"The work was satisfactorily performed in a timely manner. The price was outrageous. I paid $378 to replace a toilet fill valve and flapper. My regular handyman was unavailable so I thought I would try Ranck Plumbing. I feel I was treated unfairly to be charged twice the cost many plumbers would bill. I would like future potential customers to be forewarned."

"I had All Aspects Waterproofing come out on Aug. 13th to inspect my basement and provide an estimate. To date, 8/31/18, I still have NOT received an estimate. The inspector promised he would give me an estimate by Friday, 8/17/18, which I did not receive. Most inspectors give you an estimate on the spot so I don't understand why he said 8/17/18, but I thought maybe he was just being more thorough. The following week I still didn't have an estimate so I called the office and they said he would call me back shortly. He did and promised to have an estimate to me sometime that weekend. I still received no estimate. So, I called the office again on 8/28 or 8/29 and they told me they would get back with me. I still have heard NOTHING from them. Not that I would every hire them now, but that's ridiculous. I don't see how AAW has such good ratings when they can't even provide a customer with an estimate. That's the easiest part. The sad part is, the inspector is very friendly, but he didn't follow through at all and neither did the company once I complained."

Septic system repairs FAQs

A septic tank lasts 20 to 30 years and can extend its life up to 40 years with disciplined maintenance. Regular pumping, annual inspections, and careful use of the system ensure long-lasting performance. Proper care—including flushing only approved materials and scheduling professional cleanings—protects your septic system and maximizes its lifespan.

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.
