"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

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.

Yes, it is generally okay to oversize a well pressure tank, and it will not harm your well system. The primary advantage is that a larger tank reduces frequent pump cycling, leading to longer, slower cycles with fewer startups. This can result in less wear and tear, potentially increasing the lifespan of the pump and conserving energy. However, there are drawbacks to consider. Oversized tanks have a higher upfront cost and require more physical space. While not necessarily a bad thing, opting for a tank that is appropriately sized for your well is often the most efficient choice in terms of cost and space.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system.
