"Jerry is such a nice guy. Easy to talk to and very professional. When he opened his work trailer I knew I had the right guy for the job. Everything in order - tools, saws, nails, screws, etc. all neat and clean. Jerry works the same way. The railing and steps came out really really nice. I would hire Jerry again in a heartbeat."

"He replaced outdoor plumbing for spout and did some took off some siding of the house. He did an excellent job and provided a very reasonable price. He give free estimate and he come back 2 days later and got finished the job . H e was all work and no talk and had no delay. He was spectacular .and He knew how to access 35 year old pipe that was in the siding. It was great. He place everything in perfect edition and I'd even recommended him on the app next door. I even left his name for others to contact for general contracting needs. I plan to call him again."

"John was amazing right from the start of the project. He came highly recommended from a fellow plumber that I called late on a Saturday nite when I discovered that my basement had been filling up with water. John called me back and came to my house as soon as he could Sunday morning and was there with a member of his crew Mark I believe, and they worked all day and evening pumping out my basement to get to the cause of the problem. John was very good at keeping me well informed every step of the way. He has been in the business for over 15 years I believe he said and his expertise shows. He knows exactly what to do and will work extremely hard to get it done quickly correctly and to make you happy. John also checked back in with me several times to make sure there were no issues with anything and assured me he would be there if there was 24/7. John is such a nice guy and extremely easy to work with and I could not recommend him and his company more!! I had what to me was a major crisis going on and John definitely made me feel much more at ease about my situation and I feel extremely confident I was in expert hands. I highly recommend JR Plumbing & Heating GC and will be calling them for any future needs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Most deep wells can be expected to last somewhere between 30 and 50 years. This assumes that the well and all of its components are properly maintained on a regular basis. During this time, it is unlikely that modern deep wells will run dry over the course of their typical lifespan. That is one of the biggest benefits of digging a deeper well. 

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
