"Amazing and fast service. Got my completely clogged sewer pipe fully replaced within 8 hours!!! Friendly, fast and empathetic workers. Made sure you knew everything about the process they were taking to fix the problem. And busted their butts to get everything done the same day, they even cleaned as they went and when they were done. 10/10 recommend they were great!"

"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."

"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.

"Richard (owner) saved me from disaster. I was going to purchase a house and Richard did the home inspection. He found serious structural issues and saved me from buying a house that would have been a money pit. He is very thorough and explained items as we went along. He also had good suggestions on how to fix issues."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

Septic drain fields should be at least 10 feet from the property line, though exact requirements vary by location. Some areas may require further distances, such as 25 feet or more, depending on soil conditions and local health regulations. This extension ensures proper wastewater absorption and prevents contamination of neighboring homes.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.
