"Robert was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was early for the scheduled appointment and was able to flush out my water tank in a timely fashion. He also fixed my bathroom sink without charge! He was extremely kind and curteous. I will be working with Robert for my home needs moving forward. High recommend!"
"Had Groundworks install a drainage system and sump pump in our home’s crawl space. Anthony and his crew, Jordon, Uriel, and James were Outstanding. It was a three day job. They were on time every day and worked their tails off each day. It was a muddy job in cramped quarters. They never complained. Anthony kept me updated on the progress they made each day. Anthony shared pictures of the job as it progressed. They cleaned up the job site each day. Anthony went over all the details at the completion of the job and answered all of my questions. The whole process was Great. From the initial inspection done by Kristy to the office staff and the installation. The communication was also Great. I highly recommend Groundworks for a complete and thorough job."
"Eric and James did a fantastic job educating me on everything about my bathroom shower remodel. They did everything they can to help make this affordable."
"I strongly recommend this company with a family owned business.

professional and really feel like a family
The quality was great and I felt good to leave my house, knowing that I have direct installers working in this company.
Was done on time"
"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"
"The company's field repr. (whose name unfortunately I have forgotten) met me at the property on time and prepared. He gave me about an hour of his time and expertise for NO Charge - during which he viewed the problems with my mobile home and attached, unpermitted deck (a slow slipping and separating between the home and the deck.) He explained his company's policies and procedures, including the advisement that we'd want to hire an independent structural engineer to perform a thorough analysis of the loads and existing (substandard) bracing and supports, and render an opinion and a "prescription" for Terra Firma to work against as to components required to cure the problems. It all seemed very logical, well-thought-out and professional. It turned out that my wife and I decided the scope of the work required and the time to accomplish it went beyond our time frame to secure a habitable dwelling so we went no farther. But, if our situation had been different, I feel confident we'd very happily hire Terra Firma to handle the entire project."
"Overall results were great. Extremely happy with the end results of the project. Stairs demo, landing flooring replacement, guest bath complete remodel. Andy is very meticulous about how things come out, which reflects the pride he takes in his work. Would definitely recommend."
Yes, you can have a toilet without a septic tank. However, it will have to be a composting toilet. Composting toilets work similarly to aerobic septic systems in that the waste, which sits in a separate compartment below the toilet itself, is slowly broken down by aerobic bacteria. These toilets typically have a vent to get rid of harmful gasses with a fan, which requires a battery. You will have to dispose of waste in the toilet manually every three weeks to every three months, depending on how many people are using the toilet.
The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You’ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you.
Generally, toilet leaking is not an emergency unless the leakage is severe. However, any leakage at the bottom should be addressed as soon as possible because it could lead to water damage to the floors, under the tiles, or into the walls. Leaks at the bottom can also lead to mold growth if unaddressed.
Yes, you can fix pipe threads. In fact, the process is the same as cutting new ones. You’ll need to use a pipe threader tool with the proper size die head for the pipe. Turning the threader over the damaged threads will clean up any damaged or worn-out threads in the pipe. If the pipe threads are too damaged, this process may not work, and you’ll need to replace the pipe.
