About the waste water disposal?
SamIam

That would be it!
If I were you, I wouldn't see him as a competition. The customers we're targeting don't like to see that stuff in an ad

Well he's in the same business I'm in and charges money for it, I don't view anybody where I'm at as competition.
But in reality we're all trying to get work and stay busy in a competitive type business.
He's got 14 5 star reviews on Yelp that where I pulled it from.
I've got 47 reviews with a 5 star avg.
Nobody else locally has more then 20.
He has a lot more on Facebook.

I've see Him twice working and the second time he let fly with his waste right in the street.

Lastly I hear from people all the time saying can I see the dirty water?
I kindly tell them it needs to go into a sewer line so it can be reclaimed.
That there's a fine for illegal dumping.

Sam, can you decant a little into a white bucket? Or perhaps, show those ones what is inside your filter?
I would think that picture would horrify the average left coaster, not attract them. Perhaps if you mentioned "safe, legal and environmentally sensitive disposal" on your Yelp. If Schmedlap & Co is dumping that vomit in the street, take the high ground.

Could it be that it is not dumping and Sam's "competitor" is a connoisseur of sorts:

To bad he didn't post a video of him dumping it. That would be gold.

using a clear inline filter lets the customer see the dirty water safely. I have a clear plexi-glass pump out that I use on larger jobs. Some people are just mesmerized by it. Can't believe that's coming out of their carpets.

Yep. Wimmin are SO competitive.
"Is that the worst you've seen?"
I rate the slops on the Cocoa scale, lol.
Always give them at least a 7.

I always say I've seen worse to ease their embarrassment.
I don't care what my competitors do, I try to keep it positive and upbet. Post pics of nice homes and clean carpts. Leave the negative stuff for the hacks to battle it out.

That alone my friend, will pay off "big time"! People just want to deal with positive people..
