"My Family In Townsend Needed Their Fountain Cleaned & Running Like New & First State Pond & Fountains Came Through ! Highly Recommend & Have Earned A Constant Customer !!"
"He is very creative and he works with the client to try and make sure they get what they want. If you have a budget, he will work within your budget. If something is wrong, he will come back and take care of it. He is a good guy, good company, he is a local business man and his customer service is very important."
"They do great work. We had another company that gauged us and the pond filters and circulator were always breaking down. Since using Pond Doctor we have no issues. Twice a year maintenance and a beautiful pond that gives us a lot of pleasure."
"My pond is the healthiest it's ever been, I don't know if it's because of backyard ponds, or whatever? But I now have baby fish about 12 of them and I am going to hire them to do my winterization. I got a very professional reminder from backyard ponds in the mail today, and I really appreciate the reminder. Sometimes things like this slip your mind, but it's very nice that they remind you that winter is coming up, and you need to plan for the future. My fish are not expensive, because this is a newly renovated pond. But I'm very happy with the job that they did, and I will recommend them in the future. And I will be using them very soon"
"Their job exceeded my expectations! They were thorough and very professional. Did a great job cleaning up and returning the area to a better condition than it was in when they started. I felt the price was very reasonable!!!"
"Brian and Cindy are a 1-2 punch that literally had me jumping for joy. I was incredibly nervous about re-doing our entire front yard in one large project with a company I had never hired before. They were recommended by a neighbor who has used them over the last five years on two separate houses, so I had some knowledge of their final product, but I was absolutely thrilled with the results and surprised by how easy they made the whole process from beginning to end. I'm a project manager for a living, so I have a tendency to be a "tough customer." Beyond the impeccable customer service: multiple site visits, phone calls, texts, drawings, and both being on-site and hands-on during the actual installation, their prices beat out 4 (highly reputable) local competitors. I never felt nickle-and-dimed. In fact, quite the opposite. They made last-minute adjustments when I made special requests at no additional charge. He even treated my lawn and cut my grass when our normal maintenance folks didn't show up (needless to say, I'm now exploring a maintenance contract with Salt Creek Gardens). In less than a week, several neighbors have stopped by to ask who did the work, and despite torrential downpours, the french drain is keeping the lawn from having its usual pools of standing water. Brian was able to work with a long-time associate to negotiate a better deal for me on some large tree removal. Between the tree removal, solving my water problem, designing and installing 3 new beds, and re-gravling my front, Salt Creek Gardens ended up being the perfect one-stop-shop for all my landscaping needs. I definitely will use them again when it comes time to re-pave my front walk and re-do the back yard. "
"I am a perfectionist who would rather do things herself and know it's done to my exact specifications than to have someone else do it, but, being pregnant and trying to fix a fence at the same time do not mix. Yard Barber came in a saved the day. They were able to convey exactly what I wanted and needed all in a timely fashion. They were respectful of my property and neighbors, the clean up was wonderful. Their personalities and team work were great. May have to use them for other landscaping purposes."
"We have used Sam and Sons Services several times and every time it has been great. They did kitchen electrical work including running a new line for our microwave. The moved and replaced 3 pot lights and patched some drywall. Sam also had to add now breakers and run new electrical lines. We are very pleased with the service."
"Miguel provided excellent and very prompt customer service. He took the time to discuss an unusual situation for my masonry project and provided me very valuable feedback before the project."
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.
The best way to keep a septic tank clean is to hire a local septic tank cleaner to inspect and pump the septic tank every three to five years. Be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and don’t pour grease, oil, fats, coffee grounds, or food scraps into your drains.
Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.
Yes, experts handle manual pumping, chemical flushing, and equipment use properly, ensuring thorough cleaning and legal compliance with disposal regulations.
You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.
