"Nice gentleman, very nice however, had to reschedule twice as they did not show. Connected hot water to cold in bathroom where they tighten the faucets.

"This is THE worst company to ever use! They lie, rip you off and never call or communicate! This has been an ongoing problem from the initial install when the compressor blew up. They had to come back the next day with a new compressor to finish installation!! We’ve had problems ever since and this has been going on for 11 years. (We have a 12 year parts and labor warranty with a $49 deductible and we’ve paid this deductible so many times). Our compressor has gone out again, this is the forth time in 11 years!!!!! Tech brought out a portable air conditioner on Wednesday only to have it leak water on our living floor, rug and pad! He came back to pick it up and said the water plug was missing! Gee whose fault is that???? Was told we’d get a different one next morning on Thursday! Heard nothing on Thursday and nothing so far today, Friday! I’m sure we won’t hear a word! We’ve had parts put in backwards, txv’s (thermal expansion valve) replaced so many times, I lost count! Never ever use this terrible, inexperienced, sad excuse for a company!!"

Septic Service.

"Do not use this company. They are are incompetent and irresponsible. They spent three days digging with a back hoe in my backyard and could not find my septic tank. In the process they snagged an underground power line which pulled my well compressor off its base and broke numerous pipes in the basement. I had to call a plumber who charged me $1600 to fix the problem. They assured me their insurance would pay for it but now they won't return my calls. Now I will have to take time to go to Small Claims court to get the money back. Dishonest, irresponsible and unprofessional!!"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Columbia, SC

Depending on maintenance and environmental conditions, septic distribution boxes last between 15 and 40 years. With excellent care and regular system maintenance, these components can function properly for over 30 years. Factors affecting longevity include soil conditions, proper installation, regular septic tank pumping, and avoiding excessive water usage that might overwhelm the system.

Warning signs of distribution box problems include unusually lush or soggy grass patches over your drain field, slow-draining fixtures throughout your home, and unpleasant odors in your yard. You might also experience plumbing backups, gurgling sounds in pipes, or multiple drain clogs occurring simultaneously. These symptoms indicate that wastewater isn't being evenly distributed across your leach field lines.

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic distribution box replacement when damage results from normal wear, age-related deterioration, or poor maintenance. Coverage might apply if damage occurs from sudden, covered events like falling trees or vehicle impacts. Some insurers offer optional septic system endorsements for additional protection. Review your specific policy details to understand your coverage options.

Septic professionals recommend having your distribution box and overall septic system inspected every two to five years. Some homeowners opt for more frequent checks, especially if they've experienced previous issues or have an older system. Regular inspections help identify minor problems before they develop into major failures requiring complete replacement. These preventative evaluations cost between $100 and $200.
