Comments Off on Importance of a Comprehensive Septic Inspection

When it comes time to buy or sell a home, there are many factors to consider. If the home in question has a septic system, ensuring the system is working correctly is important to both buyers and sellers. A problem with the septic system can stall the sale process. Scheduling a comprehensive septic system inspection should be on the top of the list for both buyers and sellers during a home sale transaction.

The septic system is one of the most expensive and necessary components of a home. No one wants to buy a home and find out after the sale is complete that there are major problems. A new septic system can cost tens of thousands of dollars to install. Septic inspections are vital and required in most areas before a home sale can be completed.

Finding a Dependable Septic Inspector

Even if a seller has had a septic inspection performed, it can be worth the investment for buyers to have their own inspection performed. Buyers need to know if there are any issues with a septic system that could cost them substantial repairs in the near future. Hiring a qualified septic inspector is a wise investment. Some qualifications to look for include:

  • Licensed and insured
  • Excellent reputation in the local area for honesty and integrity
  • Thorough inspection of all major septic system components
  • Knowledgeable inspectors that have years of experience

Septic system problems should be resolved before any home sale. If you are buying or selling a home, schedule a septic inspection to ensure there are no issues that could stop the sale process. Find a local septic company that has an excellent reputation to perform the needed inspection to ensure the system is up to local codes.

Shopping For A Sewer Contractor

November 19th, 2014 Posted in Septic System Maintenance
Comments Off on Shopping For A Sewer Contractor

Both sewer line repairs and replacement can be a large, albeit necessary, expense. When it comes time to schedule these types of sewer repairs, you may be concerned about the price you will pay for the project. However, you also need to know the sewer contractor you hire is honest, reliable and experienced. Before hiring any sewer contractor, make sure you shop around for not only a fair price, but also a contractor who will provide quality workmanship and stand behind their service.

Tips On Hiring A Sewer Contractor

When shopping for a sewer contractor, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Depending on what type of repair is needed, where you live and your budget, there may be a vast difference in contractors who are qualified to perform the service. While many plumbing companies offer sewer repair or replacement services, not all may be certified to work on your sewer pipe problem. Some factors to research while looking for your contractor include:

  • Side sewer contractors. If you are on a city sewer system, you may need a certified or registered side sewer contractor. Some municipalities require a side sewer contractor to work on certain portions of the sewer line between your home and the city sewer connection.
  • Experience. Check the amount of experience each contractor has, and ask for local referrals. You want a company with an excellent reputation for quality work and service.
  • Sewer repair or replacement options. Find out what type of repair or replacement options the sewer contractor offers. Many contractors offer trenchless options or pipe relining, which can be less expensive and invasive than traditional trenched repairs or replacement.

Every homeowner should have a reliable sewer contractor they can call for both scheduled services and in a sewer emergency. Take the time to find an experienced sewer company with the right credentials and reputation before using them to perform your important sewer repairs.

Internet Reviews of Sewer-Septic Contractors

Comments Off on Internet Reviews of Sewer-Septic Contractors

If you need septic tank pumping, a sewer line repair, a septic tank inspection, or to have  a new sewer line or septic system installed, it can be difficult to choose a reputable sewer septic professional who will provide top quality service at reasonable rates. You can find local sewer septic companies on the internet or in the phonebook, but how can you tell the difference between those that offer great service and the ones who just want your money?

The internet can be your friend in this situation.  There are many websites that allow or even encourage customers to post reviews on all sorts of consumer goods and services including sewer-septic contractors.  Used wisely, internet reviews can help you find a great sewer-septic professional.

The first thing to keep in mind is that most review websites do not screen the reviews or verify that the reviewers are genuine customers of the company.  If anyone can post an anonymous review, you could see extremely positive reviews that were actually posted by the company itself or by professionals paid to write positive reviews.  One clue that a positive review may be bogus is a lengthy, well written, very positive review posted at about the same time as several similar reviews.

Reviews from genuine customers are posted randomly throughout the year and often contain typographical, spelling, and grammar errors.  They also often have details about the work that was completed.

Highly negative reviews can be bogus as well.  These can be posted unscrupulous competitors, fired employees, or anyone else who wants to hurt the ratings of this company.  They are generally vague and offer few details to support the negative review.

Once you have eliminated any reviews suspected of being bogus, you should be able to find a consensus among the remaining reviews that will give you an indication of whether or not this sewer septic contractor can be expected to provide good service.
