Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Monroe
- AAA City PlumbingChris went above and beyond the call of duty to get our situation resolved. I truly appreciate his friendly demeanor but most of all his professionalism! Tim C.
- DOVER'S SEPTIC TANKThey did a great job. We didn't have any problem since then. They also did a great job putting my yard back together.
- 1st Choice Service IncThe alarm went off during the weekend. They had an after hours service that took my phone call and scheduled me for Monday morning. They came, gave me two options for fixing the panel, and then fixed it. Was very happy with their service and would use them again.
- T W Ammons Septic Service IncWe had TW Ammons out earlier this year to take care of a leach field leak issue. We paid them almost $3,000 for their service. We also had more of the same issues following their remedy. We called back numerous times to get them back out and they always stated they were busy and would get back out when they could. Fast forward to end of year when we call them again, which they do not recall us ever calling. (poor communication between son and dad). Now they are insistent that is is our fault. Very poor customer service! They DO NOT STAND BEHING THEIR WORK
- B.I.G septicMy husband and I were quoted a high price from another company we were worried how we would pay. Mike and B.I.G septic came in and diagnosed the problem and made it affordable for us they were nice and efficient loves them will definitely recommend and use again.
- Three Way Plumbing ServicesIt went very well. They were very prompt and courteous- they jumped on the problem right away, which is great because our renter really needed the help in a timely manner. They called just before they came out to let us know that they were coming and it was very efficient. The one guy worked quite hard to dig down to the septic tank- he probably had to dig about 3 feet with a shovel to get to the septic tank door. The price was reasonable
- Three Way Plumbing ServicesJob performed in a professional manner. No issues since fix implemented. Plummer explained what the problem was, what needed to be done, cost and guaranteed work for one year. He was aware of local/county residential code. Answered all questions. Was very prompt and called ahead of arriving to let me know when to expect him. Office staff was very professional, friendly and helpful in scheduling the appointment. I have used 3-Way Plumbing in the past and will continue to use them when needed. Strongly recommend them
- Three Way Plumbing ServicesProblem started with low water pressure. If spigot were opened in first floor, little or no flow was available on second floor. Tom, the technician from Three Way Plumbing came and speculated the problem would be a failed pressure regulator then about twenty years old. While we believed we had a pressure regulator, its location was not immediately found. Since the water main had a pressure of 75 psi and our house pressure was 15 psi, logically we had a failed regulator somewhere. If the pressure regulator could not be found near the meter, it could mean it would be necessary to dig up and replace the 100 foot underground supply line to our house. We also requested a quotation for replacement of our gas water heater. Tom gave three estimates of cost depending on: 1) Digging up to six feet from the meter to find and replace the regulator, 2} Installing a new regulator and supply line,and 3) replacement of water heater in combination either with either item 2, or items 1 and 2. After determining from water company that water main had adequate pressure and having other utilities marked, Tom made an an appointment for work to begin about one week later. He arrived at the appointed time and quickly found the old pressure regulator in the correct place but unusually over two feet under ground. He then installed a new regulator. Tom already had the replacement water heater in his truck and with the help of an assistant proceeded to install the water heater. After an elapsed time of about three hours total, Tom worked with such efficiency and dispatch that the pressure problem was solved and the new water heater installed in perfect working order, a welcome and great outcome
- T W Ammons Septic Service IncMr. Ammons and his team came out on short notice when a problem was detected in our system because a tree service's truck ran over the collector box. It was important for us to get it fixed because we were going to have to be out of town within a couple of days. As they assessed the problem they found that the distribution box and the lines in our drain field were totally filled with roots. His team got to work on it immediately that morning and worked until after dark using lights from their tractor to give the vision. They kept me updated all day long on what they found and showed me the problems encountered. They stuck with it until the problem was fixed and their work was top notch. They were also very professional and personable. We've had TW Ammons out to do work on our system before, and he's done work on our neighbor's house, too. In every case the work has been done promptly and professionally at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend this service without hesitation
- T W Ammons Septic Service IncThe day after Christmas (12/26/2012) we noticed a pool of liquid on the ground near our septic tank, adjacent to the lower end of our driveway. I called T.W. Ammons, in part because I liked the Yellow Pages ad: "Family owned and operated for over 26 years," "Owner on site from start to finish," "Effective and inexpensive," "Licensed and Insured," AND it even included three different NC licenses with license NUMBERS, Mr. Ammons was very helpful: He recommended that we start by pumping the tank, because that might be sufficient to fix the problem. Ammons doesn't provide septic pumping services (they focus on repairs), but he recommended another company (Lefler-Stuart), provided their contact information, and said he'd be glad to help if we still had a problem after pumping. Gerald Lemmonds, owner of Lefler-Stuart (in Charlotte), said he could come the following morning. He arrived at the specified time and after digging around, diagnosed a broken septic lift pump in the effluent tank, which would require repair/replacement by Ammons. (He said we did not need to pump the septic tank itself at that time, but recommended we do so in 6 months to a year -- even though he could easily have recommended immediate septic pumping, too, and charged for that as well.) With our approval, he contacted Mr. Ammons with all the specifics, and then drained (pumped out) the effluent tank to provide access for Ammons. Tim Ammons arrived within about an hour. He replaced the lift pump and float switch, repaired the alarm switch, closed everything up, replaced all the soil and tidied up. He left his card with contact information in case there were any problems, but we have not had to use it in the two and a half months since then. Mr. Ammons (like Mr. Lemmonds) was thoroughly helpful, prompt, efficient, pleasant and courteous. Both recommended steps to minimize the expense, rather than selling us services we did not need. Mr. Ammons's fee was mostly the cost of the pump itself, and relatively little for time and labor. We can highly and enthusiastically recommend T.W. Ammons Septic Service Inc

