Core & Main

Rip off artist. Prices were 28% higher across the board on all pipe and drainage items. Prices at Ewing outdoor supply were much less on everything. Both have good service people but be sure to shop around before you buy.

I put in my own Septic ...and I put in my own water Well ( dug with a backhoe 16 ft down) For a remote property. Who are they: They sell water, sewer and drain products Cast iron , abs, hdpe, copper, aluminum. Why would a home owner need them. If you are a do it yourselfer! That's why! Paying a contractor, an engineer, etc to put in a septic could cost 15-25,000 in anchorage. F()k that! I was off the grid. But wanted a legit septic. Core and main sells schedule 40 plumbing pipe. French drainpipe. Manhole covers... I picked up 10' pipe 90-45 degree fittings Splices , valves, t's, caps and glue. Geo textile fabric to keep dirt from my " French drain" to keep my property dry The best part. I wanted a 20' section of hdpe for a well. Holy Moses. This stuff is like gold in Alaska. It's a thousand dollars plus...and is sold like hot cakes. Road construction sucks it up. I wanted 36 or 48" Hard to acquire sizes. Ferguson..... special order. Another place..... special order. I'm not totally sure who the main customers are here . Subdivision creators? The state? Cities? They were so accommodating to this small ( not to me) customer. Helped me load, smiled , asked questions. Answered questions. I was incredibly surprised this low overhead, outdoor lot , construction focused , PROFESSIONAL, outfit. Held me by the hand and Sold me what I needed...,NOT what I asked for ! My review scratches the surface. They sell From what I can tell. Anything for your business. Where the utility stops. From hospital to home built cabin in the woods With 10 star customer service.
