"If I could give a negative rating, I would. These guys are complete crooks and I would caution anyone considering hiring them. I recognized their name online when I was looking for a plumber, which I suspect is how they get most of their business. My water heater had stopped work and my normal plumber was on vacation, so I called them. They gave me a 3 hour window to come this past Saturday. 20 minutes past the end of their window, they had still not shown up, so I called. The person I talked to said she could not get in touch with dispatch and would send them an email to call me. An hour later, still nothing, and I called and got the same run around. Yet another hour later, still the same thing. Finally I get a call that says that the plumber who had been assigned did not have the tools or qualifications, so they would reschedule me for the next morning. REALLY????? The next morning they arrive and take a look at the water heater, which is less than a year old by the way, and tell me that to fix it they would have to order an assortment of parts that would take a look time to arrive, so that I would be better of replacing the whole thing. When I ask him how much that would be, he starts telling me all of the things that need to be fixed to "bring it up to code" and gives me a price of $3,900!!!! FOR A FRIGGIN' WATER HEATER??? I told the guy to get out of my house and got in touch with a plumber from the neighborhood. He came out the next day and was able to complete the relatively easy fix, for $475. NEVER CALL LEN THE PLUMBER, EVER!!!"

We have 19+ years of plumbing experience to service in residential clients. We are drain cleaning specialists. We have extensive experience performing repairs on different piping systems, snaking drains, fixing leaks, and installing pipes and water heaters. We provide free estimate.

"Hot water issue. Technician gave estimate for hot water tank replacement of 8 year old lightly used tankless. In light of the phenomenol price tag, did some homework. Hit the reset button. Fixed. Hmmmm. Maybe it was the tankless that confused him. Really glad it was a free estimate (unlike Len's who charged me $315 and didn't fix it)."

"They charged $98 to come give me an estimate for swapping our a shower valve cartridge, which was fine, but the pricing they provided was completely unreasonable, $1,000. They were unwilling to provide any detail for the price. I ended up buy the part myself for $30 and replaced it in 30 minutes."

"Gary, the plumber, actually arrived EARLY for the appointment! As he worked, he explained the options in detail, and clearly explained the limitations of the warranty on the work. He quickly replaced the cartridge in our bathtub faucet, which solved the problem. He cleaned up afterwards, and asked it I had any questions before he left. I thought the price was reasonable. Would use again."

Septic tank services FAQs

Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.

The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.

A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.

Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
