"My husband and I are having our home built for our property and need a Septic Tank installed.  This will be our first experience with such a system as we have always lived within city limits that provided City Sewer Service.  I found Jerry Thigpen Septic Tank Svc in an online search.  I called and left a message on the answering machine at noon and received a call back within 35 minutes.  Spoke to Mr and Mrs Thigpen, they both were very professional and pleasant to speak to.  Very informative as to what steps we need to do before he can give us an estimate for a new system.  Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Thigpen we look forward to doing business with you.
Will do a reveiw followup once services are rendered.

"Was trying to locate the origin of a moldy smell that suddenly appeared throughout the house a week ago. Called TM for routine AC checkup. The service tech (J.D.) noted what appeared to be mold (or the beginnings of it) in the drain pan. Also noted that the drain pipe was clogged. (My bad!) He cleared the drain pipe and we sprayed the drain pan with mold disinfectant.

He also noted rust on one of the lower coils... perhaps from freezing over. It's possible that it was and quot;rustand quot; I was smelling. J.D. then checked the refrigerant levels and hosed down the outside exchanger.

Poor guy was drenched (from the attic and outdoor heat) by the time he was done. I had even bought him a couple of sweat rags and a floor fan to help him survive the attic heat. He was very appreciative of that.

I complimented his attentiveness to the job and bought him lunch. I was pleased with the service. I thought the office staff could have been a bit friendlier."

"All I can say is wow! I contacted them and within an hour or so they were at my house and on a Saturday no less. They were kind, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. And even when the job ended up being a lot more complex than any of us expected, they refused to leave me in a bind. They are honest and decent people. If I could give them more than five stars I would. You will not regret hiring this team. They’re the best."

"I used them for a couple of jobs as I got my house ready to sell.  The communication was not good throughout the process and I had to call back several times and make scheduling corrections and get more details about who would be responsible for what.  That was frustrating.
The flooring in my living room was a thin wood floor that had too many scratches and I was replacing it with laminate to improve the look of this large area before the house went on the market.  Anyway, I explained that it was glued down and asked questions about how they would tear it out, etc.  Then the workers get there and I get a call that "the floor is glued down!".  They tore it out, but it took time and effort.  And it was a mess.  I'm glad I didn't try this prior to moving out of the house.  But they got it done and put down laminate and that looked good for the most part.  Except for they did not replace any of the transition pieces.  Once I saw the "completed" job with no transitions, I complained and they put down some, only it was an ugly job with transitions that did not match the flooring.  Just obviously mismatched junk from leftover pieces they had laying around or something.
I guess it was a mixed bag, the laminate floor did look good in the end, but communication was terrible and it took many visits (time off of work for me) to get the job done.
I may use them again in the future, but they won't be my first choice.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Albany, LA

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
