm can be over in twenty minutes."
Now, I'm not really in a position to negotiate and I figure it's going to be crazy expensive.  Jon shows up, on-time, dressed like he is heading to a family dinner, which I'm assuming he was.
An hour later, the sink is draining and Jon is cleaning up after making me promise to never peel potatoes into the disposal again.  He then gives me the bill.  Not only did he not charge me an outrageous price, but I've paid substantially more for a plumber on a Tuesday afternoon at 1:00pm for less work.
I can't speak to all the reviews on his work, but I would venture to guess that there isn't one other plumber on the planet earth that would have taken care of a first-time customer like Jon did today.  He is the best plumber in the Chicagoland area, in my humble opinion.

"Took one day to replace the basement laterals with new copper pipes. Took a second day to fix boiler -- which ended up needing a new recirculating pump, costing an unexpected additional $900. Overall, the guys were professional and knew what they were doing. The quality of work looked good, they worked quickly and efficiently, and my water pressure throughout the house is a lot better now! Their price is definitely not the cheapest around, but their quality, expertise, scheduling, and responsiveness were all top notch, so I'd give them a very high rating.

"It was a great deal and I'm glad we had it done. The crew did the assigned work quickly and efficiently, reporting the results to me and answering my questions about other work. They offered me an alternative for rodding the waste stacks and we are considering it. There was no heavy pressure, just good information and description. It's more expensive than what we are doing now but the technique looked interesting so I will pursue and get back to them. Even if we don't do the hydroblasting we may still use this company for the rest of our work."

"I highly recommend The Scottish Plumber. I was treated with courtesy and respect throughout the entire process, and found they went above and beyond and performed high-quality work and service. Jack and Tom came to diagnose the issues and give me the best possible plan of action. Because of my budget, they came back and re-evaluated to determine what the next-best options were and what could be saved for a second phase. Homer, Bernie and Sergio O. came out for multiple days of hard, messy work - much of it in the rain. They were on time, communicative, and answered all the questions I had throughout the process. Best of all, they completed the work and did it really well. I have had terrible experiences in the past, to say the least, and was very nervous throughout this process - but these guys did right by me and my home, and I will be a loyal customer for it."

"Called Saturday morning after my sump pump malfunctioned, fortunately it was not raining. Matt answered, asked about the problem and then said he could out in a couple hours. Less than 2 hours Matt arrived, assessed the situation and replaced my old pump with a new pump. In less than a half hour later the new pump was installed and working as expected. Everything went smoothly and efficiently. Very pleased with the responsiveness. Will look to M & E Plumbing for all future plumbing needs."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

With regular servicing and general upkeep, both a well pump and pressure tank can last for years. The average lifespan of a well pump is around eight to 15 years. A well pressure tank can last from seven to 10 years. How long a well pump and pressure tank lasts also depends on a variety of factors such as type, size, material, and brand.

A well pressure tank is located between the well and the well pump, and it stores your water under pressure so that the well pump can eventually do its job. The well pump is activated whenever you turn a faucet on—it pulls the water from the tank into your home. Both are vital parts of a complete well water system.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.

The cost to fix low water pressure heavily depends on the cause of the problem. In some cases, all you need to do is open a valve, which won't cost you anything. However, plumbing repairs cost an average of $325, so if you have a broken pipe or other plumbing problems, you might pay something close to that figure, or more, depending on the issue.