With over 20 years of plumbing experience, we at Lowery Brothers Plumbing Company take pride in ourselves on quality over quantity every time. We are a family owned and operated business licensed and insured. We hope to be your plumber any time you are in need.
"Both my bathrooms clogged overnight, and the emergency plumber I called came out and quoted me nearly $800 to dig up my septic tank lid and clear the main drain line. I said no thanks. Contacted Lowery Brothers for a quote the next morning, and got a response in less than 10 minutes saying they'd be able to be there that evening. They contacted me later in the day confirming they would be there when they said, and they arrived right on schedule (and wearing masks, which was appreciated). They ended up pulling off one toilet and snaking the drain, clearing the clog, then reseating the toilet, which had a leak at the base. Their price was less than half of the other quote, and they were professional, friendly, and fast. I am going to be calling these guys for all plumbing services I'll need in the future, and will be recommending them as well.

"I am a very pleased customer. My realtor recommended Nick and his company. Nick and team did a great job. After a year and a half passed, my crawl space developed an issue. Nick and team came back out to fix the minor issue at no expense. I only paid for the service call since it was a one hour drive to my house.
If I should have any crawl space service needs, I'll be sure to contact Nick first. He has built a good relationship and is responsive. I would recommend Nick and his company for any mold or crawl space problems you may have. Thanks Nick and team!

"This was a great experience! Tim and his crew were easy to get in touch with, showed up when they say they would, did the work at the price I was quoted, and cleaned everything up.
<br /> About two months ago, I noticed some water damaged near the sewer and water lines in my basement. After some back and forth with foundation/waterproofing professionals, we finally determined that the problem was a major crack in the sewer line. Initially, it looked like the repair would cost more than $1500 and involve digging up my landscaping in the front yard. Tim got creative and figured out a way to fix the pipe from iniside the house....saving me money and saving my shrubs!

Septic Tank Service FAQ
-
What are the signs your septic tank is full?
Answer: There are several signs that indicate your septic tank could be full. These include standing water over your septic tank, a strong odor coming from your yard, gurgling water, slow drains, or a sewage backup. While many of these signs could also be indicative of a clogged system, they should all be checked out by a professional ASAP to avoid costly damages. In the absence of any of these signs, it’s recommended that septic tanks be emptied every 3 to 5 years on average.
-
How often should a septic tank be serviced?
Answer: On average, septic tanks should be serviced every 3 to 5 years in the absence of any worrying signs that the tank is clogged or full. The size of your septic tank, the number of people living in your home, and your average water usage will all impact how often your septic tank needs to be serviced.
-
What are the most common causes of septic tank failure?
Answer: The most common cause of septic tank failure is improper maintenance. Failing to pump a septic tank on the appropriate schedule will cause septic tank failure and likely result in a costly septic tank repair or replacement. On average, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but the size of your tank, the number of people in your home, and your average water usage may shorten or extend this timeframe.
-
How much does it cost to pump a septic tank?
Answer: The cost to pump a septic tank is $400 on average or about $0.30 per gallon. The size of your septic tank, as well as local labor costs, will impact the cost of pumping your septic tank. Most septic tanks are between 600 and 2,000 gallons in size, meaning the average cost range is between $180 to $600.
-
How much does it cost to install a septic system?
Answer: The cost to install a septic tank system is between $3,060 and $9,810, on average. The size of the septic tank you choose, the land you’re installing it on, the type of system you choose, and local labor costs will all influence the total cost of installing a septic system. Anaerobic septic tanks (those that don’t need oxygen) typically cost between $3,000 and $8,000. Aerobic systems, which utilize oxygen to activate bacteria and are popular on smaller properties, usually cost between $10,000 and $20,000.
-
How long does a septic system last?
Answer: When septic systems are well maintained, they can last up to 30 years or more. If a septic system isn’t properly maintained, such as when it isn’t pumped regularly, it may malfunction and require costly repairs or a premature replacement. In general, septic tank pumping is recommended every 3 to 5 years to ensure the septic system lasts as long as possible.
