Scam Artists. My husband and I just purchased a house and in the P&S the septic system needed to be repaired: replaced D-box, jetter service, 4 x 8' lengths of piping replaced, septic tank emptied and new filter. When we moved in a month later, the septic tank cover was hidden in the ground and we couldn't find it. Two months after we moved in we noticed some fluid leakage near the house and were concerned that there might be a crack in pipes somewhere or some other issue so we wanted to find out and address it asap. We called Corinth Plumbing and Heating because they were the ones that did the work 3 months ago, they said it would be $85 to just come out to find it. The next day, Friday, a younger guy came out and couldn't find the tank.. They claim to have emptied it and replaced a filter 3 months ago and they can't remember where they did work? We were concerned that the fluid was overflow but couldn't understand how two people could fill it up so quickly as it had only been 3 months since they emptied it. The guy said the filter in the tank is probably clogged, but they just put in a new one (supposedly) and that it is very easy for two people to fill a 1000 gallon tank. It was all very sketchy. He called his boss, but had to walk about 20 feet away to quietly speak with him (why so secretive?) and said the boss could come out to try to find it. We asked if he could come out on Monday, and he said he could come tomorrow (Saturday) (No mention of extra charge). Great. The boss came out on Saturday with about a 250 gallon truck (our tank is a 1000 gallon) we asked him not to park the truck near our well (didn't want any sewage to drip near the well) and he ignored our request and parked near the well. He said he couldn't remember where the tank was either, poked around with a rod for a while, my husband did some digging to try to find the cover, they guy gave up after about 30 min, said he could come out with a camera for $750 to try to find it from the pipe in the house. He also said repairing pipes could cost thousands of dollars ( he actually mentioned $50,000 as the high end possibility!) When he gave us the slip for the service for that day it was $275! He charged $90 to come out and $185 for two hours of work! When we told him he wasn't here for 2 hours, he said he charges for travel (Corinth is 25 min away).. And when we told him we thought it was $85 to come out, he said there is an extra charge for coming out on the weekend. No one ever told us that. The icing on the cake is that we had a different company come out who had serviced the place 9 years ago before the last owners, he told us that the fluid we had leaking was laundry water and had a good idea where the tank was. He found it after poking around for about 20 min and when he opened it up, the tank was filled to within 6 inches of the top with a very old thick layer of sludge. When he heard that Corinth claimed to have emptied the tank 3 months ago, this new guy said, "No way it was emptied 3 months ago with all that sludge even with a clogged filter!" When we told this guy who they were, he had several stories of others who came to him after Corinth who had been scammed into paying loads of money for something that shouldn't have cost that much. The guys at Corinth Plumbing and Heating are scam artists. They charged the previous owners $300 to empty a tank they never emptied and in which they could not have changed a filter for $87.50 (tank has to be emptied to change the filter). They overcharged for a visit in which they did nothing, and if we had them come out again to continue the search for the tank I have no doubt that they would have come up with other made up stories to charge us thousands of dollars for. And now we don't even know if they did the other work legitimately. Imagine us trying to go another 4 years without emptying the tank thinking it was emptied! Do not use these guys...unless you want to be scammed out of hundreds or thousands of dollars, never mind time lost and stress! read more
