"The work that Derek and his crew did was exceptional. The estimated time for completion of the work to be done was one week, and that's exactly how long it took.  They removed an old wooden fence in the back yard and completely replaced it from the ground up with all new posts and fence boards. Derek then put together a custom fence for me in the front based on pictures that I submitted to him of what I wanted. His crew was punctual, courteous and always willing to communicate if there was a question or concern.  I was especially impressed by their actual work ethic. There was no standing around lollygagging or times of idleness, everyone made good use of their time and put in a more than a hard days work.  I am just so pleased with the job they did. The finished product was exactly what I had imagined, and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Horizon Landscaping to anyone needing their services. They are simply top notch. Thank you Horizon Landscaping!

Aquarium Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether or not it’s hard to pass a perc test depends a lot on the composition of your soil. When a perc test is conducted where there’s a high concentration of sand in the soil, perc tests almost always pass. However, if your ground is dense clay or rock, it may prove difficult to pass a perc test. A low water table also helps you pass the test, as a high table means your yard isn’t draining water as efficiently.

Never use Drano on blocked toilets. You can end up with a ghastly leak because the chemicals eat away at the glue that holds pipes together just as effectively as they do with clogs. Drano is known for being particularly rough on toilets, which is why some plumbers actually dislike the product. 

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
