I am dedicated to providing my clients with the very best in service, installation, and repair to meet your plumbing needs. I specialize in mechanical piping and a variety of residential and commercial services. I take pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects I am involved with. I'm known for our quality work and the integrity of my business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with my clients, and guarantee my satisfaction.

"Joe, came to my home to because I had no water. We had agreed upon 8:00 am he text and said he would be there by 7:30. When he arrived I showed him the garage where the house equipment was located. The first thing he noticed was that the water tank switch was installed incorrectly (the switch has been there for 27 years) I had the home built. Then he notice something not up to code. Showed him the well pump and he assess the pump. Joe then tells me my pump failed and would need to be replaced. The price would be 3,500 for the pump and 800.00 to replace the electrical components inside the well. I kindly paid him the $60.00 service fee and said good bye. The next company came at 10:00 am and replaced my pump in about 40 minutes and saved me over $2,000.00! This company stated my wiring was good and everything was fine inside the garage. Folks do your research- if something does not seem right it?s NOT! He left my breaker switch off and turned my range off breaker off!"

"Tony Hall was awesome. I know of JES since they started in the area but never had any reason to request a free inspection until I wanted to assess the condition of my crawlspace prior to selling the house. I learned so much about the function of a crawlspace and the current condition of mine. His inspection did not reveal any emergent issues with my 25 year old house but he did take the time to show me about encapsulating my crawlspace which will improve insulation properties and keep the area just about maintenance free. Included is a 25 year warranty which is transferable should I sell the house. I completely recommend JES and their inspector Tony Hall. I will be calling them to inspect and make recommendations to my next home when purchased."

Our experience is serving our customers with 100% satisfaction on every project we take on. We will give you the peace of mind you need and deserve. Art's Plumbing Service, Inc., happily services the community with integrity, professionalism, and competitive pricing. We are fully licensed and insured, and have built a reputation for quality work with each satisfied customer. I have been in the plumbing business for over 20 yrs. Here's a description of various of jobs I perform service on: Water heaters (all types), Garbage disposal, Faucet repair or installations, Toilet repair or installations, Sump pumps, Sewer or water line repairs or replacements, Re pipes on sewer or water lines for whole house, Frozen or broken pipes, Install new fixtures, New Construction or Renovation work. Specializing in Gas Service work, Gas line Install, Repair or Replacement. Service counties or cities: Chesterfield, Henrico, Richmond, Colonial Heights. I accept all Major credit cards. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce you to our company.

"They showed up on time, checked out my new sink, faucet set and drain for completeness and compatibility, then went to work removing the old hardware. The sink would not come loose from the countertop, because the installer used construction adhesive instead of caulking, but they guys figured out a way to make it happen without damaging my countertop. Neal noticed the lever control on my new faucet was installed backwards from the factory, and carefully disassembled it and made it right without leaving a single scratch or mark on my new faucet. After everything was installed, they went over the whole thing with a fine tooth comb to be sure everything worked as it should with no leaks, including letting the faucet heat up with hot water and chill down with cold water. They left my kitchen immaculately clean around the work area and carried away all the old parts. Those three guys worked 7.5 hours, not letting a couple of setbacks deter them, finding a way forward, and left me a very happy customer. They were punctual, cordial, polite, knowledgeable and professional. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Ensuring you have adequate space for your engineered septic system is crucial. You’ll need to reserve approximately 900 square feet for a three-bedroom home’s system. However, the type of soil you have, soil absorption rate, the size of your home, climate, and local zoning code will impact the actual amount of space you need.

You can find your septic tank using a few different methods. For one, you can check your property records at your local municipal office. You can also inspect your yard looking for a depression, a septic tank lid, or lush septic-area vegetation which would indicate a leach field. You can also follow your pipes from the home to the yard. If you can't find your septic tank on your own, a local septic pro can help.

There are no major drawbacks or risks to oversizing a well pressure tank for your well. In some cases, having a larger pressure tank can increase its lifespan as it won’t have to cycle on and off as often, resulting in less wear and tear. Keep in mind that larger pressure tanks have a higher upfront cost and take up more space.

Another common question is, what pressure should your well tank be set at? The standard rule of thumb is to set your well tank’s pressure at 2 psi below the cut-on point of your pressure switch. So if your well is set up for a high cycle of 40/60 psi, your pressure should be set to 38 psi. If you use a low setting of 30/50 psi, you would set the pressure to 28 psi.

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.
