Pete the Plumber is loyal to the capital region where he proudly lives with his family. He is dedicated to providing quality workmanship at affordable pricing. For over 20 years, Pete has prided himself on repeat customers. His clients trust his judgment and are satisfied with his prompt, efficient service. His professional, knowledgeable, highly-trained staff promises to respond to any and all calls, day or night. He will go out when other companies are sleeping.

"We hired Pete the plumber in 2018 for a toilet clog. He charged us close to $400 dollars for removing the toilet and running the snake through. Fast forward until now we have the same issue. When I called I wanted to double check the price. He said $275. When I mentioned my previous experience with him over the phone he claimed that was not him that he never charges that much money. When he came over i showed him the receipt he gave me in 2018. He said he charged me that much money cause he had to remove the toilet bowl and walked right out not even having the decency to ask how can he help. Would I hire him again? Absolutely NOT! Would I recommend him? NO!!!!"

"I called, left a message (since it was after hours). I got a call back within half an hour. They dispatched someone who showed up within an hour and fixed the A/C (capacitor was blown). We were happy to have it work again as the weekend was supposed to be a record temperature wise. I have been a customer for several years, had furnace and hot water heater installed by them and get regular service for furnace and A/C. Always great service. I highly recommend the company."

We pride ourselves on delivering unbeatable customer service. Our staff is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly and treats every job or project, no matter the size, with the “Red Carpet Treatment” it deserves. We strive to accommodate YOUR schedule, understanding that time is one of your most valuable assets.

"We were initially impressed with the salesperson and went with Crisafulli for that reason despite their proposal being more expensive than other providers. Soon after the installation started though, so did our disappointment. The project was poorly planned, ultimately taking over a month (initial estimate 2 days) due to careless project management on their part. They also tacked on charges we were initially told would not be included and failed to resolve the issues we had with poor installation quality. If you go with Crisafulli, which I do not recommend, make sure you have a detailed SOW and can verify the work being performed."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

It’s not needed for your septic system to operate, but it will make regular maintenance and the ability to access your tank infinitely easier. You’ll likely also save some money in the long run, not to mention a lot of labor and energy because there will be less digging involved to find the tank when there’s a riser installed.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.
