The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits. It's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. All our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally. Red Carpet Treatment During every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

"I was out of town and my husband called this company to replace a kitchen faucet. We already had the new faucet purchased, so it was just an install. They charged us $502 for an hour and a half of work during normal work hours (and after showing up several hours late). That's $335 an hour for labor! Outrageous and predatory."

"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."

"*PUBLIC BEWARE* If you have A-Affordable do work at your home you need to tell them if you do not want to have your property damaged. At least this is what I was told after the fact by the owners & their son that worked on my job. As far as I am aware the work that I hired them to perform was done well. The problem is that their heavy equipment mangled my asphalt driveway to the point where I had to hire an asphalt contractor to make repairs. My driveway was cracked & patched before they came but it was for the most part level, smooth and not a tripping hazard. Since completing their work the asphalt is ripped up, a severe tripping hazard and can no longer be plowed. I asked A Affordable to split the cost of the repair with me. Despite admitting the asphalt was damaged by them they were unwilling to do anything for me. I was repeatedly told if I had just told them I did not want my driveway damaged this would not have happened."

"After a bad winter with some issues with ice dams, decided we needed to get some gutter work and new downspouts and also had a chimney contractor no show so had to find another to do the work. Called a few places and had quotes from Old Dad Shook and another place. Old Dad Shook looked to have the better price and seemed to have better reviews so went with them. I had a busy summer so planned the work for fall and had gotten a call in June to start the work but let them know it could wait and I gave them a call in August and they were able to come out a couple weeks later to do the work. The day came and the first day, they worked on chimney pointing and capping the chimneys as well as painting and patching the box gutters. It was a pretty hot day so they spread the work over two days and the second day they took off the old downspouts and put on new downspouts. They did a nice job of attaching everything and setting them up. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the elbow on one of the downspouts on the ground that took some time to get taken care of and also had some leaking still around the chimney with a heavy rain that they came out and took a look at and sealed up the best they could"

"Couldn’t have asked for better service. Plumber was very professional, did his best to minimize damage even though part of the garage ceiling and a wall behind our 1st floor powder room needed to be breached to access the pipes and figure out where the leak was. And on top of that, he took a look at a toilet that kept running after being flushed and made a quick fix of that problem without even charging me extra for the work. We’ll definitely use this service again the next time we need a plumber."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Pittsburgh, PA

You should have your septic tank inspected at least once every one to three years. Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring your system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan. You can also have your pro take care of routine septic system maintenance tasks at the same time as your inspection.

A septic tank must be inspected before buying a home to ensure the system is sound and compliant with local regulations. A comprehensive inspection evaluates all critical components and detects hidden faults that could lead to expensive repairs. This detailed review protects your investment by verifying the system’s integrity and reliability.

A septic tank's leach field fails when it encounters system overload and deteriorating conditions. Excess water usage beyond the field’s capacity and environmental stress lead to hydraulic failure. Aging infrastructure and insufficient maintenance further contribute to failure. Distributing water use evenly and scheduling regular maintenance, including enzyme treatments when necessary, preserve the leach field’s integrity.

A septic system lasts between 20 and 30 years. Steel tanks function for 15 to 20 years, concrete tanks operate for 20 to 40 years, and fiberglass or plastic tanks remain durable for 30 to 40 years. Consistent maintenance, including regular pumping and inspections, extends these lifespans by preventing buildup and structural damage, ensuring reliable long-term performance.

A failing septic system presents clear signs such as slow-draining fixtures, foul odors at or around the leach field, and overly green patches of grass. Additional indicators include persistent toilet flushing problems, standing water near the system, and noticeable gurgling noises from pipes. These symptoms reveal blockages, structural damage, or leaks. Immediate professional evaluation is essential to address these issues and prevent extensive repair costs.
