"I had a tankless water heater installed but needed the gas line to be dug from the other side of the house for it to be connected. The job was complicated but Luke and his crew from Mr. Rooter did a great job! I would totally hire them again for any plumbing needs."

"I had standing water in my yard for some time now and I needed someone asap to adress the drainage problem in my back yard. I contacted them through home advisor and Blaine got back to me within minutes. Within hours he was at my home talking me through the work that would be done and the next day I received a bid. He had an operator on the site within a week of initial contact and the work performed was exactly executed to the specifications they laid out for me for the initial bid. The men were on time everyday and took no breaks except to go on lunch. The work afterwards was immaculate, absolutely perfect, the way I envisioned. Blaine sent me an invoice and it was in the range he quoted me for the work. I would highly recommend them for their professionalism, work ethic, and great pricing for otherwise expensive work. I would highly recommend them"

"These guys were exceptional! Brian was responsive, informative and flexible. His guys were nothing short of miracle workers. They took a job that two other bidders said couldn't be done by one company and they did it. And cleaned up after themselves. I hope I never have a job like this again, but if I do, I'm going with Elliott and Son."

"Keith's was punctual, and was able to quickly locate the septic tank. They uncovered the tank, filled it for inspection, inspected it and the back-flow preventer, located the field lines, and pumped the tank. They provided a field-written report with a site sketch showing the location, along with a discussion of the issues found and recommendations."

"I highly recommend Nate and his crew. They gave us a very reasonable price, had great communication, and performed top of the line work. I was extremely impressed with the footers they dug on our new construction home and would 100% hire them again."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, septic tank companies must be licensed in most states and municipalities to perform services like installation, alteration, repair, and pumping. Since laws vary by location, it's crucial to check local requirements.

Hiring an unlicensed professional can lead to poor work, code violations, and significant fines. Always verify that your chosen company is properly licensed and fully insured to avoid liability. You can use tools like Angi’s contractor licensing search to check a pro's credentials.

It's also helpful to understand the difference between licensing and certification. A license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are voluntary. Credentials like the “Angi Approved” badge indicate that a business meets extra standards, such as passing a background check and maintaining a high rating.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

Yes, a septic tank riser can replace a concrete septic tank lid. Risers are designed to replace various types of septic tank covers, including concrete, metal, and fiberglass, to provide easier access for pumping and repairs. While a plastic riser makes future access more convenient, the initial replacement can be difficult because concrete lids are very heavy, so it is a job best left to professionals. Once installed, you will need to be cautious around the riser during yard work, such as mowing, to avoid causing damage.

Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.
