"I called Pohlman to replace my Gas water heater. I was very pleased with their service. They were very professional, came out on the same day, took the old tank with them and cleaned up well behind themselves, They finish the job in a timely manner and their price was fair. I would definitely hire them again."

"The plumber was scheduled to come on 4/23 between 1:00 and 3:00p.m. At 1:00p.m. I got a call saying that the plumber would not be able to come until 4/24 as he was delayed at a previous call. He arrived promptly at 9:00a.m. the next morning. One toilet would not flush properly. He repaired that toilet. The other toilet ran on occasion. He replaced the fill valve. On occasion it still runs."

"**To everyone** This is the plumber you want to call !!! Typical FANTASTIC service call from "Knock You Plumb Out Plumbing". Our family was dead in the water, plumbing wise. We could not flush a toilet. Water was rising everywhere and all drains were gurgling. John Harris (owner), and a 2-man crew arrived 30 minutes after I sent a "Help!" E-mail to him. I could not believe he got to my home so quickly. John and his crew went to work diagnosing the problem. John started removing the plug on one end of my sewer system and found that my entire sewer system was under tremendous pressure due to all of the plunging I was doing. Before he started taking any more pipes apart in the basement, he asked if I had a septic system. I told him that I did and he said that my septic tank was probably full. John went out back, took the lid off of my septic system and found that the tank was almost completely full! Thanks to John, I then knew what the problem was and it was an easy fix. I had a septic cleaning company come out within a couple hours, and my house was back to normal. Thanks again John. This was the second time in 3 months he helped me out and I could not be happier. This guy is my only plumber?forever!

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.

Normally, when your well pump turns on or off, you’ll hear a small click. This isn’t anything to worry about, but it can be a problem if it’s clicking continuously. This can indicate that the well pump is short cycling—the pump continuously turns on and off.

This can wear out the motor and provide uneven water flow. If this happens, you may need to get it looked at by a well pump professional to see if you need to repair the switch or pump.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.
