"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

Septic tanks naturally have bacteria that break down some of the solid waste in the septic tank. However, sludge buildup is just part of owning a septic system. While liquid wastewater can be filtered and treated through the system, a septic tank company has to pump the septic tank out at least every few years.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

Options include submersible, jet, and centrifugal pumps. Choose based on water needs and well depth.

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.
