"Thank goodness for Mastero Edgar, his family and Crew! It was a dark and stormy night in Feb 2021, icy yard and flooded basement. We had cleared our septic tank 3 months prior and the basement flooded with clean water! We had hired a plumbing company 2 nights in a row...no clear answers despite hours of work!! Then I reached Angie.. Mr. Edgars daughter , Mr. Edgar overheard me, and spoke to me at 8:45 pm... on a Saturday night !!!! He did not have to... but he did. He found the problem....the following day I watched the most synchronized orchestra by the team ! Still mesmerized by the way the work was carried out! I work in health care, I am a business woman and I love classical music! Let me tell you all, their work is innovative! My husband and I live in peace after those 3 agonizing days... knowing that there are angles out there and then there is Mastero Edgar, his family and crew! Clean, professional, affordable. Mr. Edgar, thanks again for the reminder to “go an extra mile” when I care for my clients! Regards, Grace Paul. Rockville, MD"

"We were having problems with our septic. 1 st we had the tank pumped. Continued to have problems with backing up. Zack and his helper came out and snaked the clean out pipe. Worked for a couple weeks backed up again. Bryan and his helper came out and snaked the pipe again and ran the camera in the pipe which showed tree roots clogging up the pipe. He then ran a root cutting tool in the pipe. As Bryan was doing all of this he explained everything he was doing and why. I was very impressed with his knowledge. He was excellent. He advised we need a crew to dig up the pipe to the tank. Jay and Cody came out and dug up the pipe and inlet access and found clog mixed with tree roots. They cleaned everything up and all is working. Thank all of you guys for your help. I would recommend all them !"

"BGE used to stand for Baltimore Gas and Eletric, but I don't know that it stands for that any more. I'm dating myself, years ago it used to be Baltimore Gas and Electric. And there's a company that we have a policy through them called BGE Home and we have that electric company as well. And so, we just pay extra to have a policy and we have that. We also have the kitchen policy.  I know some people think they're a ripoff, but they have paid for themselves more than once. It's not a warranty. Our electric company used to be BG&E, but I think it's changed names a zillion times because of all of the electric competition. But the company they have, it's called BGE Home. It's kind of like a warranty. I guess you could call it a warranty service. I don't know where their address is. I just call 1-800-BGE Home. You can sign up for heating and air. We don't have their heating and air, but we've had them come out before. We have their home and their kitchen policy. One is like $9 a month, one is like $12. One just recently went up. This was like three or four years ago. I dont' remember. I just remember somebody was like, "If you don't have policy, it's very hard to get someone to come out on a weekend. We got a discount on the price because we have their policy. They came out, they sent somebody, they knew the situation, they drained the tank so we didn't have to worry. We got lucky because it was just trickling out. They drained the tank and they turned off the gas because you can't just drain a tank when you have gas. I don't know anything about it and neither does my husband. So they sent somebody out right away on a Sunday. We thought they weren't going to do it and we were calling around and nobody would come. It was an arm and a leg just to get somebody to come. And then they came right away and drained the tank and turned of the gas and then we ordered one. They said, "Call us when you get back," and we did. Then they came out and put in the new one. We have their kitchen policy, too. And my refrigerator, well, I think we've gotten three new ice makers. When you have these refrigerators with the ice makers -- they come out and replace the whole thing. They've come out for my washer and my dryer. When they can't fix it, they'll give you money toward a new one. The refrigerator is at least fifteen years old and the ice maker has been replaced at least three times. That's why I have the policy. People say, you should just save that money, but I use them so I really -- even though you take the $9 and you multiply it by 12 -- but the fact, with the water heater and the discount and washer, (my washer was over 20 years old, they gave me money towards a new one)... The good part is that when you have a problem, you're not waiting for weeks for somebody to come. I don't have them for my heating and air because I have two zone heating and it's pretty expensive to have that. But we did use them to install the new heat pump in the attic. They did a great job on that, too. That's been about four years ago. They came and tried to repair the washer, but it was just too old so they ended up giving us money towards a new one.That was like two years ago. That came out more recent than that to fix the dryer. I don't know if you've ever heard of this: our dryer would not shut off and it would come on, on it's own. Even if you had the door open. You had to unplug it. You had no idea when it was coming on, and it wouldn't spin. I was afraid of having a fire. It was crazy. The dryer would just come on any time.  We had a refrigerator and the whole unit melted and we almost had a fire and they came for that. They fixed the whole main unit in the refrigerator -- the compressor. They came and they fixed it. They fixed my washer, my dryer, my refrigerator, my hot water heater, and they installed -- even though we don't have a policy -- we got estimates and hired them to put in the new heat pump unit up in the attic. And we had county inspectors out and they checked the hot water heater and they said, "Oh, you had BGE out. They know what they're doing." We have a heat pump up in the attic and it's brutal up there. It's nasty and hot and they did a great job on that one. We have a unit, a furnace, in the basement, gas on the first floor and a heat pump in the attic. And the other one we were thinking we should get replaced. But, they came out and said, "You know what? I would run it into the ground. Stagger it. If you get them both at the same time, they're going to go out at the same time. If I were you, I would just hold off. Get the attic one because it's broke and over 20 years old, but don't replace the one that's working." That was four or five years ago. We always worry because the builder put the unit up in the attic and then he put the access plank in and it was a lot smaller than the unit up in the attic. So, I always worry, how is somebody going to get that out of there? My husband, when we go up to change the filters, he says, "I don't know what we're going to do when that one goes because I don't know who's going to get that out of there." But they did. I think they cut it in half and they got it out. No drywall damage. Nothing came through the ceiling."

It went very well. Jeffrey Morrissey (master plumber & gas fitter) was able to locate the leak point that cause water to seep down from the inside of the back basement wall to the outside in a vertical fashion. We discovered the leak on the outside wall after turning on the water hose for the first time in the Spring. We also got 5 min of help to check our sump pump too (nothing wrong there. Just got a quick lesson on how to check if it's still working even though we have not heard it run for years).

He ended up cutting out the copper portion where there was a hole & clamped the other part for the fix. So far so good - it's holding well. It was found that that area was in need of additional insulation. With the extreme temps this past year, the hose bib line ended up with a hole (we've lived in the home for almost 20 yrs & this is the 1st time we had trouble). He left the drywall opening for us to repair since we needed to add more insulation (used spray foam around the repair site). 

Jeffrey Morrissey was on time and the first to respond via Home Advisor search; was friendly/easy to work with, helpful, careful about our home. No complaints. I saw that he was not on Angie's List, so we're hoping our good service experience will add his company on this list. Good service!

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.

Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and size of your well pump.

Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There’s some flexibility with this if you’d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your well tank’s general pressure setting.

The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings—going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.
