I called Powers Septic and they were able to schedule me that same day. They arrived around the time they had said and were obviously knowledgable and gave me tips (such as recommending not using a garbage disposal on a septic system). They were experienced, pleasant and had good people skills. They pumped the tank and that solved our plumbing issues. Definitely will use them again in a couple of years.
Description of Work: They pumped my septic system and included jet spray.

Frank provided our service this time. He's great at explaining what needs done. He called Best Pick for me (which was his recommendation for the repairs), talked to John about what needed done, and gave me a rough estimate of what our costs would be. His actual service was just pumping our septic tank, and that was completed well & in a timely manner!
Description of Work: We had Powers out to drain our septic tank, as we do every couple years. They also drained our secondary tank, and suspected a leak, so they referred Best Pick to us to check it out further. They also came out "on call" while Best Pick was here working at a later date to drain the secondary tank again to make sure the repairs were working.

I called several plumbers to unblock my sewer line but all could not come today. I called Powers Septic and Sewers and he could not come either. He apologized and gave me a recommended plumber but he as one I had already called. I finally found someone to come today. Shortly after I scheduled the new appointment, Frank called me back and said he found someone who could do the work. I told him that I just found someone. I couldn't believe he would take the time to find someone else for me since he was too busy. You certainly do not get that kind of service very often today. I am very impressed with his effort and will most likely call him in the future when I need work done.

It went well. I can't imagine how it could have been any better. I was anticipating that the problem would be more difficult to solve as well as more expensive. I will be using Mr. Power's services in the future.
Description of Work: My sewer line became blocked and began to overflow through the cleanout. Mr. Powers quickly removed the blockage and continued to clear the sewer line from the house to the main sewer line. He inspected the line with a camera and found there were still some remnents of roots invading the line. He repeated the cleaning and cutting proceedure and camera inspections several times until he was satisfied that there would be no more problems. Mr. Powers has and uses the latest technology in equipment which enables him to be through and efficient.

The job went smooth and they were out of there within a half hour. I was happy with the overall job. I'm glad I used Powers for the job. I highly recommend them. I'm just happy it was a simple solution to our problem and relatively inexpensive. He also gave me a $20 discount for mentioning Angies List.
Description of Work: I called and spoke to the business owner Frank Powers in the morning. I needed our septic tank pumped out and possibly the clean out pipe unclogged. He gave me his prices over the phone and said he could be there between 2 and 4pm. He called 40 minutes ahead of time so I could leave work in plenty of time and be there. He explained everything clearly and did the job quickly, and professsionally with a courteous helper. They pumped out the septic tank and unclogged the clean out with a jet pump hose and our slow toilet problem was solved.

He's fantastic. It was amazing and saved us a ton of money because people were telling us that we needed to replace all our pipes. He was terrific. He was very competent. He came in and got it done and he was great. He didn't make a mess and he cleaned up after himself. It was great.

Called on a Thursday and Frank was out first thing Saturday morning. It took about 20 minutes to locate the metal lid of the tank. We are the third owner of the house and have lived in it for 4 years, and didn't know the last time the tank was pumped. It was clear after removing the lid that it needed to be cleaned. He was very thorough and answered our inquisitive questions about the system since we've never had one before. He was done in another 20-30 minutes with no issues. I appreciate his promptness since the first septic company we called was supposed to be out at our house between 11:00 and 1:00 and I continually called every half hour after that to see when they were going to show. Obviously ended up cancelling with them because I had another appt late in the afternoon. Was glad Frank Powers was able to do the work and get the job done.

It was exceptional. From the first call they were very professional. I called because my toilet was gurgling and didn't know what that meant. Mr. Powers explained that the tank was perhaps full because of recent snow melt and they could pump it and they could come that day. Since we have never had this done in the 10 years that we have lived here I did not know what to expect but it was a quick and illuminating experience. Frank, Mr. Powers son, was very helpful in explaining the workings of the septic system. Now we know to have it pumped every 2 years. He was careful with the yard and very knowledgeable about the septic system. He gave me suggestions about future care of the septic system and did not make me feel as stupid as I felt not knowing about my own home! We will continue to use them and appreciate their quick response.
Description of Work: Frank located the septic entry, dug it out and pumped the tank.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. These guys really know their business and they are honest & hardworking! We had the sewer back up into our finished basement last week. Awful mess. We had Powers come out on extremely short notice because we were really afraid that we might have to dig up the yard and replace the line from our house to the sewer. They arrived at my house with all necessary tools, they sent the camera out all the way to the main street drain, 72 feet. They found roots and proceeded to send the 60-some feet of coil down there to clean it out. They explained each and every step of what they were doing and then what we were seeing on the camera. He said our pipe was in great condition (THANK GOD) and that we are good now! They were so thorough. They didn't stop cleaning until they were totally clear on the camera and we are so thankful that we didn't have to write a big check! These are the kind of guys that you want to call when you have NO idea what's going on in your sewer pipes. Honest, detailed, thorough, professional & really nice. Thank you so much.
Description of Work: They sent the camera down my clean out drain located in my basement to the main sewer in the street & also got the heavy duty coils down in there to clear out roots.

Frank first showed up as Jim's man doing the work uncovering the clay pipe connection. It was determined that it was too close to the house to get the rotor machine to provide a straight shot, so needed to come back after the clean out was installed. Frank went to another job and returned just as the clean out was finished and Jim's man was back filling the hole. I was most impressed when Frank grabbed a shovel to help move the process along so he could get to his work. Frank ran the rotor through several times to get as much as possible. The camera showed free flowing and one place where the pipe had dropped and maybe future concern. Frank suggested using Rootx to control the root growth of the large maple next to the sewer pipe.
Description of Work: Powers Septic provided sewer line cleaning and camera inspection and evaluation in conjunction with the installation of a 6" outdoor sewer clean out. Frank coordinated his time with work providing a clean out, Powers cleaned the line from the new clean out to the city sewer connect.

Went great! We used this company in the past (3 yrs, 3 months ago) and they came on a Saturday immediately after calling them. Again, I called mid-morning, and they came at 3 p.m. that day. This time Mr. Powers warned us to be aware of the pump wearing out, since the life expectancy is about 8 years and we have been here 6. He said if the alarm goes off, stop using water immediately and call them. Which we will do if this happens.
Description of Work: Mr. Powers opened my septic tank lid, injected a solution, inserted a large hose and removed the contents of the tank. He flushed it with water and inspected the tank. Replaced lid and was done. He has very long hose, so he could perform work without driving on lawn. He suggested we have this done every 2 years.

We purchased a property that we are using as a rental and in preparation for a new tenant I wanted to have the septic tank cleaned. Problem was, no one knew where the septic tank was. Mr Powers son was able to locate the tank and dig out to get access and this was no small feat since the ground was hard as a rock. He cleaned the tank and replaced the dirt. He said the tank was in good shape but it didn't look like it had been cleaned for 10-15 years. I was even more glad I had it done after he told me that since the last thing a landlord wants is to get a call for a plumbing issue. This is a family owned business and you can tell they take great pride in their work. When they show up the truck is immaculate and so are they!
