"My sink had clogged again, 2nd time in two weeks. 1st plumber said my piping was at the wrong angle and would need to be fixed. So this time when it clogged again, I had this company come. Very nice plumber checked pipes, gave me a price quote, and then said if it were him, he would have the pipes cleaned by Jetstream. He didn't charge me a thing! I had to call around, but finally found someone to Jetstream it which worked great!"

"**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!

"Mr Washington personally examined my old concrete driveway, measured its size, calculated the price estimate based on the square foot area of the project, and provided a senior discount. He described the work in detail. He answered questions by email. He came with two workers on schedule to break up the old concrete driveway and haul away the pieces. The next day the same group graded the base of the driveway, placed a wood frame around the edge of the driveway, and directed the concrete pour from a sub-contractor's cement mixer truck, The first three workers spread the concrete while a fourth worker flattened the concrete to the top of the frame. The surface of the concrete became level near the garage and had a gentle slope to the bottom of the driveway. The next day, Washington Boyz cleaned up to lawn, removed the wood frame, and put down some topsoil and grass seeds next to the new concrete. Since the sub-contractor cement mixer operator dumped some excess cargo on the lawn after the cement was poured for the driveway, Washington Boyz had to break up the dried concrete from the lawn and clean up the pieces. Before they left, I was told not to use the new driveway for at least one more day to let the concrete cure and they put yellow tape over the bottom of the driveway to keep the driveway from being used. The final price was the same as the estimate and I was very pleased with the work that was done."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it’s generally safe for septic systems. It won’t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

While not strictly necessary for your septic system to operate, septic tank risers are a highly beneficial and wise choice for homeowners. They provide easy access to your tank, which makes regular maintenance, inspections, and addressing issues significantly easier and less labor-intensive. By eliminating the need for repeated excavation to locate the tank, risers can save you money, labor, and energy in the long run. This easy access allows you to proactively manage your septic system, addressing potential problems before they become costly and ensuring the system's longevity. Additionally, some local regulations may require risers, and installing them can help you avoid potential fines or penalties.

Frozen well pipes make themselves known quickly, as your faucets slow down to a trickle or shut down completely. If you notice a serious reduction in flow in the winter from toilets, showers, kitchen faucets, and other plumbing fixtures, a frozen pipe or two is to blame. Another tell-tale sign is frost or ice on exposed pipes outside. 

The cost of sump pump installation varies depending on factors like the type of sump pump, labor rates, and the complexity of the installation. On average, you can expect to pay around $1,200 for a standard sump pump install. However, the cost may be higher if additional features like a backup system or extensive drainage work are required.
