How Our Network Works

Who You Talk To

A lot of people think they will be speaking with a big company. In practice, you talk with an independent provider in our network. These are local businesses that handle septic and sewer work in the Manassas area.

Televisionspending Septic makes the introduction. The provider does the work.

What Happens on the Call

Expect a few simple questions. The provider may ask:

• What are you seeing or smelling?
• When did it start?
• Do you know when the tank was last pumped?
• Is there a basement, and has any water shown up there?

This is where your photos and notes help. Start with photos, and the call goes smoother. Providers may also suggest a visit to look at the system before giving a final price.

What to Ask a Provider

Not sure what to say? Use this short list:

• Are you licensed and insured for this work in my area?
• What is included in the estimate?
• Will the price change if you find something new?
• How long will the job take?
• Can you help document the damage for an insurance claim?
• What should I do to protect the system afterward?

Get the answers in writing. Costs vary by job, so a written quote is the simplest way to compare. Keep every quote in one folder so you can look them over side by side.

You Are in Control

Myth: once you ask for help, you have to say yes. Reality: you do not. You can ask questions, compare estimates and take your time. There is no obligation.

Estimate before action is a good rule for any homeowner.
