"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

Well water is often assumed to be hard because of its high mineral content. Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes and appliances. You can manage hard water by installing a whole-house filter system. These systems can help extend the life of your water-reliant appliances like your hot water tank and dishwasher. 

There are a few signs that indicate a failing drain field. For instance, if your septic tank starts requiring more pumping than normal, your drain field might be failing. Other signs to watch for include poor drainage after rain, standing water or sewage over the septic system, a strong septic smell outside, new and healthy grass growing over the drain field, and plumbing backups in your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.

Unfortunately, yes. If your well pump continues working when the flow of water is completely blocked, the motor will burn up. The energy has nowhere to go, thanks to the blockage, so it turns inward. The end result? A ruined well pump and a depleted bank account (once you shop for a replacement.) 

While not strictly necessary for your septic system to operate, septic tank risers are a highly beneficial and wise choice for homeowners. They provide easy access to your tank, which makes regular maintenance, inspections, and addressing issues significantly easier and less labor-intensive. By eliminating the need for repeated excavation to locate the tank, risers can save you money, labor, and energy in the long run. This easy access allows you to proactively manage your septic system, addressing potential problems before they become costly and ensuring the system's longevity. Additionally, some local regulations may require risers, and installing them can help you avoid potential fines or penalties.
