"David and his team were professional, hardworking and knew exactly what they were doing to get the job done with precision. David went out of his way to try to save us money on a replacement waterline installation and curb stop (water shutoff valve near street) repair at our home. He also recommended a very good plumber to complete the interior plumbing connection. He explained the steps to complete the job and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. He gave us peace of mind. He and his team worked sun up to sundown in below freezing temperatures the day of installation to ensure we had running water before they left. We highly recommend David and his team as they were reliable, trustworthy, skilled and knowledgeable."

"I had purchased 2 hours of electrical work. Since they sent two men, it meant an hour of two people.  I had some additional work done and paid for the extra time.  The biggest task was putting a new light in the living room ceiling: it required drilling holes in the bracket from which the light hangs.  The other work was much smaller, chiefly replacing outlets.  I honestly don't remember all the details.  The did install an extra outlet in my basement and remove wiring from a now-removed hot-water heater.  They were perfectly good and competent, but I'd rather use someone closer to my house: they're at least an hour away.

"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."

"The project got off to an inauspicious beginning.  It started two weeks later than planned, causing an interruption to our holiday plans.  The day after it started, a serious injury to a sub-contractor caused the schedule to be changed.  Of course, this was not anyone?s fault.  However, other parts of the project could have been completed while alternate plans were made.  This was not done and we were left with a demolished bedroom and bathroom for several weeks before any significant progress was made.  To be fair, after expressing our dissatisfaction, steps were immediately taken to remedy the problem and get back on a schedule.  
While we were not completely satisfied with the time that it took to complete the project, we are very pleased with the outcome.  The bathroom is beautiful!  We are enjoying our new shower very much.  The heated floor system that Richard recommended was installed perfectly and has been a warm welcome on cold mornings.  The tile and plumbing work was done very well as were the finished carpentry and installation of the vanity and fixtures.   

The closet organization system that was installed in the new bedroom closet has been a nice surprise.  Even though we lost 4? of width compared to our previous bedroom closet, we can fit the same clothes and shoes and have more room to spare.  The guys even installed a new wall mounted flat screen television in our bedroom complete with ?in-wall? cable to hide wires.  With the new paint, closet, and wall mounted television, it is like we have an entirely new bedroom ? at little cost!  

We would recommend NE Renovations.  The price that we paid was not the lowest estimate that we had received, but was very fair.  NE Renovation?s reputation was perhaps the most important reason we chose them.  They have been in business for many years. They are licensed, insured, and trustworthy.  Richard is a nice guy to deal with as were members of his crew and sub-contractors.  So far, I have the utmost confidence that they stand by their work."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Cummington, MA

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
