Is there a better waste method than cesspools?

• <div><p>Yes—septic tank systems are superior to cesspools in every conceivable way. If you’re not able to connect your home to a greater sewage network, a septic tank system and a drain field are great for responsibly disposing of waste. It’s also cheaper to pump a septic tank, easier to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/septic-tank-repair/">find a local septic tank professional</a> than those who work with cesspools, and better for the environment.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional material removal?

• <div><p>Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: Should I just throw away moldy things?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-clean-or-pitch-belongings-after-mold-removal.htm">throw away moldy things</a> if desired, but you can also clean the mold from certain items. Saving wood furniture by cleaning the mold is possible. You also can clean mold from plastic, metal, and glass materials. It&rsquo;s far more difficult to clean mold from paper, carpet, cardboard, and mattresses.</p></div>

Q: How do I dispose of asphalt shingles?

• <div><p>Many recycling facilities accept asphalt shingles and then process and reuse them in various applications such as road construction and pavement. Before recycling, remove any nails or other metal components from the shingles to avoid contamination. If recycling facilities are unavailable, you can dispose of asphalt shingles at a dumping site, but homeowners should check local regulations and guidelines for proper disposal procedures. Hiring a professional roofing contractor experienced in eco-friendly disposal methods can ensure that your asphalt shingles don&rsquo;t just end up in a landfill.</p></div>

Q: Can I throw away old paint?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t. Don't make your old paint someone else's problem by dumping it in a public dumpster or garbage bin. You may be able to throw away water- or latex-based paint after you dry it out, but be sure to check your local regulations and follow the steps above. If you have a lot of paint cans to get rid of, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-dumpster-rental.htm">cost of renting a dumpster</a> may be worth it. </p></div>

The roof was put on quickly, but old roof was supposed to be removed first, which it was not. There is water damage on the ceiling in 3 rooms that he said he would fix. I have called him 6 times and emailed without a response. This is now December and I have not heard back from him.
