"Avoid this company. They came out to my parents property a day earlier than expected. Started probing the ground to find the septic line and weren't able to find it. 15 minutes later water was coming out of the ground, come to find out they poked a hole in our water line. We tried giving the worker a call and he denied it...We had Johns Plumbing come out incurring a $600 charge. The owner Tommy came out looked at the pipe, said he make this right and reimburse. He never came back and ignores my calls and texts. The fact they did this to an elderly couple who are in their 80s with medical issues shows negligence. This experience not only highlighted their lack of responsibility but also revealed a disregard for the well-being of vulnerable individuals.

At Action Well & Pump, LLC, we pride ourselves on excellent customer satisfaction, due to our many years of experience. We pay strict attention to detail, and our quality of work is second to none. Our experience is your piece of mind. Action Well & Pump has been doing business all over the Triad for the past 20 years. We have over 30 years worth of experience in the business. We do not charge a trip charge so call us today for a free estimate! Please visit our website at www.actionwellandpump.com ****WE DO NOT DRILL WELLS***** WE ONLY DO PUMP, TANK AND FILTRATION WORK

"If you have brown water, talk to Action Well and Pump. My water was so full of magnesium and manganese that the county told me not to drink it so I lived on bottled water for 10 years. My clothes were brown (regardless of their original color) and so full of minerals that they were stiff. I looked and researched for a filtration system but was unimpressed with the responses from other providers. They would either tell me their system would not help me (at least they were honest!) or would say "sure our softening and filtration system will take care of it for $12K - $15K" until I wanted a guarantee. Finally, I asked Action Well and Pump if they could help me. They had provided repairs on my well, so I had a good opinion of them already. They explained how the Sidewinder worked. No softener was needed. No salt. And it worked spectacularly! I now can have white clothing that stays white. I am so grateful! Also, the cost was a third of what everyone else was quoting me for systems that would not solve my problem."

FAQs for septic tank service projects in Burlington, NC

Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.

The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.

A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.

Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
