"The plumber was nothing but professional and very helpful, considering it was the middle of the night. He went above and beyond to find the leak 3 other plumbers could not find. I really appreciated how he was able to come help me in the middle of the night and still give great customer service. A solid 10/10"

"My daughter had a back water valve fail at her house. She had sewer water coming up the basement drain. JD called me within minutes of my inquiry on Angie's list. He was the first one to call and I'm glad he did. He was very patient and explained everything, took pictures and helped us every step of the way. I also appreciated knowing that he had daughters. This is my daughter's first home and it is hard to find someone to trust."

"After calling countless plumbing companies that could not respond to our emergency plumbing issue I was starting to lose hope. Then I tried Angie's List to see if there were any professionals closer to home. That is when I came across Bill with Us Drain, Inc. He was kind enough to come right away and let us know exactly what was going on with our plumbing issues that were causing us so much grief. We very much appreciate his expertise and would recommend him as a trusted professional to our neighbors and family in our area."

"T&T Designs and Construction did a fantastic job with our project. We were forced to eliminate our current septic system and convert to the city sewer which was a pretty big project. The whole thing was around 600 feet long and also had to do a new sewer tap. It was very deep (around 20 feet) to the city sewer. Nick & his Team handled it quickly and professionally. We really appreciated how careful they were with our property. They managed to install the new line and avoid damaging our newer asphalt driveway by doing a long curve around the parameter to avoid everything. Connecting to the deep sewer line was no problem for them. The crew was great to work with. They were always considerate and making sure things were safe and tidy. They even fixed all the grass they dug up. What really surprised us was they used asphalt millings to improve our dirt driveway without charging us anything. We're very happy with their work and would definitely recommend T&T Designs."

"Turns out the leak was the result of a years-old faulty faucet part. The tech had a replacement in his truck that he was able to get to work -- and that was three years ago and it still works fine. We really appreciate what he did because our water bill actually went down.
I'm not sure about the actual service date but it soon after we bought the coupon.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

When your septic system is failing, you’ll probably smell it. Common signs of a septic system failure include sewage odors in the home or around the yard, flooding in the yard above the septic tank or in the leach field, and wastewater or even raw sewage backing up into your home’s drains.

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.

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.
