"Came out within 2 hours for a non emergency repair. Had them Install a on off/valve and they inspected my utility room for free. He pointed out a few pipes leaking that I had not know about and was able to repair them on site in 2 hours. Excellent service!"

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."

"Professional and pumped the septic tank"

"They put my well water system into perfect working order."

"There were issues like a portion of pipe under the sink that needed fixed as well as re-doing some of the valving that was leaking water. The guys also didn't have part with them and had to go out and purchase what they needed to do the job correctly. They also had some issue with reverse osmosis system due to the complicated set up. However they figured it out and the job was done in about 4 hours. They were very professional and cleaned up. Even helped put things back under the kitchen sink that had to be removed so that they could install the RO system and do the other plumbing work."

"The Service was great. I needed the work done right away and Aaron Fellenz was at my house on time and did the work great! He helped me diagnose and clear a clog that was on the intake and offered excellent advise on managing the septic system."

"He was very professional with his work.I highly recommended Mclean Septic services llc."

"Very nice person and great servie. My water heater for my radiant heat was not working. I was impressed with the great communications I got during each step of the process. The parts arrived early and my problem was fixed faster than I expected. I am definitely keeping their number for any plumbing repairs in the future."

Purchased Angie's list deal for free visit and 1st Hour of service for a pre-paid $49.  On first visit, it was quickly determined that the condo associate couldn't turn off the water to the building.  And the plumber didn't have a part needed to install the faucet in any case; so for both reasons the visit needed to be rescheduled.

After some delay due to the Condo Association needing a major repair to fix their problem; we tried again.  This time a new person came 1/2 hour early, which is a problem since they notify condo owners the build water will be shut of only during designated times; however the maintenance manager made an except and shut off the water early.  However, I indicated that they needed two individuals to move out the stacked washer/dryer to access the necessary plumbing; and the 1st guy was expecting the 2nd to come at the scheduled time.  So we waited and he never showed up.  And he was to have the necessary parts.  The 1st guy was able scrounge in the truck for awhile and did find the parts he needed, purely by luck.  Next, the 1st guy couldn't remove the washer/dryer himself and the maintenance manager helped him.  And he proceeded to make the repairs.  Subsequently, the unit needed to be put back, and the maintenance manager was no longer present.  I was able to help reluctantly since I recently injured my back; but with some pain and effort we got it back in place.  At some point towards the end, the 1st guy had a very heated discussion with the office about never working with "CJ" again (I assuming the 2nd guy who didn't show).

Now on to payment; the I had discussions with the office coordinator several times that my Angie's list voucher was still valid after the initial situation.  When the 1st guy called it in, they didn't honor that, indicating I used it with first visit.  A visit in which no work was done, and he didn't have the correct parts even if he could have.  So I was charged the full price.

I'm fairly certain the "2nd guy/CJ" was the same individual who came out the first time.  And while he was "fine", I didn't really like his demeanor.  I recognize he made the visit and couldn't perform the work; thus the reason I didn't really object on not getting credit on the 2nd visit.  But was not happy after being assured it was going to carry over.  And his not showing caused the 1st guy to spend billable time looking for parts and struggling with the washer unit, and worse making me and my bad back help him.

I want to say the guy who did the work was polite to me; seemed to do a quality job, and got through a difficult situation.  With the exception of the phone call back to the office in front of me, I don't have any complaints on his service.  I gave the D on price because of the non-application of the Angie's deal; but the price was probably fair given the time spent otherwise at about $95/hr.

In the end, it wasn't a disaster, and the price wasn't a real problem, but it still wasn't a particularly pleasant experience and didn't really instill much confidence.  I think I would try another firm next time to see if the experience was more positive.
