Since 1965, our family at Pride Plumbing has been privileged to provide quality plumbing repair and installation services to our neighbors throughout Montgomery County, Stanly County, and Richmond County with 50 years of experience. We are now excited to offer Randolph County our same great service. We are motivated by the mission statement that we put into place 50 years ago, to deliver superior workmanship and dependable plumbing service.

"DO NOT HIRE PRIDE PLUMBING. I had Pride come out last friday because of a clogged toilet and water backing up into my tub. When a cheaper option didn't work, he then had to do a much more expensive job where he removed the toilet and tried pumping from inside. that worked for a few days however the exact same issues happened just a few days later. Now, I was told that the job was under warranty and that if we had ANY issues to call them back and they would fix them right away. I called, and was immediately told we'd be charged again. Apparently, only the resetting of the toilet was under warranty. According to the man I spoke to (Steve) "anyone could just throw something in the toilet and clog it up again" My wife and I live alone with no children. No one threw anything in the toilet other than tissue and waste. Once again, do not hire Pride Plumbing unless you want to be lied to, and have the exact same problems in a few days, where they will try to charge you again."

Since 1967, Eanes Heating and Air Conditioning has been providing high quality heating and cooling products and services across the Piedmont Triad Area of North Carolina. Centrally located in High Point, NC, the Eanes service area covers the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Thomasville, Lexington, Randleman, and all points in between. As a local, family-owned business, Eanes takes great pride in providing trusted advice and straight-talk service on HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance for both commercial and residential applications. Additional phones - (336) 727-0120, (336) 475-8715, (336) 993-6819.(336) 287-0083. Award winning. Additional contact names - Karen Eanes, Angie Eanes.

"The “Comfort Specialist”, aka highly trained salesman, Jared Reeves was very professional and informative. He even came to my house on a Sunday to quote a new AC/furnace system, and he answered several texts with additional questions I had before signing the quote into a contract. The contract laid out, in very clear terms, what equipment would be installed and the labor involved. Unfortunately, that is where Jared’s communication stopped, despite his (and Eanes’) promise to make anything that wasn’t done correctly on the install or the equipment, made right. The day of install started early at 8am and ran long to 9:30pm. I was home the entire day, and I checked in several times to see how the progress was going. The installers were great, but I did have to question (and convince) them to replace the drain pan when they informed me they were not going to put in a new one. A new drain pan was included on the signed quote/contract, as the original was rusted in several spots and clearly needed to be replaced. After convincing them to do that, I noticed that the new return plenum and furnace drop which was included on the signed contract was not being done. When I questioned that, I was told that it was not included on the punch order. Jared (the salesman) and I specifically discussed the new return and plenum during his visit, as the inside of the original return/drop was quite dirty and dusty, naturally and perhaps the M-word (moldy). I did not feel the installers cut corners, but the new return and drop box promised by Jared and included in the contact were a hard “no, that wasn’t part of the plan” from the installers. I sent Jared a text immediately to inform him, but I did not ever hear back. The sale was done, and so it seems was he (despite sitting in my dining room with his sales pitch, promising that anything not done right would be made so, on his dollar if needed). I emailed Jared and Eanes Customer Service several times over the next week, and I got zero reply. I asked for a refund of the cost of material/labor on the return/drop that was in the contract and not fulfilled. Updated as of 7/30/2024 All issues have been resolved."

"Avoid this company. They came out to my parents property a day earlier than expected. Started probing the ground to find the septic line and weren't able to find it. 15 minutes later water was coming out of the ground, come to find out they poked a hole in our water line. We tried giving the worker a call and he denied it...We had Johns Plumbing come out incurring a $600 charge. The owner Tommy came out looked at the pipe, said he make this right and reimburse. He never came back and ignores my calls and texts. The fact they did this to an elderly couple who are in their 80s with medical issues shows negligence. This experience not only highlighted their lack of responsibility but also revealed a disregard for the well-being of vulnerable individuals.

FAQs for septic tank cleaning or pump out projects in Winston Salem, NC

Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.

If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.

Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.

You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
