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.

Finding a Reliable Sewer Septic Service

Comments Off on Finding a Reliable Sewer Septic Service

Whether you need septic tank pumping, your sewer line cleared, or some other sewer septic service, you want to find a reputable sewer septic company that you can count on for good service and who will be around in case any problems arise down the road.

The phone book or the internet is a good place to start, but you should also ask your family, neighbors, friends and co-workers if they can recommend a sewer septic company that they have used and had good luck with.  They may also be able to tell you who to avoid.

Check out each of the sewer septic companies at the Better Business Bureau to see if they have any complaints.  Check online ratings services like Angie’s List or Yahoo to see if you can find any good or bad ratings.  Remember that one or two bad ratings don’t mean much, but a steady stream of negative ratings is a good reason to look elsewhere.

Call each sewer septic company that is still on your list and ask them for a few references.  A reputable sewer septic company will be proud of its hard earned reputation and will be happy to provide the contact information for a few satisfied customers.  Follow up by calling the references and asking if they would use the sewer-septic service again.

Finally, check to see if the sewer septic service has a permanent business address, telephone number, business license and insurance.    These are signs of a stable business with a long term interest of providing good service to your community.
