I recently sought quotes from 3 radon mitigation companies for work in my crawl space in an old…read morehome. Two other companies sent out inspectors and offered me quotes based on that inspection. Central Illinois Radon declined to inspect first, after 3 offers on my part to have them see it first, and committed several times in writing to a quote that came in under the other bids. Specifically, I asked, "Since you did not do an inspection, how can I best compare this to other quotes I have gotten, some of which are coming in higher? If I go with you, is this really all I will pay? Thanks again!" He replied, "Hi Meghan, my estimates are firm. Unless there is something out of the ordinary with the home? I've never increased the price of an install. If I under bid the project I take the hit sort of speak. Some Companies hire laborers and aren't on site completing the work themselves which drives up the cost. I'm on site completing the install. Hope this helps." I replied, "I guess the only crawl space I know is my own, so I don't know what is and is not ordinary. The home is old (as you know) but has had a lot of additions over the years, I think it's a bit atypical? I did get another estimate in that wasn't super high, though it did come in above yours. I'd be happy to move forward if you feel comfortable doing so. If you prefer to inspect first, I of course would understand that." He confirmed no need for inspection and that the price would remain firm. When they arrived to do the job today, they spent 10 minutes down there and told me there is no way to mitigate radon and that they were not able to complete the job -and left. Again, two other companies determined, after inspection, that the mitigation is indeed possible. So it seems that either Central Illinois Radon essentially backed out of their written commitment to eat the higher cost, OR they are not in fact capable to do radon mitigation like other companies in town who ostensibly own the same kind of business. Meanwhile the next company (one of the original bidders) can't get me in for another 7 weeks, which may impact my closing date on my house, and that's on top of the costs and hassle in the way I'd planned my day (e.g., paid to board my dog) and the other projects around the scheduled mitigation. It was a shocking and frustrating experience and I'd caution all to avoid working with the company, as they back out of commitments at best and are not capable at worst.

David helped us with Radon mitigation. They offer the best prices for best job. It took us just 7…read moredays from quote to actual installation. Fine job done. Values went from over 6 to under 0.50 now. Highly recommended. They quote the best prices in Central Illinois, I compared them with 5 other providers.

Another great experience with HAUL IT OFF!…read more We were in town for the weekend to help our family prepare for an estate sale, So we ordered a dumpster to be delivered that Saturday morning with the option of getting another that day if needed. Rick, the owner, was very helpful in meeting our timeline. To be sure we had the dumpster by Saturday morning, he delivered it on Friday. We did fill the first dumpster by Noon and called to order a second one. No problem. He arrived in a short time. Then, before taking the first dumpster away, he and his crew helped us load some heavy things into the second dumpster and gave us tips on how best to pack the remaining space. The pricing was very clear. The delivery and pick-up were prompt and professional. The extra service provided was amazing. Such a blessing to have such a high-quality family business in the area! Thanks again to HAUL IT OFF.

I recently called Haul It Off to help me clear out my mother's house. I only had a few days left in…read moretown and they kindly fit me into their schedule. Most household items and the furniture were sold already but I still had things to keep. I sectioned off my keep piles and told them everything else goes. I grew up in the house and my mom lived there for nearly 50 years! She loved Christmas, crafts, sewing and gardening. The basement and garage were full of projects and scraps. Rick and his very helpful sons came in and hauled all the extra stuff to the dumpster they provided. They were done in a couple hours. It would have taken me days of painful effort to load the dumpster myself, plus they know how to load it efficiently. They were careful about moving things out and very respectful and polite. I enjoyed working with them. I was able to pay for their service with the money from the garage sales and had plenty left. They gave me an accurate estimate before they came. I highly recommend Rick and Haul It Off in Clinton! (And once the house was finally cleaned out it sold in less than a week!)

ALPHA DRAINS Outstanding Septic Service…read more We were preparing a deceased relative's home for sale and noticed that the toilets were very slow, and suspected some significant issues with the septic system. We contacted three local septic services and the first two services were unable to locate the necessary access points and components of the septic system, which had not been serviced for 5-6 years. However, Eric Bustamante, owner of ALPHA DRAINS (our third provider), after considerable effort was able to find the necessary access points to pump out the underground tanks and provide a clear understanding of this complex septic system. It then took two trips to pump out the system. Eric also found that there were also some obstructions in the system, which required another trip. He performed a drain line video inspection to locate and eventually clear the clogs. Now the system is operating properly. Eric provided clear communications about the necessary septic services and pricing. He was prompt for appointments and demonstrated a high standard for his work. We would highly recommend ALPHA DRAINS, LLC, and would use them again.

Jake Bennett: Very professional…read more Very reasonable hourly rates considering his skills 1. He handled custom squadcar electronics installations for the Lincoln City Police and Logan County Sheriff Departments. 2. He installed the Logan County Courthouse security cameras. 3. He handled my office Lucent multi-telephone system reprogramming. Quite complex. 4. He successfully custom connected my car's radar detector, wired it under the passenger side visor to a kickpanel fuse panel so that it's on automatically when my car is running and off when my car is off. 5. He handled replacing my house's over-the-air TV antenna. Involved operating a bucket lift to get to it then the electronics knowledge to maximize my TV reception. He's a smart problem solver. Money well spent.
