Description of Work: We heard (and felt) a loud thumping whenever the sump pump shut off. They figured out that they could add a strap to a pipe to minimize the vibration. They had one on their truck, attached it. Did the trick and didn't charge me. They have done several major jobs for us in the past and we have been more than satisfied. They came when they said they would. Did what they said they would at a fair price.

Mr. Downs determined once work had started that the system was not out of compliance after all. The county documentation was badly out of date. Downs installed the necessary risers and inspection ports and was present during the county inspection.
Description of Work: Summit County determined that the septic system was not in compliance. Downs installed risers and covers, inspection ports, and chlorination system to bring the system up to standard.

This is a forever problem due to trees on the property near the sanitary drain. Prior cleanings have been very expensive. Downs uses high pressure water to clear the roots. This was the best experience ever, and I now have a yearly maintenance agreement to take care of the problem.
Description of Work: Sanitary drain filled with roots, again.
