"The pro came 2 hours later than the scheduled time (scheduled for 9 am, came around 11 am). The price for a simple cartridge change in the shower was $486.00. In the invoice description the pro wrote: "I inspected the master shower. After evaluating the issue, I determined that the cartridge was faulty. We proceeded with replacing the cartridge". Then under Service # KSF-132 Description is written: Replace single handle premium kitchen faucet. Quantity 1.00 Then amount $486.41 What is that? He did one job and charged me for something else. He didn't give me the invoice straight away when I asked; he told me he would email it to me later. So, I couldn't even see what job I was signing for. I would not recommend this company to anyone."

"I have used them several times and their technicians do great work. However, their bookkeeping/ accounting has recently had some serious issues. If you pay by check be very diligent and make sure your check is endorsed, deposited and presented to your bank for payment. Apparently they prefer to be paid by credit card but I do not pay my bills with a credit card. What a totally unnecessary hassle they just put me through."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

In general, septic tanks can last between 15 and 40 years. A variety of factors can affect a septic tank’s lifespan, such as its material composition, nearby soil acidity, water table levels, and usage. Monitor and manage your water usage, avoid dumping chemicals or garbage in your system, and get routine inspections and maintenance to maximize your system’s lifespan.

Yes, states and municipalities require septic tank companies to be licensed, so an unlicensed  individual or company cannot complete a septic tank installation or alteration. Most municipalities also require licenses for septic tank pumping. You should always verify that the company you’re considering for your septic tank project is properly licensed, which you can do by using Angi’s licensing search tool. You should also verify that the company is fully insured to avoid legal issues should an employee be injured on your property.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.

There are a few things that can make your drain field fail. These include driving or parking vehicles or heavy machinery on the field, excess sodium in the soil, or having a high water table. You can prevent failure by ensuring your installer checks that your chosen location is suitable for a drain field and properly maintaining your system with the help of a professional.
