DJ did a great job explaining the procedure to install septic port. Very knowledgeable and professional. As you can see from the pictures he had to call in the Calvary for parts. Everyone pitched in for a successful completion. Really nice seeing a team work together.

Where to begin price gouging this company tried to charge me between $600 and $800 to change out the thermostat on a water heater. All those other four star five star reviews are freeing the family they're just trying to bring in business to this company. The thermostat for my water heater is located at our local Lowe's for $19.98. Also a new water heater at Lowe's cost $452 for 40 gallon electric water heater.
