Get matched with top septic tank and well pros in Arlington, VA

"RightNow Plumbing reliably provides competent, scrupulous, trustworthy service. Recently I engaged Andy to service our well-water acid neutralizer tank, because I questioned the reliability of service by another company 13 months earlier. Andy tested our water and found that its pH value was 6.97, which was consistent with previous readings over the past six months when he did other work for us. Because our well-water pH is essentially neutral, Andy explained the acid neutralizer tank is not necessary. He offered two options: 1) remove the tank (thus leaving us with only the water softener tank) or 2) empty it, which option I selected. He also reduced the cost of the service call. Andy’s approach starkly contrasts with the other company that for years took advantage of an unsuspecting customer by charging almost $300 to “service” the tank and unnecessarily adding expensive calcite. For competent, scrupulous, trustworthy service, call RightNow Plumbing. Posted May 14, 2025"

"Chris, a plumber, was professional, timely, knowledgeable and explained every step of the process well before he started working on it. There were some challenges with replacing my sum pump, but Chris found the way to resolve them even though it took him longer than expected."

"He came out the day after my call and diagnosed the problem, which was an old pressure tank that gave out finally! He returned on Monday and installed a new one along with a valve. His estimate was true and he is a real professional. He will be coming back in a couple of weeks to fix another more minor problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company."

"The job was done quickly, efficiently and on time as scheduled. Job well done!"

"I was unable to be present while the work was being accomplished, but technology is a wonderful thing. Using phone, text, and pictures i was able to see it all. I feel foolish for not recalling my technicans name, but I would hire him again in a flash... well not a big electrical one ;). Thank you so very much for a job well done."

"1 crew dropped off the materials and the installation crew showed up an hour later (on time). There were two men that completed the entire new AC and Heating installation. Took them well past sun down, but they only ever left one time for lunch and stayed until the project was completed (about 930-10PM). They installed the new thermostat and took time to go over how to use it/set it and gave some tips on best practices. Very helpful. They cleaned up the entire project area once done and allowed me time to inspect the site before leaving. Excellent job. Only one (minor) mark against them was the removed the fence on the side of the house closest the the AC unit without ever asking permission to do so. They did, however, reinstall the fence once completed and the fence is as sturdy as it was before the removal. I get why they did it as well, but asking would have been preferred before doing so. I would strongly recommend this company to my friends and family and to you the reader."

"Plumber Cameron Opuda from Michael & Sons Services took on a difficult and overdue sewer fix for Dad. Mr. Opuda had a can do attitude and was super at the turn around time. Great communication from the company as well. Aside: Lesson learned for Dad, never plant trees above any kind of buried lines. They can crush anything. Michael and Sons are not the cheapest rates in town, but the solid reputation with the Home Advisor proved solid. I think the price should be $3500 for a sewer line replacement on a quarter acre, as a standard, but the competition did not have as good a track record and they took many weeks to get back to me on requests. Kudos Michael and Sons Services."

"The twelve year old heat pump (original installation) servicing our upstairs zone had a persistent freon leak and needed replacement. Alan, the owner of Parrish Services, responded to my HomeAdvisor request and offered to come out at 6PM on a Saturday evening to assess the situation and provide an estimate. He started with a heat pump/air handler combination at the same capacity as my current system and presented a couple of upgrade options as well (I ended up going up half a ton since the old system had struggled on some of the hottest days). Since we would be switching to a new refrigerant, another installer had insisted I would also need a new line set. Alan checked with the manufacturers of his systems (Trane, Bosch) and determined the Trane system could use the existing line set, while removing the more expensive Bosch system from consideration. He was also very patient and timely in his responses as I asked several follow-up questions over the next several days regarding line flushing procedures when switching refrigerants. His responsiveness, combined with a competitive price compared to other providers, led me to select his proposal. When the installer showed up (on time) to do a site survey, he was quick and professional and asked me several times if I had any additional questions. Since the job was to include an attic installation on an expected hot summer day, they requested a 6AM start on installation day. The team showed up promptly at the scheduled time and was finished before noon, freeing up my afternoon for other tasks. Throughout the installation the personnel were very professional, polite and courteous. After two weeks the system appears to be running well with no issues. Of course any assessment won't be complete until we experience the heating season with our new system and subsequent routine maintenance, but based upon my experience so far, Parrish is a first-class operation."

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."
