"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

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

Deciding between an engineered septic system and a conventional one depends on property size, soil quality, local regulations, and environmental factors. If your property has limited space, poor soil, or is close to sensitive environmental features, an engineered system may be required. Professional site evaluations, considering water usage, long-term plans, and budget constraints, can help determine the appropriate choice. Consulting with a septic system professional is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations and selecting the best system for your property's unique needs.

How to size a well pressure tank is determined by three factors: flow rate, or how many gallons per minute your well pump produces; minimum runtime; and pressure switch setting. Most pressure tanks have a pressure switch operating at 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60—the first number is the pressure needed for the pump to turn on, and the second number is the pressure needed for the pump to switch off. Most homeowners relying on well water require a water pressure tank ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. 

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.
