We are a family business that has been around for almost 50 years. We install residential and commercial water wells, pump installation and repair, water filtration and geothermal boreholes and system installation.

"These ladies came out today (Saturday of Easter weekend) on an emergency call and determined we needed a new relay. They didn’t try to sell us a new pump but given the fact that the pump was most likely the same vintage (37 years old) we asked them to install a new one. They were professional, knowledgeable and fast! We would highly recommend them to anyone needing well work. The price was reasonable too! Thank you ladies!!"

"He is the worst and most dishonest contractor you could ever hire. When he came in to quote us the job he sounded very confident and sound he knew what he was doing. So we finally agreed on a price and a 2 weeks timeline for the job. He showed up only on the first few days, my husband and I gave him portion of the money with expectations of the job being done soon. days went by and he didn't showed up. We were calling and texting him everyday and no responses, once he would respond, was always a different excuses. On top of him not showing up anymore, we bought 27 boxes of tile for my laundry, when my husband and I weren't home, he showed up, took 5 boxes and went to the store and returned to get cash back to himself, which technically he was stealing from us. he was always calling back when he wanted money but no job done. I know my husband and I were stupid to give him the money without the job being even half way done.We hired him in the first week of January, with intentions to be done in 2 weeks. Today is March 29TH 2018 and this deadbeat contractor hasn't show up in 2 months... ignoring phone calls, text and any sort of communication that we tried to established with him. On top of stealing my materials for his own gain, everything that he has done is falling apart, tile floor is popping up for being laid down improperly with wrong material, the cabinets are all "crooked" for not being leveled right, he painted the walls the wrong color, all with promises of fixing it afterwards. I had plans to put my house in the market end of march, but as right now, my house is in pieces and this dead beat dishonest contractor hasn't showed up, so now its not only the house problem, he is affecting my ability to sell my house. PLEASE, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER EVER HIRE THIS GUY, His name is Jeffrey Owens Sr."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Albany, NY

You should have your septic tank inspected at least once every one to three years. Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring your system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan. You can also have your pro take care of routine septic system maintenance tasks at the same time as your inspection.

A septic tank must be inspected before buying a home to ensure the system is sound and compliant with local regulations. A comprehensive inspection evaluates all critical components and detects hidden faults that could lead to expensive repairs. This detailed review protects your investment by verifying the system’s integrity and reliability.

A septic tank's leach field fails when it encounters system overload and deteriorating conditions. Excess water usage beyond the field’s capacity and environmental stress lead to hydraulic failure. Aging infrastructure and insufficient maintenance further contribute to failure. Distributing water use evenly and scheduling regular maintenance, including enzyme treatments when necessary, preserve the leach field’s integrity.

A septic system lasts between 20 and 30 years. Steel tanks function for 15 to 20 years, concrete tanks operate for 20 to 40 years, and fiberglass or plastic tanks remain durable for 30 to 40 years. Consistent maintenance, including regular pumping and inspections, extends these lifespans by preventing buildup and structural damage, ensuring reliable long-term performance.

A failing septic system presents clear signs such as slow-draining fixtures, foul odors at or around the leach field, and overly green patches of grass. Additional indicators include persistent toilet flushing problems, standing water near the system, and noticeable gurgling noises from pipes. These symptoms reveal blockages, structural damage, or leaks. Immediate professional evaluation is essential to address these issues and prevent extensive repair costs.
