"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

Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it’s generally safe for septic systems. It won’t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.

Buying a well drilling kit will save you money over hiring a professional. That said, digging a well is risky. If you make an error, you may have to get help fixing it. Also, the DIY costs are still pretty hefty when considering everything needed to complete the project successfully. You’ll need to account for the permit, pump, water tank, and more. If you don’t feel comfortable taking the necessary precautions to tackle this on your own, go with a pro.

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.

Yes, it is possible to drill a well by hand, but it calls for a good deal of physical labor. Drilling a well by hand is best suited for softer soil, and it may not be possible through rockier terrain. For wider and deeper holes, companies with professional equipment make the job much easier.

Yes, a septic tank riser can replace a concrete septic tank lid. Risers are designed to replace various types of septic tank covers, including concrete, metal, and fiberglass, to provide easier access for pumping and repairs. While a plastic riser makes future access more convenient, the initial replacement can be difficult because concrete lids are very heavy, so it is a job best left to professionals. Once installed, you will need to be cautious around the riser during yard work, such as mowing, to avoid causing damage.
