"Our septic tank pump went out last Friday evening. The following morning, I called the office and spoke with a friendly and professional receptionist, who told me that they had immediate availability, and that someone could probably come out that same afternoon. Unfortunately, they weren't actually able to come out until Monday afternoon, two days later, at which time they diagnosed a possible electrical issue, and recommended that I consult with an electrician before proceeding any further. So I had the electrical problem fixed the very next morning, and immediately called All About Septic after that to schedule my pump replacement. Unfortunately again, they did not make it back to my house until late the next day. and then they encountered an unexpected complication. And because darkness was approaching, and also because they had gotten such a late start, they were not able to make it back until late the next day again, because they chose to prioritize another job over ours. When I communicated my dissatisfaction with one of the owners about this, he said that it wouldn't be right to delay another customer job by one day, by keeping my project at the top of their priority list. My question for your management team is, which is worse, delaying someone else's job by just one day, or further delaying my job to day six? I think the answer is obvious, and in my opinion, this company was not exercising common sense in that regard. And keep in mind that for six days, because your management team willfully chose not to make our job your top priority, we were not able to shower, do laundry, run the dishwasher, or take any showers for that entire length of time. If you want to improve the customer experience, you might want to reconsider how you prioritize your jobs. Another issue is that the cost of this job was shockingly high at just under 3K, but I understand that the cost of labor and materials has risen significantly over the past couple of years, so obviously there is nothing anyone can do about that. But I was disappointed that I had to replace my last pump after only 3.5 years, which was also installed by All about Septic at the end of 2018. I am giving an average rating because, as far as I know, they apparently did do the job correctly, and also diagnosed and fixed an additional electrical problem at no extra charge. And their technicians, office staff, and management were polite and professional, for the most part. The only thing that really did rub me the wrong way in my interactions with them was when the lead technician made a special point of telling me that it would cost me an additional $283 just to disconnect the pump. It wasn't until after I called the office to protest this charge that I was finally informed by the technician that the charge would be taken off after I agreed to the new pump installation. This was just very poor communication, plain and simple. I do think that this is a good company, as the many positive reviews here are a testament to that, but for whatever reason, my experience with them just did not go smoothly at all. I do believe that the rating for my experience with this company is both accurate and fair, as I was trying my best to be cognizant of noting both the positive and negative aspects of the overall experience."

Serving Western North Carolina's Heating, Cooling and Indoor Environmental Needs. Here at Comfort Central, we have a mission to provide you with the best possible experience. We want to earn your loyalty so you will never have to worry about your Heating, Cooling or Indoor Air Quality ever again.

"I highly recommend Comfort Central. Owner Kevin Schumann and his co-workers, Jay and Thomas, did an outstanding job installing the new HVAC system at our house. Over a four-day period, they set up in our crawl space a furnace/AC unit, a new plenum box, pipes for venting, and a dehumidifier with its own elaborate duct and water-removal system that will help keep our huge crawl space dry. They also put in a new heat pump in the backyard and a thermostat in the house. I was so impressed by the people and the work they did. Kevin and Jay are remarkably knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to HVAC issues. Thomas did a very good job with the aspects of the project that he handled. Every installation presents its own challenges, and one of the best things about Kevin and Jay is their ability to improvise as the project moves along. They considered different options when deciding on the size of the new system, where vents should go, how the duct system should be repaired and improved, the placement and venting of the dehumidifier, and many other things. They always kept the code requirements in mind. They were on time, friendly, communicative, and always considerate about how their work affected us while we were in the house. Kevin, Jay, and Thomas were also terrific when it came to answering my many questions. Kevin’s wife Laurie, who manages the office, responded quickly to my e-mails and helped with scheduling. HVAC projects can be expensive and complicated, and we wanted the right company to handle ours. We learned about Comfort Central from our home health specialist who had worked with Kevin in the past and had received very positive comments about his team from customers. I can recommend Kevin and the Comfort Central crew without reservation."

"David did substantial work to repair foundation damage that was found during removal of a large tree that fell during the Helene storm. The foundation was bulging/collapsing inwards below grade to the interior of an earthen basement. The project needed more than a canned approach, which several other foundation contractors described that they could do. David explained several options for addressing the failure and stabilizing the foundation over the longer term. I was impressed by his thinking and very satisfied by the work. He was able to do the work in a timely fashion during a period when he was working on quite serious road and foundation repair projects resulting from Helene damage. I would absolutely hire him again."

Call Dad, LLC is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Still waiting for a call back after initial visit. They were to move forward but no time schedule yet and A/C not working. As of now, this looks like 4 days of wasted time as I am not sure their customer service exist. The lady this morning said she would mark as urgent and get to a manager. You would think a simple call to a customer explaining backlog or schedule repair date should not take more than 5 minutes. Will give them until later today and then move on..."

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts

Most plumbers are available to make emergency house calls on Thanksgiving, but be sure to check their availability before making a service request. Since it’s a holiday, you can expect to pay additional fees for their time and labor. Plus, you should consider tipping your plumbing professionals extra for working on your pipes during a holiday.

Most plumbing lasts anywhere from 20 to 100 years, but it depends on the type of plumbing and materials. For example, copper and cast iron pipes last between 50 and 100 years on average, while galvanized steel, PEX, and brass pipes have lifespans ranging up to 50 years. Your soil acidity and extreme temperatures both impact how long pipes last, so keep in mind your home’s climate and soil quality when determining the lifespan.

Main water shut-off valves last 10 to 20 years on average, though they can sometimes last longer. This depends in part on the material you choose. Brass valves are very durable, but more expensive bronze or stainless steel valves may last even longer. Main water shut-off valves often fail due to aging internal parts, such as rubber washers. However, corrosion and sediment buildup also contribute to valve failure. If purchasing a home at least 10 years old, you may want to replace the main water shut-off valve soon to avoid potential problems.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

It’s generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In most cases, the level of sewer gas you’re exposed to in a home will be low enough to only cause minor symptoms, though high levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous. If you’re smelling sewer gas in your home, it’s important to locate, assess, and fix the problem, because it won’t go away on its own.
