"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.

"Plumber arrived on time. He repaired the leaking pipes and replaced the toilet tank flapper and valve. The toilet flapper replacement alone didn't completely correct the problem. So the plumber replaced the valve apparatus. He made sure the leaks were fixed by rechecking them just before leaving. Excellent work! Would hire again!"

"Takes for ever to get a return a call. Also took a week to get someone out for repairs. They said they would reimburse me for septic repairs and it took over 3 months for that to happen."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Deciding between an engineered septic system and a conventional one depends on property size, soil quality, local regulations, and environmental factors. If your property has limited space, poor soil, or is close to sensitive environmental features, an engineered system may be required. Professional site evaluations, considering water usage, long-term plans, and budget constraints, can help determine the appropriate choice. Consulting with a septic system professional is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations and selecting the best system for your property's unique needs.

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.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

You may notice a septic smell in your yard after it rains if groundwater is entering your septic tank and causing it to overflow. If you experience septic odors after rainfall, contact a licensed plumber. They can construct a drain to redirect rainwater away from your septic tank.
