Where do I even start. Tom's response time, willingness to help and providing me with exceptional…read moreservice was considerably appreciated. It was already late in the day when I found out our septic tank was overflowing. He genuinely listened to my concerns and made the drive out to the property to help resolve the issue in a timely manner. Tom kept me updated with his findings and was able to pump the septic tank and even spent the extra time to help explain the layout/setup. My husband and I are not familiar septic systems and we are also operating remotely. So having someone like Tom, who is skillful, honest and methodical really eases our anxiety. Tom, I can't thank you enough for the careful work and time you spent with us on the phone. We appreciate all your feedback, tips on maintenance and your willingness to get the job done right. THANK YOU!

These days this review would already have me thinking wow sounds great I should give them a call considering most companies don't even get back to you, but just so you know they did much more than simply provide us with basic service that should be an industry standard! They then began the job for us and followed up with pictures and videos without even a request because they knew we were out of town. They worked quickly and efficiently communicating with us throughout the process. After arriving to see what had been done for us we quickly realized our expectations were but a sliver of what was accomplished! If you need a septic, driveway, land clearing, gravel, and I'm sure much more you need to give them a call. We can't say enough good things they went above and beyond, we couldn't image a better experience with anyone else.

The low ratings on all service platforms (Yelp, Google, HomeAdviser and Angie's list should be telling. They put a replacement septic pump in and 6 months later it was toast. Their technician took the "lazy" route diagnosing the issue and didn't even or should I say could not pull the pump out of the septic tank because instead of using a screw on clamp decided to glue it. So he chalks it up to a "field line problem" to the leech field. I stood to spend thousands of dollars digging up the road to inspect the leech field. Instead after trying for 9 days to get these guys out to fix this pump under warranty I had to engage a second septic company. They came out the next day, pointed out all the issue with the install, most importantly that the septic pump had no footer and was sitting on the bottom of the tank. Hence the diaphragm had wore out because the intake value was clogged with debris. I ended up taking them to court won the initial small claim because I guess he didn't I was going to show up and filed an appeal. At that point I didn't care whether I won or lost the appeal. The inconvenience of Tim Milk having to hire a lawyer, pull his tech out of the files and into the court room was justice enough for me. They are incompetent, poor customer service and over charge on even their most basic service pumping out the tanks. DON'T USE THEM!!

That worked out for us as we needed more time to try to find the lid since grass and weeds had grown over (they charge extra for excavation).

***SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME AND ENERGY. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CHOICE ONE PLUMBING. ***…read more My 79-year-old widowed grandmother hired Choice One Plumbing after winter storms in East Tennessee left her without a working toilet for over a week. She was quoted $12,000 for the repair and signed a contract she could not read. We later learned this price was nearly double what other licensed plumbers in the area estimated for the same work. When I contacted the owner, Robert Rutherford, to ask about the large price discrepancy, he stated that the employee who provided the quote was "from California" and had used California pricing. Robert ultimately agreed to void the original contract and issue a new one, but only after the cost was challenged. The project itself took weeks to complete, with multiple missed return appointments and repeated promises that were not kept. After the job was finally finished, construction debris--including lumber and a ladder--was left throughout the yard. My elderly grandmother attempted to clean it up herself until I contacted the company again. Although I was told someone would come the next morning, no one arrived until I called back later that afternoon. Robert Rutherford portrays himself as a man of his word who puts his customers first, but his conduct--and the conduct of his employees--demonstrates the complete opposite. Overall, the experience was stressful, drawn out, and required constant follow-up to get basic commitments fulfilled. I would strongly encourage others to avoid this business entirely and find someone more reliable.
