"They truly live by the code of "you get what you paid for". The price was cheaper than expected (and they included a free estimate too). So ultimately, our slow bathtub drain was cleared. However, the technician had terrible housekeeping. After stripping the caulking around the overflow valve, they left the caulking pieces in the bathtub and told us to flush them down the drain (?!). They said the provided bio solution would clear the pieces just fine...but why do that when a trash can is less than a foot away?? Then, they did not offer to reseal the valve they just opened...just left a mess for us to pick up. As such, we will not be using them again next time...free estimate or not. If we wanted the bare minimum, we would have done it ourselves."

"Had a technician come out to scope our drain line. He forgot the camera, so they had to return. The check was not cashed, so I feared this with all the fraud in the world this man had my check and could compromise the safety of it. Called 3X no return call Told me to call accounting and no one answered and the voicemail was not set up ??? Customer service is very, very bad. I would NEVER do business with them again!!!!"

"Well it was a rough week at our household as our sewer line backed up into the first floor bathroom and basement. Our regular plumber does not service sewer lines and much to our surprise we discovered many other plumbers do not as well. All Clear Plumbing ... of Mercer came to the rescue to help snake the sewer line and get our plumbing functional again. They were timely, professional and explained processes and remedies over and over again until we completely understood the situation. Then, almost comically, one day later our 14-year-old hot water heater started leaking as it rusted through the bottom. All Clear was able to come out the next day and quickly replaced the 40 gal. unit with a 50 gal. for our family of four. I cannot thank Fabian and Michelle enough for their customer service and responsiveness. Unfortunately for us, looks like we have a sewer line replacement in our near future, but I trust it will be a seamless process thanks to everyone at All Clear."

We provide water well drilling, well pumps, pressure tanks, disinfection and water treatment solutions for customers in southeastern Pennsylvania. Our 75-year focused experience means we have the experience and knowledge to diagnose and correct all problems with wells and water treatment systems.

"From anyone I talked to and my own troubleshooting, it sounded like I would need a new well tank. Miller came over, did a bit of checking and emptied the tank of water. Added some air and it resolved the pressure problem! I may have a slow leak and still have to get a new tank. But everything was explained to me and I was given an estimate for a new tank, if needed in the future. I really appreciate that they didn't just tell me I need a new tank- because I would not have known any better. I will use them again and recommend their services."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Philadelphia, PA

Leach field failure can often occur due to a lack of proper maintenance, hydraulic overload, or environmental factors. When too much water enters the septic system—like running multiple large laundry loads back-to-back—it can overwhelm the leach field. Regular professional inspections, ongoing maintenance, and spacing out high-water-use activities help prevent failure.

A septic tank shows repair needs when noticeable symptoms arise around your home. Noticeable signs include strong sewage odors at fixtures, recurring pipe blockages, pooling water or damp patches near the leach field, and areas of unusually bright green or spongy grass. These indicators confirm that deteriorating components or clogs exist. Monitoring such signs and scheduling timely professional inspections prevents further costly damage.

Adhering to a strict, scheduled maintenance plan prevents septic system repairs. An annual inspection and a pump-out every three to five years safeguard your system’s performance. Additionally, only flushing waste and toilet paper, installing drain filters, keeping nonapproved items out of the system, and avoiding excessive water use help maintain your septic system’s health and efficiency.
