"This is one of the most unprofessional companies I have dealt with. In June of 2021 GLP&H installed a faucet for me. That $200 faucet worked for 5 months before it broke. When I called to have it fixed in January of 2022, our plumber (Eldon) came out and explained they installed an old faucet in error. The old faucet was placed in a new faucet box which is usually sent out, however in my situation it was unintentionally installed. When Eldon took the faucet apart you could see it was an old faucet and he apologized and installed new one. Fast forward 8 months to August 2022. The new faucet has snapped. The company gives you a year warranty on the products they install. I called asking for a replacement since it's only been 8 months. I was advised the warranty had expired. How is that possible I just had it installed. Well ma'am when we installed the old one, your warranty started then so the new one we installed only had a 6 month warranty. I am sorry that is not how warranties work. I have been more then patient, especially after your people ADMITTED to installing the incorrect faucet, and now you are telling me you won't fix it because the warranty is expired. Absolutely not. When I called to talk to the manager, he was less then friendly and unwilling to make it right. I advised you I would purchase my own faucet and have your company install it you stated that wouldn't work for you. For a business that prides itself in being a family company you sure don't help your customers. I will await a response and a date when you can come install my new faucet."

"The person performing the service had to make several trips because one of the "new" parts turned out to be faulty. I found both Complete Protection and their local repair contractor to be both very responsive and totally professional at every stage of the repair process."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The best way to keep a septic tank clean is to hire a local septic tank cleaner to inspect and pump the septic tank every three to five years. Be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and don’t pour grease, oil, fats, coffee grounds, or food scraps into your drains.

The average life span of a well is about 30 to 50 years. Several factors can affect a well’s lifespan, such as its size, construction quality, water demand, and regular maintenance. Environmental factors, including droughts and earthquakes, can also have an influence. Drilling deeper, getting professional maintenance, and regulating your water usage can help extend your well’s lifespan.

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

Yes, you can replace a concrete septic tank lid with a plastic riser. A plastic riser will offer easier access to your tank when it’s time for pumping or repairs. However, since concrete is heavy and hard to handle, this is a job best left to the pros and not a DIYer.
