"This is at least the second time that we have used Barbosa. When Steve showed up on time I recognized him from the first time. Just as before, he was kind and polite. He looked over the situation and started doing his job. (We have a unique situation since our original home is over 100 years old. Part of what needs pumped is near our goat pen, so there was straw mixed in with the "regular" household waste.) He did the best that he could to get out the "regular stuff" and allowed me to spray some water to try to loosen more up. He was pleasant and helpful during all of this time. He even put the doors back down for me and closed up the shed. Also, I need to recognize the office staff too. I had called another service and was playing phone tag with them for three days. After no return call on the fourth day, I looked for another company and tried Barbosa. She answered promptly, found our records from 3 years ago, and got us scheduled within two business days! She reviewed the payment amount, ways to pay and told us the service man's name who would be out. All the time with a cheerful tone in her voice. I have put their number in my phone for Septic and they will be who we call from now on!"

"Don and crew were great! We lost water and they came out and confirmed it was a break in the wiring to the pump. They explained why we experience this issue and advised how they would fix it as well as additional service we will need to prevent any further disruptions. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great price. We will definitely use them again for all plumbing issues."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Verify your permitting requirements before starting any plumbing projects, as local townships enforce strict building codes. Any well or septic modifications demand state permits and certified specialists. In Effort, check your planned community rules to confirm if you use private or community water systems. Additionally, the rocky, shallow soil in the Pocono region increases the difficulty of installing buried supply lines or septic tanks.

Helpful?

Skipping maintenance on water softeners or iron filters accelerates scale buildup inside your pipes. Flushing non-biodegradable items or overusing your garbage disposal disrupts on-lot septic systems, leading to backups. In Effort, leaving pipes uninsulated during freezing weather or improperly winterizing a vacation home causes severe pipe failures. Test your well water annually to catch chemical changes before they corrode your plumbing.

Helpful?

Discolored water, sulfur odors, or sudden pressure drops indicate failing well pumps or water treatment systems. Slow drains and sewage odors point to failed septic connections. In PA, water stains discovered in the spring signal that pipes froze and burst over the winter. Inspect your home for blue-green copper staining or leaking polybutylene pipes, as these require complete plumbing replacement to prevent severe water damage.

Helpful?

Hard, iron-rich well water in PA causes rapid sediment accumulation, meaning water heaters require frequent plumbing work and replacement. Well system components, including pressure tanks and pumps, experience significant wear over time. Monitor your crawl space supply lines and outdoor hose bibs, as these freeze easily. Finally, inspect the connection between your house and septic tank for root intrusion or ground movement damage.

Helpful?

Severe winter cold in Effort requires contractors to bury water supply lines below the deep frost line to prevent freezing. Heavy snowfall and subsequent spring thaws create high groundwater conditions, which overwhelm septic drain fields and flood basements. During humid summers, condensation forms on cold water pipes and accelerates metal corrosion. Always winterize seasonal properties early to protect your plumbing from severe freeze damage.
