Next, I bought a 1931 home that was a rental. It had deferred maintenance. And the inspection report told me I would need to make some plumbing fixes. I had them replace all the tub/shower faucets and valves. I also got a new tub drain (there was evidence that at some point there had been a leak). I got a new water shut off. A new copper water line for the fridge. A new basement utility sink. New water connection to the washer. A new p-trap to the bathroom sink. I learned that the best faucets are Moen. Garrett and Abe are a great team. I do feel like Jafco is more expensive than if you hire a local one-person plumber. That might be to cover their marketing and scheduling. But Jafco can fit your in pretty quickly. So that is a nice trade-off for when your plumbing job is time sensitive.

They are friendly, respectful, courteous, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and thorough, and they are solution-oriented problem-solvers. They are superheroes who saved us from a seemingly unsolvable nightmare, after so many others refused to help us at all. Whether your tank is a challenge or not, we highly recommend you reach out to Green Latrine. When we bought our home in 2000, we were assured that the septic tank had just been pumped because it was a required step before transferring ownership. The prior owners marked the location of the tank lids with metal stakes, and told us to make sure to remember where those were, for future servicing. We had never had a septic system before, but we learned that they should be pumped every few years. Over the last 25 years, we called MANY septic companies to arrange for service, but they all failed to ever come out -- some would cancel, some would not return calls, some agreed to get us on the schedule but instead would ghost us altogether. In December of 2025, after 25 years of being unable to get the tank pumped, our toilets and showers stopped draining, and we had to try again to persuade ANYONE to help us. No one would even come help us locate the tank lids. We called company after company, and this time we discovered that apparently our steep, rural easement road was too treacherous for any of them to attempt to drive up with a heavy waste-tank truck. We spent an entire month using a camping bucket toilet in our bathroom, and showering at friends' houses, because all our water use was backing up into the house, and we had lost all hope of ever getting our plumbing working again. Finally, one septic company, who said that their own truck was too big to navigate our easement road, recommended we call Green Latrine because, although they primarily handle portable construction and event toilets, they also do septic pumping and that their smaller-capacity trucks might be able to make the climb. The referring company warned us that with a completely overfull septic tank, a small truck might need to make two separate trips, and we should be prepared to pay full price for two separate service visits. When we called Green Latrine and explained the challenges to drive up our road, Paul Brown, the operations manager, said he thought his team might be right for the job. Doing something challenging and different could be a great change of pace, and he was pretty sure team member Matt White, their guru driver, would be thrilled to give our road a try. Matt can maneuver their trucks, even the larger ones, into the most complicated areas. Paul told us he would consult with his team to decide if they would tackle our road. When Paul called back, he said they could come on Saturday, only a couple of days later, and that Matt wanted to come along for the adventure even though it was his day off. They wanted to save us money, so instead of multiple visits, the plan was to bring both a large truck and a small one, and then empty the small tank into the larger truck that was left downhill, if a second round was needed. Despite Matt's best efforts, our road was, indeed, too difficult for the big truck, so Tim Brown skillfully navigated the small truck up the easement. Whenever we had plumbing issues in past homes, the plumbers would make comments about the waste, and express disgust, and we always felt embarrassed. Now we had 25+ years of waste, and a tank that was 20 years overdue for service, so we braced ourselves for negative judgement. But instead, these guys were cheerful and chipper, and interested in the opportunity to see how a long-standing accumulation is different from their more routine appointments. We asked a lot of questions about how the tank functions, and how their equipment worked, as well as general conversation. At the end of the day, our septic tank was empty, and our fears were remedied. We won't have waste backing up into the house anymore. And now we know who to call for the next periodic service. We are extremely grateful and impressed with Green Latrine, and their team's work ethic and willingness to tackle this challenge we had no way to solve.

