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.

Choosing a Good Septic System Contractor

Comments Off on Choosing a Good Septic System Contractor

If you are installing a new septic system for new home or to replace an existing system, you should put some effort into finding a top local septic system contractor to handle the job.  A septic system is one of those things that it really pays to make sure the job is done right the first time.

A septic system seems like a simple system with few moving parts and in a way this is true.  The vast majority of septic systems rely on gravity and natural biological activity to treat and dispose of household wastewater.  Most systems have no electrical components and very few moving parts.

They require relatively little maintenance to continue providing great service for years.  An inspection by an experienced septic professional every year or two and septic tank pumping every three to five years is all most septic systems need to stay in top working condition.

However, poorly designed or improperly installed system will cause constant problems, need frequent repairs, and will fail within a few years and installation of a new system will be required.  It cannot be stressed enough that it is worth every penny to make sure your septic system is properly designed and installed by an experienced septic contractor.

Ask friends and neighbors for the names of septic contractors they have used in the past.  Invite several contractors to submit a proposal for the work.  This is your opportunity to evaluate the contractors and see which ones you feel comfortable working with.  Ask for a few references from satisfied customers and follow up by calling them.  Find out what work the contractor did and whether the customer was satisfied with the job.

By doing a little homework, you will be able to narrow the list down to a couple contractors who will do a great job installing your new septic system.

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.
