"This is the single worst contractor I've ever encountered. They did nothing but try to overcharge and upsell me, and would not do only the work I needed. Details: A year ago I paid for a service plan that got me proactive service on my HVAC system and prioritized and discounted service for HVAC and plumbing. I have two bathroom sinks that need the stopper repaired. I called them, their technician came out, looked at it, showed me the part that needs to be replaced on each sink, and said he'd come back with an estimate. He also asked me if there was anything else I'd like him to look at. I showed him a minor issue with the handle on one of our toilets. He told me my best bet would be to just get a replacement handle at Home Depot. He then came in with the estimate for the sinks, which involved replacing a lot of hardware (not just the part that was broken) for more than $500. He also had an option to do that work and to replace the entire toilet (which wasn't even part of the service call). I asked him why he couldn't just replace to small part that needs to be replaced. He said I could go to Home Depot and buy that part and do it myself. I said I understood that, but that my expectation is that if I called a plumber they would do that for me and charge me a fee. He went back to talk to his boss and they now said they could replace just the part I needed on both sinks for $200 (which is about what I thought I'd have to pay) but only if I agreed to have them replace the toilet. Needless to say they did not get my business. I'm leaving a one star review but only because Angi won't let me mark it as zero stars."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
