"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

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

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.

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

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.
