Needed sewage pump replaced and line opened up. Called several others (Barr, A+,Fremyer, Comstock, Tri County) . None knew or cared what to do. I was told various things, call someone else or just ghosted. Powells took the bull by the horns. They tracked down the manufacturer of my old school system here in The Woods and with some detective work diagnosed and replaced pump without digging it all up. Two prior companies had said it needed to be dug up. If you have a REAL problem, call a REAL plumber!

I called them on a Friday morning and they were able to fit me in the same day. From the office personnel to the technicians who responded, everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Kurt and Dave introduced themselves, suited up, and listened to our concerns. They offered sound advice on maintaining a septic system, solved the sewer gas smell by explaining what we should do to maintain the system (they did not have to do any plumbing work on the toilet), then took some time to walk the property, crawl under the house, and probe to accurately identify the location of the septic tank. They were professional, friendly, and explained everything they were doing and what WE should do as home owners. My husband and I were very pleased with the service and advice. When it is time to have our septic system pumped we will use Powell's Plumbing. And, if we have any plumbing issues at all we will call Powell's Plumbing. We thought the price for the service call was very reasonable. Because we found this firm through Angie's List we had a 10% coupon. We Highly recommend Powell's Plumbing.

I live at the top of a small mountain range.  Roads are paved, but there are more than a few switchbacks and steep inclines to get here.  I contacted no less than ten companies trying to find someone willing to come up here to pump my septic tank.  Most wouldn't even return my call or used some central call center that couldn't provide any customer service at all.  The few return calls I got indicated they wouldn't come to the top of the mountain.  It was a very frustrating process until I found Powell's.  They answer their own phones, provided an appointment within two days of my call, called when on their way, arrived on time, and pumped without any issue.  They were done in about an hour.  I HIGHLY recommend this company!  Good customer service is VERY hard to find these days.  Well Powell's has it!

AVOID! UNFAIR BILLING PRACTICES AND DECEIT - I had agreed to and paid for hourly service to repair / replace an outside faucet. The plumber arrived and pulled out the old faucet. He was not able to install the new faucet without an additional tool (a hammer drill). The procurement of this tool was not listed listed or mentioned prior to or at the start of service though common sense would tell me he could see that the faucet was coming out of a brick wall. The company charged me an additional hour and a half worth of time plus an additional $45 for the hammer drill. This almost doubled the final bill. I called and spoke to a supervisor of the facility who was unwilling to make any adjustments to my bill.

"In looking at our records I see we did an alternative septic system inspection May 18, 2015 with noted deficiencies and an estimate was provided to you for the needed repairs. I do not have record of doing the needed repairs. Please provide more information on your complaint."

Called Powell's Office and asked if they could send someone today for frozen pipe. They said yes, we will call when someone is on the way. 5 minutes later they called, someone on the way!!!!
 John arrived within 15 minutes and checked the toilet where the pipe was frozen. He then went into the VERY SMALL crawl space and located the pipe, thawed it out and insulated it. He then closed (with our insulation) the openings in the  foundation walls and  also came outside to check the foundation for other vents. He closed up an additional vent that was open to a wall cavity not the crawl space. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
I want to add that we manage a state owned historic property ,CIRCA 1755, and that every time we have used Powell's we get prompt, excellent service at a fair price.
 I highly recommend them

They showed up on time but made us pay before the would start and i was ok with that . after finishing he explained that the system needed pumping out and that i should do some upgrades . I told them to do it as i no  nothing about systems like this.and it did need pumping as for the other repairs i took them on there word. after a few weeks they called and told my wife the cost but apparently there was a miss communication and when i called them back finely got them to come back . they showed up and again had to pay in full before they would start. at this time they did the work and said the pumped the system . that is where the problem starts had problems with the septic called someone else.  i trust someone one time. so i called  Merritt out with out telling them it had been pumped before and was told it was not done so i am out another 275.00 but this time it was done . I wish i had done some asking around before using them as for what others have told me I never would have used them
  I wish i had talked to john Powell at the beginning as i now see i was mislead by others so i changed my review and plan to use them again on this system the   miscommunication was on the start date and had nothing to with the work . said thing that you don't know who to trust . I will use Powell's  again if they want my business after this
Response from Powell's Plumbing

"We have been waiting for two weeks for Mr. [Member name] to call us back with the name of the company that stated to him we “never” pumped the tank and had heard nothing but terrible things about our company. We stood firm with you on the fact that we do not do business in that manner and we are sorry that you felt that way. You were calling about a tank that was pumped 6 months ago. This is only a 420 gallon trash compartment so with four people living in the house in duration of 6 months there is going to be accumulative solids, which does not mean the tank needs to be pumped. The 420 gallon trash compartment is small for a reason to provide a steady food source to the aeration chamber section of the same tank. Any tank at “operating level” will appear to be full, there is an operating level that your tank should always have and any “licensed” operator knows this. The work we did was a one day job and yes we require payment the day of service. This was stated on the contract sent to you on May 14, 2015. You are failing to say what the “problem” with your septic was that you called a septic pumping company for? Was your line stopped up? That does not mean the tank needed pumped, you called a company to pump the tank and of course they come to pump the tank they are not going to show up in a $100000.00 truck and not pump the tank. This does not mean we did not pump it 6 months ago. I am lost on the “miscommunication part” as well. We did the inspection 4/27/15, you were called with a price to do the repairs, sent a contract 5/14/15 and the work was completed 5/20/15. Mr. Powell has spoken to the septic company that pumped your tank and the company you had perform work on your system 2 weeks ago. The work that was performed had nothing to do with the work we performed and both companies deny your statements that “we never pumped the tank” . Also please keep in mind that in order to perform work on an alternative system that these people are to hold the proper license to do so."

John followed up with the quote
Response from Powell's Plumbing

"Removed mbr info As we have spoken on the phone already I want to apologize yet again. As much as we like to think we are on top of everything all the time sometimes we do fail. It is these types of fail's that we hopefully learn from and find a solution to fix the problem so that it does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and as promised I will follow through with it till the end. Sincerely, John Powell"

On the eve of the Labor Day weekend we called several local (near Berkeley Springs, WV) plumbers, but could not find one who could come so get our well to give us some water.  Powell's, of Winchester, VA, had some guys who could come.  They showed up and solved our problem, including some improvements to the water flow inside the house.  All done in a professional and friendly way.  A totally pleasant and satisfactory experience.
