"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."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

If used correctly and sparingly, root killer shouldn’t damage your pipes. Make sure to follow the instructions on the back of the bottle or the company’s website to avoid any unintended damages. However, when it comes to copper sulfate, it’s better to avoid it. This type of root killer can damage your plumbing and the surrounding environment.

When hiring a sewer line company, you need to consider more than just the quoted price. Make sure to check that the company or contractor is licensed, certified, and insured to protect you both. Check for positive reviews, and you can even request references for extra peace of mind. 

To find the best contractor, you might also want to consider how long the company has been in business doing sewer line cleaning and if they’ve won any industry awards for their work and service. Review potential contracts closely, and look for transparent pricing.

Sewer gas in any location can cause eye and respiratory irritation if you’re exposed at low levels, or more severe symptoms if you’re exposed at high levels—but fortunately, the fresh air outside means it’s less likely to affect your physical health. However, sewer smells outside can still indicate significant plumbing problems that will need to be dealt with, such as a potentially damaged sewer line or roof vent pipe.
