"Our AC went out on a Monday night - Reddi Services sent someone out that evening but before the tech, Joel, could get to our house it started raining so he had to reschedule for the next morning. He said he'd be here first thing Tuesday and he was! He quickly figured out that our AC and furnace all needed to be replaced (it was nearing 20 years old so this was not a shock) and gave us options ranging from a temporary, more affordable fix to the top of the line option. He happily gave a verbal report to our home warranty company which took much longer than expected and worked with us on making the best decision for us. We decided to replace the system and Joel got us in as quickly as possible, giving us pointers on how to stay cool and get our unit to keep chugging along for the few days until our appointment. Joel, Mark, and Matt were the technicians that came to install - they showed up early, were quick and efficient, and kept us up to date during the install. They were in and out in about 6 hours! They did a great job and we would highly recommend Reddi Services!"

"Hector was amazing from start to finish. Prompt and shows up himself to estimate the work, which was much more reasonable than the 2 other quotes we received, and does a great job through until the end. I have used him three times (for clients anbd myself) and has been consistent every time. He listens, gives quotes quickly, and schedules the repair promptly. Could not recommend more highly, he will be my sewer and septic guy for the long-term!"

"My husband and I have an older house that is surrounded by older trees... and their roots. The roots are a constant problem. They get into our main line and cause it to back up and overflow in our basement. Yuck. We stumbled upon Poor John's Plumbing when I did a Google search last year (May 2012) when this happened. They were out the very next day for a flat rate of $79 to clear out the main line, plus a $10 fuel charge. They were the cheapest out of the (at least) 5 places I called. And they guaranteed the work for 90 days (no other company offered this).
We had to have them come back out this week (approximately one year later - April 2013) to clear out the main line again. This is through no fault of their's though. If we want to get rid of the root problem, we have to replace the main line itself. I'd rather pay them $89 a year to just come out and clear it until we absolutely have to replace it!
We also had them come check out a leaky pipe in September 2012 and they only charged us $25 to take care of it.
Amazing Company, Great Work, Highly Recommended!

"This started with a persistently dripping bathroom faucet. The faucet was probably original to my mid-1960s ranch house. As long as I was calling a plumber in, I also wanted a dripping toilet (it was leaking around the handle used when flushing) repaired. I was pleased that a plumber was available the same day I contacted True Blue even though these repairs were certainly not an emergency. Anthony R., the plumber, came as scheduled late that afternoon. He was very competent and professional. He replaced the bathroom faucet with a modern new faucet because it really did need to be replaced. (My original faucet was so old that the metal at the base seemed to be peeling/twisted up--it was one of those faucets with the handles looked like plastic jewel knobs.) I examined the new faucet prior to it being installed and can verify its quality and heaviness. The new faucet has an arched neck where the water comes out and gives some height between the water coming out and the bathroom sink that wasn't there before. When turning off the water to the house, Anthony recommended replacing that on/off valve as well as a piece above that which regulates water pressure to the house. I'm sure both of these were also original to the house. The on/off valve was really corroded and I turned it gingerly when I had to turn the water off/on. As far as the water pressure goes, the Kansas City Water Department has been doing a lot of work in my neighborhood and will probably continue to do so and may at some point in time actually work on my street. To defend my house against the water pressure changes this can cause, I thought this change was also needed. I'm not sure I quite understand how it works, but apparently the water pressure had something to do with the toilet leaking. Be that as it may, I haven't had any problems with the toilet since the changes were made although the toilet was also worked on. These repairs were quickly done and did not involve a lot of time. I think this was a good value even though what was basically a leaky faucet expanded to replacing a water pressure device and the house on/off valve and cost about $1200. (I lived in another house where the house on/off valve had a box dropped on it which broke it, causing a major flood as water poured out. That's destructive so that's why I appreciate Anthony being proactive and making the recommendations he did as well as being able to complete it during this visit.)"

"I have 2 rental houses and am not a great plumber myself so I have used probably 5 different ones that I got from Angie?s List. Most of them were very good plumbers but they all drained my pocket book when they were finished and charged outrageous prices for not only parts but a couple charged over $100.00 an hour for their travel to and from my house.  I don?t know about everyone else, but I was tired of getting ripped off by plumbers until Rooter Fast.  I admit, that in my opinion, plumbing is the most difficult skill to learn in the construction industry (anyone who has gone to the Hardware Store to try to even buy plumbing parts will tell you the same) .  But come on, most charge as much as attorneys and doctors.
First Experience
My first experiance with Rooter Fast occurred when tree roots clogged the main drain in one of my rental houses.  I called two different plumbers.  The first tied to use a sewer snake.  They concluded that I needed a new drain line and quoted me $7,100 to install a liner in the drain.  No way I could afford that, so I called the second plumber who actually used a rooter and ran out of rooter line about 100 feet (still had about 30 feet to go the city sewer).  Although he did not get all the way to the city manhole, he was pretty sure I needed a new main also.  They quoted ~$2,500 to dig up and replace the line.
I called Rooter Fast based on Angie?s list recommendations to get another bid for line replacement. When I explained what happened to David Cox of Rooter Fast, he seemed skeptical that I even needed to replace the line.  Said he would come out and look at my house.  He called me the next day and told me that he knows some of the people at the second company and he called them up to discuss my situation.  David said that company #2 would come back and rooter the drain all the way to sewer for an extra $50.00.  They did that and it cleared the drain completely. 
How many plumbers do you know who would do that?  David could have given me an alternate bid to replace the line, or at a minimum, re-rooter the sewer himself.  He also followed up with a phone call to be sure they had taken care of me.  He was more service oriented than both of the other 2 companies and Fast Rotter didn?t even make a dime.  Sure saved me a ton of
money!             
Second Experience
Since e then I have had Rooter Fast to install a drain under my kitchen sink. I got a new sink that is lower than the previous one and Rooter Fast had to cut the vertical main pipe in the wall to make the stub out lower.  The first time David came out he stopped by because we could not use our kitchen sink.  He rigged up a temporary fix for a couple days until they could come back and fixed
it the way he wanted. He also snaked out a bathroom drain.  Did not charge for temp fix on the sink even though he used some of his own parts. They came out a couple days later and fixed the drain to their high standards They also noticed a leak from my dishwasher and redoped the fitting and tightened it up.  They automatically fixed it under the same service call.

"Really courteous. Arrived on time. It was a small job on carpeted stairs with some stubborn stains. They gave it a lot of personal attention and helped me avoid the expense of replacing a custom carpet. I’d definitely recommend them"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Kansas City, MO

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.
