"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

"Bob was very prompt to respond to an emergency plumbing need I had with my tenant's toilet being clogged & water leaking into first floor apt. bathroom. 
 
He took care of clogged toilet by pulling toilet & snaking out stack and Tenants were able to use immediately.
 Unfortunately he found a more involved issue with the flange being broken & corroded.  He explained what would be involved in repairing this & was able to come back next morning to complete the recommended service in a matter of a couple hours.
He was also very proactive & addressed some other "nagging" plumbing issues I had been putting off. He addressed slow a draining tub in 1st floor apt. by replacing some very old cast iron piping with ABS piping. And a low water pressure issue by replacing old galvanized hot water line with new copper line. And lastly he addressed a leaky hot water tank in basement by cleaning out the valve.
I felt the cost was a bit high, but I was very pleased with the quality & comprehensiveness of his service.

"In Conclusion,
   the service was on time, professional, complete, and well done. Tom was on time within 15 minutes (which is acceptable to me). He began work without wasting time, while explaining what he was doing at every step. He gave tips when appropriate. He was professional and had all necessary equipement on his person.
I would recommend this service. 
In addition, for an additional $100.00, Homepro will return to make sure that the seller has completed the necessary repairs prior to closing. This feature is useful if you do not trust the seller or selling agent. We did not elect this service, but, it was nice to know that it was available.

"Excellent experience.  Gary and his crew were very responsive.  Came out to give an estimate the day after I called him and provided an estimate much lower than the other lining company I had contacted.  He showed me the problem in my sewer with his sewer cam and explained exactly how he would install the lining.  He also showed me a sample of the lining material and the warranty they provide with their work.  He was out the following week exactly on schedule.  His crew was very professional and all very nice guys.  They conducted all the work exactly as explained beforehand and had all the repairs/lining installed exactly on schedule.  He also lined up all the the follow up inspections required by the municipality and county and was present for the inspections.  All in all I think he and his crew did an excellent job and got us through our problem without any surprises and at a very reasonable price.  I would definitely recommend AK Pipe Lining Co. to anyone needing sewer repairs.

"I highly recommend Rooter Man Plumbing based on their work replacing our main water line. Howard Stahl showed up quickly to assess our problem, recommend a solution, and provide us with the best price. When the leak got worse, he arranged for his crew to be here the next day (despite a snow storm) to start the work. Within 24 hours his crew had our front yard dug up, new copper supply line installed, line rerouted in our basement, and water turned back on! His crew, Jamie, Craig, and Alex (just some of the guys), were very courteous and respectful of our home. I plan to call on Howard and his crew for any future plumbing work we may have!"

"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 Pittsburgh, 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.
