I liked his professionalism a lot. HOWEVER, the and quot;crewand quot; he sent out spoke no English...at all. They did get right to work, worked hard and amp; appeared to know what they were doing. UNTIL they dug up the back patio and found our septic system. Before they notified us, they had taken the cover off, hid it in the back, cut the main sewer pipe and then showed us (we don't speak enough Spanish to communicate effectively). We kept telling them to get someone out to our house that could communicate effectively. I had told them in English to do nothing until George came out to our house. He never showed, never came to check on the crew or returned our calls. His and quot;crewand quot; CUT the main sewer pipe, leading to our septic. This pipe was for the main bathroom in our house. The rest of the house is hooked up to the city sewer system. The septic was grandfathered in. I tried to tell them this. They didn't listen/didn't understand/didn't care. After completing the job, they were supposed to repair the concrete. The patch they put on our sidewalk and patio was about 1/4and quot; - 1and quot; thick and could be broken up by using a rock, a screwdriver or a small hammer. The concrete crumbled easily. It was not floated well and amp; was ridged and was a tripping hazard.
They completed leveling the house, and it appears to be much more level than it was. I don't really know...Mr. Coffing never came back to check on the job. He never came and did repeat measurements. If he would have answered our calls, we would have known he had no intention of doing so.
The morning after they finished we had to make an emergency trip to Buffalo, NY to take care of my father in law. We were gone almost a month.
When we got back in town and amp; we immediately noticed the main bathroom was non-functional. The toilet would not drain, the bathtub would not drain, and the sink wouldn't either. We rented a drain snake twice to try and clear it out. Both times we got thick mud. My husband then used a screwdriver to remove the concrete patch over the drain and septic. We found where they had cut the main sewer pipe, stuffed it with mud and dumped all the concrete from the patio in our septic system. I wandered to the back of our back yard and found the septic cover, hidden with some leaves.
We called Mr. Coffing repeatedly. After 5 or 6 calls, he finally returned our phone call. He basically blew us off, saying it wasn't his problem and amp; I had to deal with it on my own. I told him the workers were instructed to leave the septic alone, that it was functional, but he said he didn't care. He claims his workers told us about it and told us to destroy it. That's a mistruth on his part. It wound up that we had to repair it on our own, to the cost of $8,000.00.
If you value your money, do not use this guy. He cannot be trusted. His workers are liars. He refuses to listen to his customers is a very poor businessman. He does not check on his workers, or check their work. He does not come back to make sure the work is done right either.

I can not believe that I have now been without hot water for 12 days and Legend Plumbing cannot replace one part on their tank after this long! Hey guys, why do not you try boiling hot water for your children and yourself so that you could take a bath in winter. If I was the owner of this...

The principal, Jay Gomez, answered the phone himself and gave me a quote for the service call, instructed me how to shut off the system to prevent further leaking and damage, and was on the scene within an hour, as promised. Jay was extremely knowledgeable and efficient, and very neat and...

"I needed a solution to redirecting water that was pooling in my yard from my home’s gutter downspouts. The downspouts needed to be buried and moved away from the house, some drains added and low lawn spots regraded. After a number of consults from other companies trying to sell me costly drain systems and unneeded products, Freedom Land Services was clearly the best choice and top tier. Consultation, punctuality, professionalism, expertise, communication, fast completion, no up-selling and honest pricing, informative, and my yard was left so very clean and tidy during the project and after.

FAQs for septic tank service projects in Shavano Park, TX
The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.
Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.
A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.
Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
