"We met with Justin from Wells Septic. He and his assistants took a look at the area of concern, trying to assess the possible reasons that might be causing this area to stay muddy. They were the second set of eyes to look at the area, because we first had our irrigation system company see if it was caused by a leak. Irrigation leaks were ruled out.
Jason and Sebastian looked in the downspouts with special equipment, pulled back the sod, prodded with iron rods and checked the water meter to make sure something wasn't causing the water to run. We live on a spring-fed lake, so we thought perhaps the water had found its way a little further into the property.
Jason mentioned that they had previously had a customer with a wet area in the yard that appeared right behind their deck. They could not determine the source of the water there either. They had resolved that issue by installing a French drain. So, we decided that would be the first attempt at a solution to get this area dry.
Jason and Sebastian and another employee hand dug the area about two feet down in the shape of a T. They surrounded the specialized pipe with gravel and replaced as much sod as they could. At the time, the sod was very wet and heavy. It was very likely difficult to handle, so they covered the area the best they could. A couple of weeks later, they returned to reshape the area better once the ground had dried out.
As I write, the area is not only dry, but it is ready for our commercial mower to continue to take care of the yard without fear of losing his equipment in the bog!
Wells Septic was very responsive and we appreciate they were experienced and able to solve the problem. We would certainly call them again and would recommend them for similar work.

"Great! The plumber who came to our house had 40+ years of experience. He knew exactly how to address our plumbing problems and even educated me on how to easily and simply test for toilet seal leaks and how to keep the kitchen drains and garbage disposal in better condition. I really appreciated that! He worked extra hard at unsticking the garbage disposal blades to save us the cost of purchasing a new one when ours was still in good condition. I felt he treated our house and our plumbing problems with as much care and thought as he would his own. But that's typical of the experience I've had with this company through about 15 years of using their services. They are exceptional!"

"I would highly recommend A1 Pro Services. My recommendation is going to read like others--From the moment I first contacted them to get a quote for replacing my main water line, they were on top of everything. They came out to inspect the line, gave me a quote that beat the competition by $3600. They arrived promptly to complete the work and did a fantastic job running the new line. When they finished they cleaned up the front yard and everything looks great."

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
