"We just bought a house on a private well and started noticing rust stains and a foul odor right away. The house came with an old softener, but it didn't seem to be working anymore. We got a few quotes for a system that would treat well water and decided to use Chicago Water Pros. Their tech was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. The price was very reasonable compared to the other quotes that we got, and they had a way better warranty and money back guarantee than anyone else by far. We bought a tank for iron treatment and a softener. The guy that came out to test our water and do the quote was there for the installation and came back out to re-test the water and make sure everything was working properly a few days after the install as well. We couldn't be happier with the water and the great service and price that we got. I'd recommend them to anyone!"

"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!!

"Short review:  They're awesome!  Quick, fair, excellent work.  Longer Review:  I've used Max and Joe twice now - both very expensive undertakings.  My house was built in the 1940s and all the piping is in a crawl space (a plumbers dream!).  I had been replacing pipes as they broke with various plumbers.  I knew eventually they'd all have to be replaced, but I didn't feel confident with any of the plumbers I'd had for such a large investment.  Until Max came out..  He explained about the pipes, gave me an estimate on what HAD to be fixed, and also estimated replacing all.  I felt very confident he knew his business and was giving a fair price.  All the water pipes were replaced quickly and efficiently, along with the hot water tank.  About a year later, I had a furnace issue and Nicor also detected a leak in a gas pipe at a connection point.  Again, Max and Joe came out and gave me a price for what HAD to be replaced, along with an estimate for replacing all the gas pipes that would likely be leaking in the near future (due to the age and corrosion of them).  I elected to have all the gas pipes replaced and again, this was done quickly and efficiently.  They worked with Nicor to ensure everything was satisfactory and get the gas turned back on.  They respond immediately, assess the needed repairs, and get to work - doesn't seem to matter what day of the week it is.

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If there’s a problem with your sewage system, you might notice water pooling on the ground around the tank, which could indicate an overflow. Clogged and sluggish drains or foul smells coming from your plumbing are also signs that there might be a blockage in your septic system.

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

If your septic tank is still within its expected lifespan and you need to relocate it on your property, it's possible to do so. However, because the task is so labor-intensive and costly, most homeowners simply choose to abandon the old tank if possible and install a new system in the new location. In either case, hiring a professional installation company will be necessary for the job. 

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.
