"I paid them to clean my catch basin, however, was not able to clean the whole thing because of pipes on the way. I still ended up paying for the whole price. With the sewer going to the road, they could not go further because of an existing backup sewer door. I had to pay extra for them to rod from the backup sewer door to the road."

"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!!

"I called two plumbers on a Monday and Maria at Essential Plumbing called me back right away.  She said that she could have her plumber out that day, later in the evening to accommodate my work schedule.  Fernando showed up right on time at 6:30pm and looked at the clogged disposal.  He tried to run the rooter but it wouldn't snake through so he checked the pipes in the basement.  He determined that the pipes had been replaced fairly recently but incorrectly, as it was perfectly even, when it should have been pitched to allow gravity to push the water and food down.  He said he could come back Thursday to replace the two pipes for around $800.  I also asked him to look at my shower that was clogged at the same time.  
I got a quote the next day for $1080 for all of the work done, including Mondays visit and booked him for Weds.  He arrived at 11am, worked til 3:30pm and it was all done quietly, cleanly and quickly.  The pipes were totally jammed with food and needed replacement badly.  Fernando explained very clearly what the issue was and what he had done to fix it.  He was very courteous and considerate.  He also unclogged the shower drain very quickly.
I would certainly call him in the future.

"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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue. 

They can if they’re not installed correctly or if the caps or covers were dislodged by a lawn mower or other yard equipment. This is why it pays to hire a reputable septic tank company that’s experienced in septic tank installation and maintenance. You should also check caps and covers often to see that they’re in place and take measures to tighten or secure them, provided it is safe to do so.
