Red flag
Critical diagnostic failure on septic work—crew incorrectly concluded septic tank was under trailer and not serviceable, charged $195 for 27 minutes of work, and competitor located the tank the next day and completed the job. Homeowner reports crew provided 'zero proof' and company refused refund.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I will never recommend this company. I had an appointment that was changed by them twice. After finally making it on the third appointment. The guys came out and could not find the septic tank. They poked all around the building and, with a phone call, determined the septic tank was under the trailer, therefore, not serviceable. They then gave me a quote for $10,000.00. Since I did not commit at the time, they …”
Positive
“We had to replace our main water line on rather quick notice, which was no easy feat with a 300 plus stretch of various tree roots, sprinkler lines, and pool lines in the way. Tampa Bay Plumbers, Mike Benson and crew did a fantastic job of avoiding breaking all obstacles and laying a new line quickly and professionally. The project passed inspection within 24 hours and we are happily up and running again. Thank …”
“Denis and Roland were a pleasure to work with. We had a detailed plan and restrictions we needed to work within for our project. They were able to complete everything that was asked of them, in a timely manner and at a great price! Definitely would recommend for your plumbing needs.”
