## The honest read

A recent Google customer said Diffley and Daughters connected their home to the City of Warwick sewer system and installed a new water line, and that when the driveway settled during the winter, they came to the property and leveled the entire driveway. The company's website lists drain cleaning, sewer installation, drain and sewer camera inspections, high-pressure water jetting, sewer repairs and catch basins among its work, and says it has been in business for 50 years. Its stated service area lists towns including West Greenwich, Coventry, Warwick and Providence.

A recent customer had a house switched from its original cesspool to an E1 pump system hooked up to city sewage, started and finished in a day. A recent customer said the company came quickly for a septic pumping and helped them understand their septic system better. A recent customer had their septic pumped on time with Andy.

A 2022 r/RhodeIsland commenter said they use Diffley for septic work and that it has always been great. A 2022 r/RhodeIsland commenter who said they are a licensed plumber in the septic business wrote that they would definitely not recommend Diffley, using the words "shady" and "underhanded".

**Strengths:**
- Sewer hookup — a recent customer was connected to the City of Warwick system
- One-day sewer switch — a recent customer's cesspool conversion started and finished in a day
- Driveway follow-up — a recent customer said they leveled a settled driveway

**Concerns:**
- Reddit warning — a 2022 commenter would definitely not recommend Diffley
