"Purchased a new heater 3 years ago, the heater is no longer working they came out said it needed two new parts. This happened on Sunday 11/9. We were told the parts would be here 11/10. That was not the case. When we called they said they would not be here till 11/15. The parts finally arrived and guess what the heater is still not fixed. They stated another part is needed. They said that they would be back 11/18. They did not come back. heater is still not working, and from what we are being told they may not be able to fix it till 11/22. This is ridiculous. It's a new heater we should not have issues like this and the service has been less then par. It's freezing temps have ranged from 18-50 out side. Worst company to work with. Extremely disappointing!! Having to run space heaters to keep from freezing so the power bill will be very expensive. They should be paying for all this extra expense. On top of it we had to purchase the space heaters to just get by. What a joke."

"The Dirty Plumber (Jack) is the only plumber we will use. Our problem started in December with a dripping shower head. After giving another company a month to solve the problem, including ordering the wrong part, we hired Jack. He knew immediately that the wrong part was ordered and had the right one within a week. Yes, our shower fixtures are old and high end, so when the handle wouldn’t work he again knew immediately what the problem was and showed up with the part to fix it! He is responsive, prompt, knowledgeable, plans ahead and stands behind his work. We have some future plumbing projects and he already has creative suggestions to save us money. Thank you Jack!"

We specialize in service, repairs and remodels for your plumbing, waste, HVAC and underground utility services in commercial and residential applications. Free estimates happily given upon request. Senior and military discounts. Additional DBA - Jet Services Inc.

"Homeowners insurance sent them out. Snaked away from the house, I asked if he wanted to look inside, and he said he didn't need to. Everything backed up that night, same problem. Called again they said they would need to run a camera down the line, homeowners' insurance wouldn't pay for it. We rented a snake from Home Depot, pulled the toilet and found the blockage along with a broken pipe under the house. When homeowners' insurance is going to send out Jet Plumbing ask for a different company or fix it yourself. Worst Service Ever."

"Rory Rickets, owner of Millennium Plumbing, replaced my faucet and fixed my leak under the sink and my front, leaking outdoor hose bib. Rory explained the process and extra options and details (removing hoses, fixtures to a nonexistent filtration system, various faucet choices, etc.) and communicated pricing and fees with me throughout the process. He was fast, knowledgeable, detailed, courteous and affordably priced. I am thrilled with Rory and Millennium Plumbing. I highly recommend him."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.

Unfortunately, yes. If your well pump continues working when the flow of water is completely blocked, the motor will burn up. The energy has nowhere to go, thanks to the blockage, so it turns inward. The end result? A ruined well pump and a depleted bank account (once you shop for a replacement.) 

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.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

The best way to prevent septic tank problems from occurring in the first place is to arrange for regular annual inspections. This lets the septic tank pros spot potential issues before they develop. It’s also important to have your septic system pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if your pro suggests it. Finally, don’t dispose of inappropriate substances in your septic system.
