"The end result of our work with Exoticus Botanicus has been great. Our backyard is beautiful and much more functional. The contractor had great design ideas. Getting to the end of this project was painful and took much longer than estimated. I found numerous problems which had to be fixed - I think the contractor should have found these problems. In one instance, concrete was poorly poured and looked bad. I immediately raised this issue with the contractor but it was only after weeks of discussion that this was fixed. Our backyard was over-planted, which meant it looked good when the company left but has since become overgrown - this has resulted in later problems and unnecessary expense. The contractor recommended placing rocks as a foundation for our fountain - I asked if we should have a concrete foundation but was assured the rocks should suffice. The fountain has not stayed level and I often have to re-level it - I will eventually get it fixed (the problem is that when not leveled, the fountain quickly loses water). The worst part of this experience relates to the flagstones. We told the contractor that we wanted the flagstone pieces for our patio to be large. The subcontractor cut the stones small. We kept telling the contractor and even the subcontractor what we wanted but still the stones were cut smaller than we desired. It was only with considerable effort, redoing some of the work and extra expense that we got what we wanted. The entire project was spaced out over a long period and the job took 2 months longer than originally estimated. There were periods when no work was occurring. The contractor's own people (vs. subcontractors) only came on the weekend. Other positives: Our sliding doors did not slide easily (fairly jammed) after the works was done - it seemed dust from the stone cutting fouled the rolling mechanisms. The contractor offered to take care of this problem. This company did a fairly good job cleaning up after themselves. Overall, I love our backyard remodel and it has improved our quality of home-life. The whole process should have been much easier."

"The all in one comprehensive service meant less people to communicate with and a more efficient workflow from start to finish.  And they met their deadlines.  I plan on using KS Construction in the future."

"Kevin works with an extensive team of seasoned professionals who know their craft. Everyone was knowledgeable, courteous and helpful throughout. 
We went over our initial budget, partly because some electrical problems from an earlier renovation arose that needed repairing, and partly because we added a number of bells and whistles after the initial estimate. But for example, the custom maple cabinetry cost far less than we were quoted elsewhere and included a lot of special touches, such as an appliance garage, a cutlery drawer, and a pull-out, multi-shelf spice drawer. 
At each step in the process, Kevin kept us apprised of costs and got our approval before any work was done. And for all the extras we requested during construction, we had a brand-new kitchen just a couple of days after the original estimated completion date. We couldn?t be happier with the results. Every remodeling job has its glitches and challenges, and ours was no exception, but Kevin went the extra mile to make sure were getting our dream kitchen. And in the end, that?s exactly what we got. Our new kitchen is a joy to cook in ? and we have Kevin and his team to thank for that.

Aquarium Services questions, answered by experts

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

Septic tank odors can happen because of a few different issues with your septic system, such as a full tank, clogged drains, or blocked venting systems. Not only is a smelly septic tank pretty unpleasant, but it can also pose a potential hazard to yourself and your home. Toxic fumes could be hanging around, or untreated wastewater could be harming the environment.

Routine maintenance prevents blockages or backups, promoting system longevity. Awareness of water usage, waste disposal, and protective cover plants enhances care.
