I purchased my home about 3 years ago. It has 2 septic systems, one for each end of the house. I did not know the location of the systems, and wanted to locate the tanks in order to have them serviced and determine the condition of both systems. I was converting a 1/2 bath into a full bath, and needed plumbing roughed in. I needed to flip the location of the existing toilet and sink and add a shower. The existing bath is on a slab, and required cutting the concrete floor to rough in the plumbing, and slope the concrete floor in preparation for adding a shower drain. At the same time, I wanted to replace the existing water heater that supplied this and an adjacent bath with a new hot water unit. The existing 1/2 bath is 4' x 5' and stealing space from a closet the new bath is only 4' x 8', adding only the space for a 3' x 4' shower. I called to schedule an appointment, and discussed my needs with a plumbing supervisor who wanted to send a plumber who would be in the area stop by to look things over before scheduling the service call. In preparation for the call, I stripped the existing walls down to the studs to make the access to the existing plumbing easy. The first plumber showed up to look at the project as scheduled, and recommended scoping the drains with a camera to determine where the septic cleanouts were located, and to inspect the existing drain line in the 1/2 bath to quote the rough in for the new bath. I provided a set of dimensioned drawing of the existing bath, a detailed drawing of the new bath with measurements, all the fixture specification sheets to eliminate any guesswork as I had already purchased them. The supervisor called to discuss the project, and I sent a PDF of all the documentation to him directly per our conversation, and we scheduled an appointment to have the camera inspection and septic location preformed. The plumber who was to show up did not call until 1/2 day after he was to have shown up to reschedule. He showed up for the second appointment on time, and scoped the lines in the 1/2 bath, and located the septic cleanout for the septic system on that side of the house. In what seemed to me at the time to be about an hour. At that point, he told me he had another appointment scheduled, and would have to come back to locate the 2nd septic system, and would call me to schedule it. He didn't call back for several days, so I called him. He apologized. Said that he had broken the scope, that he'd told his boss someone else had broken it, and it needed to be repaired, and would call to reschedule as soon as it was repaired. Weeks later, I called the office thinking they had forgotten about me. They said the unit was out for repaire, and they would call to reschedule as soon as it was back. I also discussed the quote for the bathroom rough-in with the supervisor responsible for preparing the quote. He told me I should have it shortly. I received the quote a few days later. They never called back to finish the 1st job. I did receive a bill dated two months after the first service call for $427.13. The bill detail was for $307.13 was travel and "truck charge" and $100 for "sewer camera." The Budgetary Quote to rough in the plumbing and slope the concrete floor was $6,712.00. The quote did not include a water heater any or carpentry, but they included setting the fixtures, which couldn't be done without the electric, walls, or tile work. At no point did I receive a call saying they did not intend to provide a new hot water heater, and they never called back to finish the job of locating the other septic system. I had used them right after moving into the house, to re-route the lines in the laundry room, install a new water softener, run new water lines for laundry hookups, and install both a laundry tub and replace the old kitchen sink and lines. They'd preformed that work, which also involved cutting the concrete floor well. They were in and out in one day and I was very satisfied. But after this disappointment, I won't be using or recommending them again.

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Hydetown, PA
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
