Prior to purchasing our home one year ago, we called Y to have them pump and inspect the septic. We lived out of town, so weren't there to observe. So, one month later, we called them back over to show us where the lid was located, as the soil in the backyard hadn't been disturbed. We just wanted to know where to find our septic system as the plat wasn't specific. Our house is on a unique property, not a cookie-cutter lot. Y couldn't find it again. Fast forward one year. Toilets were overflowing in the house, so we needed help. Y told us to call their friend at X Plumbing. X sent cameras down the pipes from the roof and told us we had a broken terra cotta pipe from the house to the septic and it needed to be replaced. He also found the septic lid and said it had been "years, if ever" since it had been dug up. (He later denied ever saying that, but I took a video of his conversation with me while he dug.) Upon opening the lid, he discovered septic didn't have a Sanitary-Tee. At this point, we weren't impressed with Y, so we decided to call Blount and start all over. Blount's septic team and plumber (a Blount employee) were faster, better communicators and PROVED they did what they also showed needed to be done, using a camera and video. They installed a "Sanitary-Tee" that should have been installed years ago, but Y never mentioned it when they supposedly drained and inspected the tank a year ago. (Y said on their receipt that the septic was "in working order.") Blount also showed us we didn't need a "broken, terra-cotta pipe" replaced from the house to the septic as X recommended; that pipe is a high-quality PVC and is in perfect condition. Blount will definitely have our business in the future.

A different plumber from the one who quoted the job came to do the work, and he actually did more than the original quote, BUT still only charged us what was quoted. He said he had a better solution for the exterior drain, instead of into the garage which is Code, but not really "nice". He put a drain to the outside, and made sure the steam valve was hooked up properly too. We really like what they did, and would use them again.

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
It’s a good idea to drain your pipes to prevent them from freezing if you’re expecting extremely cold temperatures or planning to be away from your home for an extended period of time during the winter. You may be able to avoid draining your pipes if you insulate outdoor pipes and keep your home heated to a minimum temperature of 55 degrees.
The average life of your plumbing depends on what material your plumbing is made of. CPVC piping lasts 50 to 70 years, brass, iron, or steel last 50 to 70 years, and copper lasts 50 to 100 years. The longest-lasting piping is PEX, which can hold up for 80 to 100 years.
Regardless of the pipe type, proper maintenance is the best way to ensure a long life span.
A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.
A toilet flange secures your toilet in place to the floor, and connects your toilet to the drain pipe that carries its contents to the sewer. Obvious signs that your flange needs replacement include when it can’t keep up with these two functions. If your toilet rocks back and forth or you see leaks coming from the bottom of your toilet, it’s time for a replacement. Other signs that your toilet flange is broken or faulty may include loose tiles or soft flooring around the toilet, and sewage smells.
A shower valve that’s gone bad can cause a number of problems. You may experience low water pressure, inconsistent water temperature, leaking, or a faulty knob that won’t turn. These are all signs that you may need to replace the valve to restore your shower to working order.