This was my first time hiring 2 Sons Plumbing & Sewer. I picked them due to their immediate…read moreavailability, flexibility for doing two separate plumbing jobs on one visit, and positive reviews on Yelp. The work I needed done was the installation of a 50-gal electric hot water heater (plus haul away of the old one) and the diagnosis/replacement of a corroded waste line connector for a garbage disposal. When I set up my appointment, I made sure to clarify that I wasn't going to be charged for the service visit, or additionally, for any diagnostic steps. Keep this in mind if you're considering them because it's probably a better idea to go with a plumbing company that won't charge you just to come out and physically look at the work you want done. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry, not because something was broken, but due to the fact that completing the work quickly was pivotal to getting a condo sale to the finish line. I was able to schedule my appointment for as early as Monday despite making the initial contact with 2 Sons Plumbing on Thursday (they could've come sooner, but I opted to avoid the extra "rush" or weekend fees by waiting until Monday). One thing I didn't like about their business model is there's no upfront cost for general jobs (i.e., install a hot water heater) or any idea of hourly charges. For instance, with Lowe's and/or Home Depot, I could call and get quotes for this type of work from their subcontractors. Going through Fast Water Heater (Lowe's preferred subcontractor), a 50-gal water heater installation might run between $2,200 and $2,400 depending on the model of hot water heater (the purchase of which is included in the quote). I ended up buying a new water heater from Home Depot ($871 after taxes) a couple of days prior to my appointment with 2 Sons Plumbing, and hauling it up a few flights of stairs to the condo in order to save money. I would later find out that, had I bought the 50-gal electric water heater carried in the back of the 2 Sons Plumbing Truck, it would've cost $3600 (I have no idea why it was this expensive). In the end, I paid 2 Sons Plumbing $1870 after taxes for the installation of the Home Depot Water Heater and haul-away of my old one ($2700+ if you include the price of the hot water heater I bought on my own). In addition to the hot water heater install, I ended up paying for a new garbage disposal plus its installation because the corrosion in the waste line was so bad that new parts were needed (which they didn't have). It made more sense to just replace the whole thing (current garbage disposal was 10+ years old)--This came out to $786.88 after taxes and a 3% convenience fee for using a credit card. Overall, it was a good experience thanks to the knowledge/prep work I had done for 2 Sons Plumbing before going with them. The final cost to me certainly had the potential to be much higher had I let 2 Sons Plumbing provide or do everything. The job took about 6 hours to complete, and I paid in the ballpark of $2500 for the hourly rates (?) plus the purchase of a basic garbage disposal and a minuscule amount of parts. I overheard that the general hourly rate is $400, so what I paid aligns with that. The amount of contact and post-job follow up documentation I received (emails; texts; invoices; etc.) was thorough but also annoying (I.e., solicitation for reviews). All things considered, here's how I'd rate things: Availability/Communication: 5/5 Cost: 2/5 Technician: 5/5 Invoice/Follow-up: 3/5

Initially, Sterling told me that there would be no one available until Monday morning, but offered me info on another company if I wanted to check with them instead. But then, within the hour, they figured out a way to get the last of their guys who was still out in the field over to my place for a diagnosis. Guy was here in under an hour. What's more, to make sure everything was well and truly addressed, the boss himself stopped by on his way to a birthday party to offer a little oversight, hands-on assistance, and some on-the-job staff training. Sterling ended up pumping my tanks, which was fine, but there was no charge for the extra service call, which was even better, and everything was resolved by 6:00 PM. These folks could have easily said, sorry, can't do anything until Monday, and I would have understood. Instead, they went the extra mile for a good customer - and now they've ensured that they'll keep that customer for many years to come. That's the way to do business and I thought you Yelpers would want to know.

I contacted hemleys during October 27th for a full septic tank that appeared to be failing. On Oct…read more27th they came out replaced a burned out pump and stated there was drawdown issues on our lateral lines. The 29th they came out again to try and diagnose/fix the issue. Eventually while we were at work they left, I got no phone call or communication and the massive hole in our yard filled back in destroying the landscape. I eventually reached someone by phone requesting an update, thinking our septic was resolved. One of the tehcs told us our DRAINFIELD has failed and they tried a temporary fix, but until it can be rectified pooling will occur in the yard if too much water used in the home. I was told on the phone by the tech that unfortunately this could be close to a 30k fix and it was left at that, with no guidance on what to do or where to go. I paid my bills right away to hemleys that week for the work they did complete. This process ended up taking Nov until February to rectify due to the misdiagnosis from hemleys. I had to pay $5000 to a drainfield designer pay numerous fees to the County for inspection which all took time. Meanwhile we had pooling in our yard and could not fully use our water and appliances in a house hold of 4. A massive 8ft by 8ft deep hole was in the center of our backyard all this time from testing by designer and county. Eventually, I found a very reputable septic company to complete the design work from the designer. Within hrs of the septic company starting the job and doing some basic diligence they discovered 2 of the 4 lines had valves closed/broken and that was all that needed to be replaced. Fortunately, this company was honest and came forward with the information. However, hemleys cost my family nearly 8k in unnecessary work hiring a designer, other fees all due to this misdiagnosed failing drain field. On April 22, 2026 I respectfully asked for a manager or owner of Hemleys to discuss this issue. I was told to provide the documents from the last company and they reviewed county records. I supplied this within minutes. I then never received a single phone call or update as I called daily until 4/30/26. I was consistently told the owner and or manager are not available on several days. And then the manager after 2 days of that stated the owner has not reviewed this yet. This was an extreme inconvenience to our household and costly due to the negligence that made for several months of an inoperable septic tank when this issue could have been resolved in a few hours like our newly hired company completed. At this time we have been blown off by this company we had used and recommended for years. Based on the data and information we have we will continue escalating this in the necessary manner legally as we have the emails sent to our designer from Hemleys supporting them diagnosing failing drain field, that in fact was no where near failing.
