"Great experience Justin, Nate & Timothy were awesome. Very knowledgeable, professional & curious. Aside from the cleanliness they delivered an experience. I highly recommend HL bowman if you want rapid service on your HVAC. Pricing was reasonable in my opinion & financing is an option. Keep in mind when seeking quotes for your HVAC repair/ new install you must consider performance over equipment, that is if your want a good system that will have a good run/life span."

"We called in the morning and Juan arrived at noon. He was here almost 3 hours. Initially, he thought he could get through with his regular motorized snake and he also said he'd have to replace the trap and the arm as it was welded to the pipe. The cost for both was to be $347. He worked for 2 and a half hours, replaced the trap and arm, though he had to cut through the old tiles to reach the T on the stack. He cleaned the connection from the second sink and was able to break through everything in the main pipe up till about the last 6 inches. There it was rock solid. So he had to go to a larger snake which upped the cost, but did the job without breaking the pipe. He substituted the cost of the large snake for the cost of the smaller one instead of charging for both and gave us a 10% d/c so we were pleased about that. It was a tough job and he persevered so we shouldn't have any further problems."

"America Drain Cleaning came to our site to service a drain clog in the sewer line between the building and the street connection.  The drain piping was complex and difficult to clear.  The guys that showed up on site stuck with it and worked the problem until the line was cleared.  They went above and beyond.  I was extremely happy with the work that was done and would recommend them to you.  Great guys too.

"Paul didn't blink at removing the old septic tank; whereas, others we spoke with wanted to put a new tank in next to the existing tank.  Paul came in with his guys on the days he said they would be there and cleaned up each day.  The work looks neat and well done. There was no damage to curbing from the heavy equipment and minor turf repairs were completed. All access points to the system are neatly set at grade.  The only thing that could have gone better was proactive communication around things like when we could use water and when we couldn't, not a big deal in the end.  Pricing was competitive.  Paul was present and involved in the job and they completed the work in 2 days, which was the bottom end of his estimated time."

"RCM came to reconstruct our draining system, as well as remove an oil tank from our front lawn. The draining system along side of our home was done very efficiently and so far has been operating beautifully. The oil tank in our front lawn was a lot more work than anticipated. To our surprise, the tank was larger than expected but Bob and his team adapted to the situation and took care of what needed to be done. Overall, Bob is very skilled in his line of work, and he and his team have done a great job with all of the work they’ve done for us. Would hire again!"

"I hired Westbrook enterprise when my septic system was found to be too old and broken down to be usable. It was already a difficult period in my life, so I was thankful for the straight forward approach. When they installed the system they also removed several abandoned cars that where left of the property prior to me taking it over. Several other people had offered to take the cars but none did. While they were here I also contracted with them to fix my gravel driveway. My driveway was completed yesterday and is a 100% improvement from the driveway I had before. Overall the experience was a positive one. I found that they used quality materials. 1) have them handle the testing and design portion of the process. 2) the testing and design process takes a while to complete. 3) this work is weather contingent. Wet whether will delay the contraction time line. 4) this type of work requires digging in the ground. This may result in some uneven ground during construction, and settling that occurs after construction. They said they would be back in spring to fix any settling that may have occurred over the winter."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

While dry wells can be effective for managing rainwater, they have several disadvantages. They can become clogged with sediment, especially after large storms, which reduces their effectiveness and can be difficult to clean. Dry wells are also not suitable for all soil types; they will not function properly in soil with low permeability. Additionally, if a dry well is not large enough to handle the amount of rainfall in your area, it can overflow. For gravity-flow models, the water may disperse very slowly, depending on the well's depth and the soil's permeability.

A septic perc test is done by drilling a hole into the ground, filling the hole with water, and testing to see how long it drains. While simple, the test itself provides a great deal of information about your yard. The last thing you want to do is skip a perc test only to discover your yard doesn’t drain sewage effectively.

Drain fields often include three to five trenches that are 18 to 24 inches deep. The pipes connecting the drain field to the septic tank will be placed between 12 and 18 inches deep, and the field as a whole will be about 100 feet long.

Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.
