"I saw my sewer vent was overflowing over the weekend, and called Zoom because I happened to have their business card at home. I was given a time window, and because the company charges a flat rate, there was no additional charge for the weekend call. A technician came out and snaked the drain, pulling back tree roots. He then used a camera to inspect the line, finding no other issues in the PVC pipe moving toward the house, but a large number of roots in the cast iron pipe going away from the house. Because I am planning to stay in this home for a long time, I wanted a permanent solution rather than a temporary "treatment." He set up an appointment a few days later to get an estimate from an engineer to rehab/replace the drain line. The price listed above was the cost for this service only.
The engineer was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable, and the appointment was very informative. He recommended a liner option, which would eliminate the need to dig up the road to replace the actual pipe. The estimate for this service was $7636.69 for 35 feet of pipe, less the $358 I'd already paid for the previous service. In the meantime, I checked with my township and learned that they are actually responsible for remediating any issues that occur past the curb line. A representative from the township met with a technician from Zoom the following day to perform another video inspection (at no charge), and found that all the root damage was past the curb and would be their responsibility to repair and pay for.
While I wasn't able to give Zoom the business for this larger job, and hope not to NEED their services again, I had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend them and use them again if necessary. Their professsionalism, communication, and follow-up was top-notch.

 Bill and Dan did  a great job under 'emergency' circumstances.  My sewer line had backed up and was leaking inside my basement.  I phoned them on a Saturday morning and they arrived within hours.  They were obviously veteran plumbers with years of experience ... they knew what to do.  Came in a van that seemed to be well-stocked with tools and spare parts.  My job needed a special part.. they were out of that one but were able to source and procure it within an hour.  That was good because my situation was urgent.  They used a 'snake' to fish out the debris and a section of scrap PVC pipe from the vent line, a point of blockage.  They worked until job was complete the same day.  .

 I would recommend them, especially for difficult drainage problems.

"Air Temp Solutions replaced my Heating and A/C system last winter. Their service was top-notch from start to finish. They gave me a great price and also honored the 10 % discount for Angie's list members. The technicians who came for the installation were true professionals and competed the whole job in less than 6 hours. Once the installation was completed they also did all the paper work and follow-up to make sure I get the energize Delaware rebate. The rebate arrived in mail last week for $1350.00. Over all Air temp is a great company with great people and great service."

"We had lower bids.  But the truth is we turn our air conditioning all the time and my energy costs are fair.  I like their customer service.  They come out every year.  They check up the systems and do a system cleaning.  They gave me a quality service and a quality product.  They were wonderful.  It was a lot of money for me and they understood that.  They were empathetic for that.  They were very cautious and were very clean.  It was an excellent value.  I wouldn’t use anybody else."

"Paul didn't blink at removing the old septic tank; whereas, others we spoke with wanted to put a new tank in next to the existing tank.  Paul came in with his guys on the days he said they would be there and cleaned up each day.  The work looks neat and well done. There was no damage to curbing from the heavy equipment and minor turf repairs were completed. All access points to the system are neatly set at grade.  The only thing that could have gone better was proactive communication around things like when we could use water and when we couldn't, not a big deal in the end.  Pricing was competitive.  Paul was present and involved in the job and they completed the work in 2 days, which was the bottom end of his estimated time."

"The technician arrived at his appointment time, and performed diagnostics. He quickly determined the reason for the system not working, and has gotten authorization from Choice Home Warranty for the repairs, and an appointment has been set up for those repairs to be completed as soon as parts arrive. Mr. Hutchison was very professional, and assessed the repairs need in a short time. I would highly recommend him, and will definatly use his services again."

"Paul Mariani was amazing. He contacted the township, the company that had originally installed the drainage system and the engineering group that inspected it. he had all of them there when it was raining and he was digging apart the system to pump it and determine what was wrong with it. He spent HOURS educating my clients and the sellers and communicating with township personnel BEFORE he was even awarded the job or even knew they were going to use him. he is amazingly ethical and will tell you the truth about what is going on. after my clients bought the home, he waterproofed the basement. I would never hesitate to hire Paul for any excavating job. He is a consumate professional."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Brookhaven, PA

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.
