We were having low water pressure so we called J & C well and drilling to come and check it out. They came out on a Saturday and gave us a quote. He came back out on Monday and replaced the well pump.  Our well is hard to get to so it was not an easy job. We also had a leak in our tank so we had him replace it. He did a great job! Very professional and kind! If we  need a plumber we would call him again!

"I want to thank Mr. And Mrs. (member name removed) first sincerely for awarding J & C the privilege of addressing the well problems they was having! I appreciate the patience shown us in troubleshooting an repairing a system that had multiple symptoms an a couple of different issues. In which ultimately we was able to repair so there should be no issues for years to come. Secondly thank you so much for taking the time to make such a great review! I realize all to well it's a blessing when our customer by choice takes the time to express their thoughts an experience of an with J & C. I hope you never need our services again.

I started a holiday weekend with my grinder pump alarm sounding. Pump would run but took a very long time to clear the pit, plumber who put the system in was zero help and refused to even come look at it. He suggested calling the company he subcontracted the install to (which I had forgotten) they came and said it wasn't the pump it was fine, appeared to be a blockage in the outgoing lateral to the pressure main. The bad weekend kept getting worse, city came out and said the main was clear and there was noting they could do. They suggested digging up the lateral and replacing it. Packed up the family and went to the in-laws for the rest of the weekend, found J&C who answered my questions and advised over the phone some things to try. Scheduled a service call for monday am (which for many was a holiday), he had car trouble but came out and is the first person that I've had experience with that knew grinder pumps and was able to determine that whatever the blockage was was gone and that there was no need to dig up the yard and driveway, replace the pump and pit etc. Through no fault of James, I had a bad weekend, but he saved the day and so far the system has continued to work without fail.

I contacted this company because my grinder pump system was overflowing.  They came out the next day and informed me the grinder pump had to be replaced.  Three days later they came with the pump (This was August 2011) ($2500).  They installed the pump and it seemed to be working fine for 4 months.  Then the grinder pump alarm went off again and the system started to overflow again.  I contacted them and even though they stated 24 hour emergency service, they refused to come out to my residence.  The next day they came to my house and they stated it need another part.  They ordered that part and two days later (cost $350).  After about a week the alarm went off again.  I tried to contact them a couple times and could get no response.  I then contacted the Sewage Treatment plant that installed the system and recommended another company.  That company came out and the second part they put in they put in backwards, the base of the pump they installed was cracked, and they put a   rubber hose on the end of a pipe that was pressurized.  Needless to say, I wouuld never recommend this company to anyone.
Response from J & C Well Drilling, Pump & Plumbing
"This Particular Sewage sytem was very old. We had to track dowm the Correct pump to install. We acquired the pump as fast as posible and installed the pump. Other issues existed with the system and an estimate given to customer for the repair. Customer called couple weeks later and hired us for the repair did the repair which kept the sewage from the pressurized system from coming back in the pit. A check valve. in order to install had to deal with sewage coming in pit while repair is being done. The Rubber Fernco the Customer refers to is a 11/4" and is used on high pressure sysytems in many situations. A common part for Any prerssure sytem we noticed no signs of a crack in the system. or would have repaired or definately informed the customer of further steps that would been needed. J & C would have done repair for the customer. But customer did not call us for a chance to diagnose or repair. J & C is a 24 hour emergency service company. But even though Sometimes we can not be at a customers quickly, but customer is informed of this ahead. Customer had other estimates to repair system, and all was a new system at a much higher cost than customer has accrued on the replacement pump installed by J & C. I simply have to say it was an old grinder system with other needed repairs that occured. J & C apologizes for not being able to respond on the one occasion promptly, but did as soon as possible. But J & C does not understand why customer did not call us or leave a voicemail concerning anorther problem with the system, not the pump we replaced but the piping for the system. We really would have loved to have done the neccesary repair. Also J & C feels it has lived up to our work and material. J & C also is deeply disturbed by such a report. Our track records shows much different!!! J & C is sure this could have possibly ended better if we had the chance to diagnose an repair said crack. These circumstances pertain to this: when a repair is done to a system or pump replaced we can not be responsible for other problems that develpoe down the road with the complete system that does not pertain to said repair or replacement. there obviously was another repair needed per customers report. J & C would have gladly done the repair neccesary. We still stand by the manufacturer warranty for the pump replaced! I am truly sorry for any inconveniences the customer feels we are responsible for by not being available one occasion but was there soon as possible. J & C regrets that a customer of ours feels this way and reports so negatively of J & C. I assure J & C has many years experience in Grinder Repairs an Replacements. And will comtinue to offer our services at a reasonable price with quality material as well as craftmanshiip.. Sincerely, James"

He was so punctual! Saved us money. Accomplished what needed to be accomplished and left. I referred him less than hour later to a friend, who was happy too.

The two reps from Crystal Clear - Mr. Kimes, and I'm sorry I didn't obtain the second gentleman's name, were very polite, patient in explaining what needed to be done and what had occurred, and were very conscious of minimizing the mess made within the house. They arrived at about 1130am. The job was finished about 430pm. They fully explained to me what to do after 24 hours to remove the chlorine smell from the water. The repairs were done 4 days ago. Everything appears to be working smoothly since their departure. Two pieces of curious activity: 1. They arrived in a large sedan with a full trunk and almost full back seat (the company truck was awaiting mechanic work by Mr Kimes at the end of the day). 2. When payment was rendered, at the request of Mr. Kimes, the owner I was asked to make the check out to him directly instead of the the company name. He provided identification without hesitation. Both were very cordial and understanding; I'd call them again.

He came quickly in response to an urgent situation. He seemed to have the equipment and the knowledge to take care of it. They were both polite and cleaned up well. They would inspire more confidence if they paid a little more attention to personal appearance. Both looked ''scruffy.''

I PHONED THEIR OFFICE IN THE AFTERNOON AND SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE WORKERS ARRIVED ON TIME AND THEY FINISHED THE JOB WITHIN 40 MINUTES. THEY WERE COURTEOUS AND THE COST WAS COMPARABLE TO OTHER COMPANIES. I ALSO REQUESTED AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE SEWER LINE AND THAT WAS PROVIDED BEFORE THEY LEFT. GOOD EXPERIENCE OVERALL BUT THEY DID LEAVE BEHIND THE ROOTS AND A LITTLE SPLASH ON THE SIDING.

KIND OF SHAKY AT FIRST. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND THOUGH I DID NOT OBSERVE ALL THE STEPS THEY KEPT US INFORMED. I HAVE NO STANDARD OF COMPARISON AS TO JOB PERFORMANCE, BUT I WAS TREATED WELL BY THE TEAM LEADER AND GOT THROUGH UPDATES ON THE WORK. PROBABLY PAID A BIT MORE THAN STANDARD, BUT WORK WAS DONE CORRECTLY.

I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING A COMPANY TO THAT WOULD TAKE PAYMENTS. THIS COMPANY TOOK A CHANCE ON GOOD PEOPLE. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY GOT BACK TO WORK AFTER 8 MONTHS OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE $1600 (AT ONE TIME) TO REPAIR OUR SEWER LINE. THANKS TO THE MEN AT CRYSTAL CLEAR WE GOT THE JOB DONE!! THEY WERE FRIENDLY AND REALLY WANTED TO HELP US GET THE JOB DONE. I GAVE A 50% DEPOSIT AND SPLIT THE REST UP IN 3 PAYMENTS. THEY GOT TO WORK RIGHT AWAY. THEY WERE ON TIME AND VERY COURTEOUS. THEY WERE GREAT!!
