"I would not recommend. I am a real estate agent and contracted this company to install a radon mitigation system in a home prior to closing based on a high radon level test during inspection. I met the company rep at the property and he quoted a system later that day after inspecting the home. The system was installed two weeks later and a retest came back more than double the level of the initial test. This company claims they have a warranty to cover any system modification to get the levels below 2.0. The company sent a crew back out twice and yesterday said the slab is too thick for the system they installed, the hole the installers drilled is too narrow and the home is in a flood zone. We knew the home was in a flood zone, but this company never asked about that and did not do any due diligence prior to installation. They are refusing to honor their warranty and are now quoting a different system that is much more costly. Can?t recommend."

At E. Garrity Water Solutions we focus on quality water improvements over quantity. We use our years of experience and expertise to complete your project with perfection. Customer service and honesty are the most important aspects of our business, and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please call us today for an estimate. We look forward to working with you.

"For weeks, we were getting less and less water from our faucets. Finally, we were down to a dispiriting trickle. A first visit from Garrity did not resolve the issue. When, concerned, I called back several days later, they immediately dispatched Joe and Cody, who arrived w/n 15 min. They probed deeply to find out the cause, discovering a cracked pipe and failing well pump, dating from about 30 years ago. They installed a new pump and new well cap up to current code and ensured that the water coming from the well was bacteria-free. This am, Joe was back by 8 am to show us how to flush all chlorine residues from our system and explain what he had done. Joe was determined, undaunted and kept at it until he found the cause of the inadequate water pressure--despite the late evening hour yesterday. His explanations were informative, clear every step of the way and helped us understand what was going on. He was patient, amiable and very good at what he does. Thank you Joe, Cody and Garrity!"

"After Garrity refused to repair the (very) expensive damage they negligently caused to the heating element in the water pipe providing water to my home, I had to sue. Don?t trust them. Don?t hire them. Don?t go near them. If you think they are the gold standard, as I did, just ask other professionals in the same business. Beware, stay away from them."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

It only takes a few days for a septic tank to fill with water after a pro has pumped it. This is completely normal, and the water is a vital part of your septic system’s wastewater treatment process. The water that fills your tank days after pumping is not the same as the tank being filled with waste. You shouldn’t have to pump your septic system more than once every three to five years unless you have a tank that’s too small for your home’s water output or there’s a problem with your leach field. 

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

On average, septic systems last between 15 and 20 years. However, with proper care and routine septic maintenance, you may be able to extend your septic system’s life span to 30 years (or more). Some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape include scheduling a professional inspection every two to five years and reducing the flow of wastewater into your system.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.
