"Really glad i found Best Plumbing. Hired them to replace a shower pan and liked them so much that I had them replace shower doors and put in a new water heater as well. Fair pricing and always prompt, it felt like they went over and above what I was expecting. I would not hesitate to recommend Best Plumbing to anyone!"

"They arrived on time. Left the bathroom where the work was done clean. The job was done correctly and I haven't had any problems with their installation. There was a mistake in the billing - it was supposed to go to a different address and wasn't received so they added a late fee. When I called them about it they fixed it - I was happy. Note: The price charged included the cost of the new toilet, I had a sink and they were fine with installing that."

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

"Thank you (American Mechanical) for the excellent service you provided. We are extremely pleased with the holding tank installation and all the extra work involved in acquiring permits, county approvals etc., all done in a very professional manner. Every thing was completed in the exact time frame that you said it would be and we are very appreciative of that. If you want your job done right the first time then I highly recommend American Mechanical for your job. Sincerely, Dick K."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

While dry wells can be effective for managing rainwater, they have several disadvantages. They can become clogged with sediment, especially after large storms, which reduces their effectiveness and can be difficult to clean. Dry wells are also not suitable for all soil types; they will not function properly in soil with low permeability. Additionally, if a dry well is not large enough to handle the amount of rainfall in your area, it can overflow. For gravity-flow models, the water may disperse very slowly, depending on the well's depth and the soil's permeability.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

The lifespan of your well casing depends mainly on the material it’s made from. Stainless steel and galvanized steel casings are designed to withstand the pressures and environment of deep-water wells but are susceptible to corrosion. Most steel casings last from 20 to 35 years, on average. PVC casing is highly durable and, if used correctly, can last up to 50 years.

While a traditional septic tank requires a leach field for wastewater disposal, it is possible to have a septic system without one. Some alternative systems, which are often used when there isn't enough space for a full-size leach field, include mound systems or sand filtration systems. In a conventional setup, the leach field is essential because it's where the wastewater goes after leaving the tank.

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.
