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.

We, the foster parents, fared not as well from all the stress! Their proficiency, dedication and caring attitude way exceed any expectation!

I called two different companies, and Prince was the one with the most reasonable price, personable plumber, and availability. 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
In most cases, a plumber will install a sink and vanity. However, plumbers only install these features if the options you've chosen require straightforward installation without a need for custom carpentry. Make sure you outline your expectations to confirm that your plumber is capable of handling the full project.
Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages.
To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.
A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
Draining a pool with a garden hose can take between eight and 14 hours depending on the depth of your pool and whether you use a sump pump. Be sure to stay close to the pool during this time to ensure the structure of your pool remains unharmed and that the water drains properly.
