"I contacted AAA to fix a leak I had on my Living room ceiling. The leak is coming from the A/C drain pipe. The course of the work involved removing one or two gypsum panels off the ceiling, fixing the leaky pvc pipe, and reinstalling gypsum.

They sent out one person who took pictures and examined the leak. He stated a quote will be provided to me either later in the day or tomorrow. A couple days later, I received the quote. The pricing was fair and fell within my estimation of the work.

I asked when the work could be done and the company stated they were behind a week. The week cam and went and I didn't hear back. I was sent out of state on business for a month. Once I got back settled in, I emailed the company again for an update. This time, I was told they were swamped with work and could not get to my issue for another month. I am very disappointed in this time-frame, but, to their defense, it has been raining alot and they are also a roofing company. I'm sure with all this rain, they are busy capping leaks.

I just thought that they could have done a little adjusting based on the fact that this quote was made in February and that I had been ready to go since the quote was made."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Leach lines are commonly made of PVC pipe, and they’re placed into trenches filled with gravel and sand, which help treat the wastewater. The PVC pipes are perforated, or drilled with small holes, so the wastewater can drain out of the pipes and into the surrounding material, which eventually leads to the aquifer.

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. 

A septic alarm can sound different depending on your system, but often, it’s a loud, repetitive beeping noise or a steady, high-pitched noise. It may also be a loud buzzing noise. To confirm the noise is your septic alarm, check your alarm box for a red light. You can also silence your alarm with a red button or switch on the box. Look for something that says “Test” or “Mute.”

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and size of your well pump.
