"I was conflicted on this review, as they were very helpful and sent someone out very quickly. I had never used them and had someone I usually use but they were busy and I didn't have hot water until this was repaired. So I went with Benjamin Franklin. Professionalism was a little lacking. I mentioned on the phone that they would need a ladder, but they didn't have one. So they were hoisting each other up and climbing on the top of my furnace room door in order to get into the attic. It was a very dangerous thing to do, and could have caused injury to themselves or damage to the property. I borrowed a ladder from my neighbor after they did that a couple times. The big issue, though, was price. There were two guys there, one of which was clearly a "helper" grade and not an experienced plumber, and they worked for three hours. The only materials used were a gas shutoff valve, a pipe cap, and a small plastic access panel to cover a hole they cut in the wall. The charge came to $853 which is high for the time and materials involved. It turns out they use a "book rate" which means they charge a flat fee for given actions regardless of the actual time or money involved. As an example, the helper spent 15 minutes installing a $5 access panel and they charged me $150 for that specific item. (And, incidentally, the hole they cut in the wall ended up not being needed.) In the end, they did get it to where I could have the gas turned on. The root problem isn't fixed - I'll still have to get the gas line to my garage repaired. I'm happy with the fact that I have hot water, but I'm not happy with the price. If I had known they charged such high prices, I would have waited two days and had my usual plumber do the work. They're not bad guys, they're just expensive and not the most professional outfit. I wouldn't recommend them unless you absolutely had to have the work done right away."

"Another company was unable to clear the main sewer drain and wanted to up-sell an additional $900 to run a camera down it and use a water jet to try and clear it. I sent them packing and called Plumbing Professors. On time and got the drain cleared at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to others."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.

Several signs can indicate a faulty well pump pressure switch. These include your pump running continuously, the pump not turning on at all, or a sudden and complete loss of water. Other symptoms are weak water pressure or an erratic, unpredictable water flow from your fixtures. If you notice these issues, the pressure switch may be the cause. Testing the switch can help diagnose the problem. A faulty switch will likely need to be repaired or replaced. If the issue is more complex, it's best to consult a professional well technician to ensure your water supply is restored correctly.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

To keep your septic tank healthy, be careful of what you flush and be conservative with water usage, as even flushing too much water down the drain can throw off the septic system’s delicate balance. Never flush anything but human waste and toilet paper down your toilet, and be sure to have the tank inspected and pumped every two to five years, depending on the size of your household and your water usage.
