"Juan and his brother in law are great at what they do and very reasonable. I trust them 100 and 10 percent. I will never use anyone else because they are the best!!"
"Hired to clean up my yard and they did a great job. Ended up signing up for their lawn service and maintenance package. So far they have done a great job and they follow up with any problems or concerns very quickly."
"Precision Service came out during a special Angie's List was running at the time. Denny Nelson, was professional, thorough, and informative. After the cleaning, he informed us that our gutters needed repair in a few places and he even did what he could do to prevent them from falling down while he was cleaning, but we needed to hire someone to fix the majority of the work. He is hard-working and efficient and I would recommend his work and I believe him to be honest. "

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten 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 additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.
Cesspools do not have an outlet or discharge area, so they must be emptied regularly. A professional cesspool cleaning company should come at least every six weeks and empty the contents. If it’s not emptied, it can begin to overflow sewage waste onto your property.
All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.
The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.
Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.
Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.
