I called Alto Sewer Service to clear a blocked pipe to our septic system. They were nice on the phone and came out promptly, Rick, the technician, seemed pleasant and got to work. He was not able to clear the obstruction and mentioned we may need to hire a plumber to take out sheetrock and modify some of our waste pipes to accommodate a clean out entrance and that he could not do anything more until that was complete. When I had made the appointment, I was told that the cost would be $165.00. He worked from 3:00 to 3:50 and the bill was $225.00, without fixing our problem. The next day a plumber stopped by and said that Rick neglected to take the cover off the drain to reveal the clean out. The plumber had the pipe cleared and charged a lot less to really clear the clog. I feel that Alto misrepresented their service and I emailed Mike, the owner to correct the situation on September 24th, 2022. To date, I have not heard back from him. I will never refer any business their way. I feel like they seem nice, but are liars, cheaters, and stealers. Stay way away from this organization. Mike now has left a message for me, but doesn’t answer the phone or call me back.

Came when they said they would, made the repair I needed, and the price was reasonable.

Questions & Answers

Are chemical drain cleaners ok to use with a septic sytem?

Alto Sewer Service | Oct 30, 2021

No - Septic systems use bacteria to eliminate pathogens in waste. The drain cleaners can kill the good enzymes and bacteria in your tank and can be damaging to the tank itself.

Are chemical drain cleaners bad for unclogging drains?

Alto Sewer Service | Oct 30, 2021

They are designed to be strong so that they can cut through hair, grease and more. But they are corrosive and can damage pipes. If you are using drain cleaners frequently, you should call a plumber to properly clean out the drain.

Can tree roots damage sewer pipes?

Once roots get into your pipes they will continue to grow and will cause a complete blockage of your sewer line. They can also break apart the sewer pipe if they get too large.

Call a plumber right away. Your pipes have frozen and have pressure building up. This is what leads to burst pipes.

An open faucet will have a slow trickle or no water at all. Also check your water meter. If It shows movement when all water fixtures are off, it could mean a pipe has burst.
