"Woke up Saturday morning to discover our water heater was leaking. Reached out to Mike McGee, he located a suitable water heater, and came out and replaced the water heater the same day. Very friendly, very professional, did a very good job, left job site clean. I highly recommend him and The Gentleman Plumber, and wouldn't hesitate to use them for any other plumbing project."

"From the very start in meeting Stuart I knew that this company was by far one of the best in the industry. He was extremely knowledgeable about exactly what type of system to install along with carefully listening to what mine and my wife's needs were so that he could make sure to meet them, which he fully did. Two thumbs up to Stuart along with Jeremy and Robb who came out and did an amazing job on our whole house water filtration system install. It was also very impressive that there is still a company out there that when they say they will be there, they are! Very punctual and the follow-up was superb. Jeremy and Robb were very detailed in making sure everything was done 100% correct and that no mistakes were made along the way in installing the system. I absolutely love the fact of being thorough and doing it right the first time! A+++++++ for a job well done and a great reputable company that stands behind their word! I would highly recommend calling them if you are thinking about getting a water system or upgrading from an older one of any kind.

"I would not recommend S&K plumbing services. I had a leak in a copper line for my humidifier. The S&K plumber came out and said he would have to check with one of the HVAC techs and he would come back with parts he needed. I later received a call to reschedule and was told the plumber was not coming back and an HVAC tech could not come for another week, unless I said it was an emergency. I called another plumber instead who came and fixed the leaking soldier joint. S&K charged me a $55 service call for the plumber's visit. I called to dispute the bill and was told the plumber could not do the job I needed and I would have to pay for the service call. But clearly the plumber didn't have the skills to do the job, i.e., resolder a failed copper joint."

"Old unit died during the hottest week so far. They responded the same day I called to perform an estimate. Returned in two business days to install the new unit! The two day delay was waiting for the particular unit I wanted to be delivered."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Pumping your septic tank is vital maintenance. You’ll typically need to have your septic tank pumped about every three to five years when the tank is full. This is a routine maintenance task that can easily be handled by a septic tank company near you. They can also provide regular inspections to make sure all the parts of your septic system are working properly.

To keep roots from growing into a septic tank. However, there are other steps you can take if existing tree roots are getting close to your septic tank. For one, you can install root barriers, which physically block roots from reaching your septic tank. You can also use chemical solutions in your yard or plumbing system to deter root growth.

How often you need to pump your tank depends on the size of your tank and how many people live in your home. The average recommended frequency is every three to five years. However, your tank may need more or less frequent pumpings than that. For example, a single person with a 1,000-gallon septic tank may only need to pump it every nine to 12 years, while a five-person family with the same sized tank may need to pump it every two to four years.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

Ensuring you have adequate space for your engineered septic system is crucial. You’ll need to reserve approximately 900 square feet for a three-bedroom home’s system. However, the type of soil you have, soil absorption rate, the size of your home, climate, and local zoning code will impact the actual amount of space you need.
