"Within 24 hours of contacting Eric he arrived at my house to service a fountain that was installed by a previous owner of my house and which needed cleaning and pump replacement in order to use. He was great. Definitely recommend."
"Riveras Landscaping LLC Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance I am very impressed with the work of Rivera’s Landscaping. They responded immediately to my request for an estimate for leave clean-up, gutter clean-up, and gutter repair. Edwin arrived promptly the next day. He gave me an estimate that was reasonable and offered to clean the gutters and fix the gutters on the spot that day while arranging for the leave clean-up the following week. He did a great job on both items. I appreciated that Edwin responded to my weather-related concern to get the leave clean-up done earlier. He somehow squeezed me into his busy schedule to avoid the upcoming inclement weather forecast for our arranged day. Edwin maintains great communication so you know what is going on. He did an outstanding job on the leave clean-up blowing, raking, and bagging. My yard was impeccable. He also fixed the mortar missing in my chimney, something he had noticed when he fixed my gutters. Edwin learned that he also does snow removal so I got on his list for that. I am happy to have a reliable and great resource for this winter. If you want meticulous attention to any yard/house task at affordable rates, I highly recommend Rivera’s Landscaping. Dec 21, 2022"
"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is magic. "

"Marvin and his team were exceptionally knowledgeable, neat, creatives and punctual. Marvin was patient and a great listener. I shared my very basic ideas with him and he delivered an amazing final product! He had many suggestions that I hadn’t considered and I will be using his services again in the Spring. I found Marvin to be very fair and honest, considering he’s a one stop shop. The photos are before and after the landscape work completed by Marvin and Company. I HIGHLY recommend Marvin’s Landscaping for landscaping job!"

Roto-Rooter does not charge by the hour, so the quote you get after your in-person consultation should cover the whole project. This includes the time it takes a technician to get to your house and the time it takes to complete the job. For context, a plumber will charge anywhere from $45 to $200 per hour, but you may also pay a service fee or flat fee.
On average, you should call a pro to pump your cesspool once per year. If you have a larger home with a lot of family members, you may need to pump more (up to six times per year). On the flip side, if you’re talking about a cesspool for a home you don’t use much or if you’re the only occupant in a home, you won’t have to pump nearly as much.
Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.
If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.
Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.
