"The repair work was well done. I had no idea it would take 2 people. The first quote was for a lower price but then they did not have the parts so I said OK to the more expensive option. But then they were not able to do the more expensive option so they went and got the part for the lower price option. But ultimately they charged me for the higher price option. I have called three days in a row and have not been able to resolve the price discrepancy."

"They charged $98 to come give me an estimate for swapping our a shower valve cartridge, which was fine, but the pricing they provided was completely unreasonable, $1,000. They were unwilling to provide any detail for the price. I ended up buy the part myself for $30 and replaced it in 30 minutes."

We are a septic and sewer tank pumping company. We service, repair, and maintain all types of septic systems, as well as for sale and other required inspections. We also provide commercial grease trap pumping. We are a small family owned company that have had 15 plus years of experience with a reputable company and decided to break out on our own. J & G septic services offers free quotes on your septic and sewer needs, and offers discounts to military, fire, police and rescue members. We accept all major credit cards, cash or checks.

"We had our septic worked on March 21,2025. We were referred to this company by our realtor who used them in previous transactions with the company agreeing to allow payment at time of closing on the house sale. The owner of the company agreed to do the work with payment taken out at the closing of our house on March 31st. Despite this agreement I received an invoice the day of the work completion and a late payment notice two days after. I was told not to pay as there was an agreement to pay at settlement on March 31. Our closing ended up getting pushed back due to our buyer with no fault of our own. This was communicated to the company. On April 9 I was sent an email from Sara stating that they were not a bank and would refer the acct to collections. I asked why they were going back on their agreement to allow us to pay at closing and was told I could talk to their lawyer. I agreed to pay before this and was sent to an invoice link that didn’t work and therefore I couldn’t pay. The next day I received a new invoice for charges that included a lawyer consult and the fee for issuing my husband and I a warrant of debt, despite telling them multiple times we were paying. I called the court system and there was no warrant or legal filings. Sara completely fabricated an invoice in an attempt to get more money out of my family. We paid for this service and I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy. I am positive there will be a reply justifying this behavior, however, I think it’s imperative to future consumers that you understand this company has terrible customer service and absolutely no concept of legal contracts and the proper way to request payments. Avoid at all costs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Think of a leach field and septic tank as the peanut butter and jelly of wastewater management. They go together. However, it is possible to have a septic tank without a leach field, as some types of septic systems don't require them. For example, your home may have a septic mound rather than a leach field or a sand filtration system, instead.

Your toilet will still flush if the septic tank is full, but it might flush more slowly. It may make gurgling sounds as the wastewater slowly drains through the pipes. You may also notice the toilet clogs up more frequently when the septic tank is full, although this can also be a sign of other plumbing issues, like a clog in the pipes.

The average life span of a well pump is between 15 and 25 years, but a few factors can influence how long your well pump lasts. Excessive water demand and cycle frequency are the main causes of premature wear and tear. The well pump’s motor size as well as material and installation quality can also affect its life span.

Septic tank costs vary with the size of the tank—and the size you need depends on the size of your household. For example, a 1,000-gallon septic tank is the minimum size for most 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom homes, and costs between $900 and $1,500. However, the tank is only one part of the septic system—which costs significantly more to install. If you’re setting up a new septic system (rather than replacing an existing tank), you can expect to pay about $7,310 on average. Costs can be higher depending on the type of septic system you choose.

A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.
