"DAVID IS AMAZING ! I have a 10 foot long closet that i tried fixing myself 3 times and it was a nightmare that wouldnâ  t end my clothes were all on the ground and my room was a mess ! Nobody would take the job and if they were willing to hear my story their price was astronomical. I called the cleaners and builders and David and i agreed on a fair price and picked a day for him to get started working on the closet, his flexibility was perfect for my schedule. He put the closet up extremely professional and was nice and upfront about the whole process it was extremely hard to find an honest handyman and let me tell you for now on heâ  s my guy ! Also as a bonus after the job was done he followed up came back to check if everything was good and also refunded me the amount from the materials that were refundable after the job was done. 10/10 in my book ! Thank you again for resolving my closet problem in such a timely manner."

"This review of Mark Ruppert and his team is submitted by two very happy homeowners. 
We came to our home in the fall of 2011.  We "inherited" the former owner's lawn service.  Over several years, we became dissatisfied with that service and reviewed recommendations on Angie's List in hopes of finding a new lawn care service provider.  Our Angie's List search brought us, serendipitously, to Mark Ruppert. 
We walked the property with Mark in late September 2013.  We were impressed with Mark's demeanor, level of expertise, and common sense approach to what we viewed as "problem" areas on the property.  Given this very favorable first interview, and after considering options, we decided to hire Mark Ruppert's service.  My husband and I have been thanking our lucky stars ever since! 
Very shortly after we hired Mark, we needed a patio built in our back yard to support a hot tub.  We asked Mark for a proposal.  The schematic that Mark presented for review was inventive, aesthetically lovely, and beautifully detailed.  We accepted the proposal and went forward with the project with Mark at the helm. 
A pre-existing drainage system was discovered during excavation.  Changes to the original plan were needed.  Mark came up with an equally attractive, new outline for the patio to accommodate the older, pre-existent drainage system.  Mark then engineered an elegant solution that addressed the overall poor drainage in our back yard area.  
Mark's communication skills (via phone or email) were always first rate.  We were never left wondering what was going on or what was going to happen next. 
Mark and his crew consistently produced a level of quality work that was exemplary in every respect.  From inception in mid-October 2013 to completion of the project in 2014, we have been immeasurably enthusiastic about everything that Mark Ruppert and his superior crew have done to enhance the beauty of our property. 
In summation, Mark Ruppert and his team bring with them to the jobsite an admirable work ethic, impressive creativity, commitment to please, a well-honed sense for detail, and exceptionally high quality work.  My husband and I are delighted to know that Mark Ruppert and his employees are now servicing our "outside space."  Mark Ruppert has developed a stellar organization and we are looking forward to enjoying Mark's superb services for years to come.  We are absolutely thrilled to have found him.  Thank you, Mark, and
thank you, Angie!

The final portion of the work, laying gravel and asphalt, the raking, rolling, grading and paving went smoothly and expeditiously with no errors or problems to complete the job. Crew were friendly, polite, very careful working on our property, cleaning up after themselves and extremely hard-working Price was very reasonable for all the work involved."

"I was so lucky to find Zoe's ProEdge! Kelly, one of the owners, saved the day on several last minute projects that arose when selling my home. She arrived promptly at the scheduled time each day, was kind, considerate, focused and her work is impeccable. Especially important to me, Kelly offered creative solutions to problems throughout. At the end of each day, the areas she occupied were cleaned and spotless. I would use Zoe's again without hesitation!"

Aquarium Services FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

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.

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.
