"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had a sewer line blockage emergency, and the JSP plumber (Damon) responded immediately and provided a same-day estimate. The work was completed a few days later, as scheduled and described, but was very much on the pricey side (the reason for the 3.5 value rating). Damon and his assistant were highly competent and professional, and did excellent work. We might have negotiated a better price and pursued competing offers, but given the "emergency" nature of the problem we went with JSP. I would certainly recommend them to others, with the caution that getting additional quotes might be wise."

"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.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

A mound septic system, when properly maintained, can last between 20 and 25 years on average—though some last longer or malfunction sooner than that. The most important part of maintenance is getting an annual inspection of the vital parts of the system to ensure they’re in proper working order and not too backed up with sewage.

On average, you should call a pro to pump your cesspool once per year. If you have a larger home with a lot of family members, you may need to pump more (up to six times per year). On the flip side, if you’re talking about a cesspool for a home you don’t use much or if you’re the only occupant in a home, you won’t have to pump nearly as much.

While a traditional septic tank requires a leach field for wastewater disposal, it is possible to have a septic system without one. Some alternative systems, which are often used when there isn't enough space for a full-size leach field, include mound systems or sand filtration systems. In a conventional setup, the leach field is essential because it's where the wastewater goes after leaving the tank.

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.
