"We wanted a drought tolerant easy care yard without looking like we were living in a desert. We researched landscapers extensively and when Joe Parker came out to give us a quote we knew we had found our contractor. Joe is professional, ahead of the curve, and so creative. He transformed the yard and the entire feel of our home. When we come home at night we feel as if we have magically been transported to a wonderful mountain retreat, and yet it fits in beautifully with the neighborhood. The yard has become a bit of celebrity by itself with people stopping to look, take pictures and ask questions. Joe incorporated some of our existing plants and trees, gave us a gorgeous driveway and entry, and stayed right on budget. It was one of those situations where we wanted something but were not quite sure what that was or how to describe it..... and Joe just made it happen. You can engage him with complete confidence as he meets all his commitments and timelines. Exquisite, cutting edge, best home improvement money spent to date!"

Aquarium Services questions, answered by experts

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

Natural bacteria break down sludge in a septic tank by dissolving and consuming the solid waste. Your septic tank needs this bacteria to work correctly and avoid filling beyond capacity. You can increase the natural bacteria in your septic tank by adding three rotten tomatoes through your garbage disposal every three months.

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.
