"Very professional and courteous.  Cleaned up after their work.  It was the best experience I have ever had with a plumber.  They are locally owned and very responsive - unlike some of the very large companies.  The pricing was reasonable and they worked with me on the options of which replacement tank to use.

"As a landlord I have had my fair share of plumbing issues.  I am particularly pleased with the service I receive from John owner of Knock You Plumb Out Plumbing.  John has replaced sewer lines for me along with other plumbing problems.  I have even referred John to friends, something I normally am hesitant to do because I don?t want to be involved if there are problems with the quality of the work.  But with Knock You Plumb Out Plumbing I am confident of quality work and service.  I highly recommend John.

"Ray phoned me prior to arrival letting me know that he would be delayed for scheduled appointment which I really appreciated. He checked the sump pump and drainage system to determine if it was working properly. He determined that the line needed to be jetted and sump pump pit cleaned out due to the presence of debris in the pit. He returned and completed the cleaning of system and found a blockage in the basement stairwell drain. I am planning to have Bailey's Plumbing to remove the blockage and correct the problem. I thankful to have a plumber whom I feel I can trust. Ray kept me informed as he performed the jetting of the the French drains to see the debris and see the air rippling into the sump pump pit. He also showed and explained where the blockage was and how it affected the flow of water from my stairwell area. He gave the free estimates within a timely fashion and I felt he did not use any hard sell dialogue to influence my decision to hire him to complete the work.👍"

"They called me right away once I submitted the request through Home Advisor and arrived the next day. Work was done quickly. My questions were answered and they will remind me in three years to have my septic cleaned again. Can't ask for more than that! Not sure of the value for the money, did not price around."

"We needed our water heater replaced. It was somewhat complicated because we wanted to upgrade the tank in size, but we had limited room for it. There was some back and forth in finding the appropriate tank, but the salesperson and technicians were very pleasant to work with throughout the whole process. When the pipes were moved and the tank was installed, it was done efficiently and professionally. We are very happy with our experience and the final product."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tank odors can happen because of a few different issues with your septic system, such as a full tank, clogged drains, or blocked venting systems. Not only is a smelly septic tank pretty unpleasant, but it can also pose a potential hazard to yourself and your home. Toxic fumes could be hanging around, or untreated wastewater could be harming the environment.

You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Baking soda does very little to nothing for a septic tank, but it can help unclog a drain or clean out a garbage disposal. Rotten tomatoes and yeast are the best ways to increase the bacteria in your septic tank naturally. You can add these to your system once every three months.

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.
