"Pumped out septic tank. Everything from scheduling to the actual pumping went well. The driver/worker was very knowledgeable about keeping a healthy supply of bacteria and enzymes in the tank."

"All in all, I'm very happy with the responsiveness, neatness and the workmanship I received: When I called at around 7 to 7:30 am, I got the answering service who was pleasant and she took down the necessary information. I'd say that within an hours time, the owner called me back took down some more information and gave me some options as to what type of WH options I could go with should the WH have to be replaced. He also emailed me some WH literature. He said that by 10 AM he could have someone out to check the WH and sure enough, by 10 AM, Tom, the plumbing mechanic was there. Tom first checked if anything simple was causing the leak (i.e. check the pipes and connections leading to the water heater). Unfortunately, it was in fact a faulty WH tank. So he then sent the serial numbers of the old WH to the office to check if it was still under warranty. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty (it was 10 years old). So he consulted with the office and very shortly after that, I had an emailed estimate to consider of the various options - tank-less vs tank. While considering the options, Tom offered to drain the 75 gal WH. I asked what that alone would cost should I not go with their outfit. He said it was complementary. After I decided to go with their outfit, they were able to install it that same day. It arrived within an hour or two and it was pouring rain! Now for the worrisome part... how are they going to not make a mess or drop it getting the old one out and the new one in with 2 flights of stairs to contend with... a full set of basement stars and stairs leading up to the deck off my kitchen. Tom laid out card board in the house and they were able to get it out and in without making any mess. Both Tom and the delivery person also wore shoe covers. Finally, once the new WH was down the basement, Tom plumbed it in and did a nice neat job! Since the WH was not a simple drop in, he had to do some adjustments to the PEX water lines; the copper leading up to the PEX; the 4" PVC ventilation pipe and the gas line to the WH. He also had the right tools to work with my PEX (Brand: Wirsbo) so he was able to use the fittings designed for that type of PEX so it looks like a pro job."

"Quick fix on the tub drain and thorough inspection of cold water lines to locate failed expansion tank as cause of air in water line refilling _noisy_ commode. 
Took a couple tries to get him here including a 'no-show, no-call'  Owner was most apologetic and citing "no-heat" calls.

"I think their coverage is a little spotty. You have to look at the document very carefully. It seems random to me. I reported a problem once and once I used the word "septic" they wouldn't cover it. Another time I didn't say it and then they covered it. You have to be really careful about how you phrase things."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

A well pressure tank is located between the well and the well pump, and it stores your water under pressure so that the well pump can eventually do its job. The well pump is activated whenever you turn a faucet on—it pulls the water from the tank into your home. Both are vital parts of a complete well water system.

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.
