"My sink had clogged again, 2nd time in two weeks. 1st plumber said my piping was at the wrong angle and would need to be fixed. So this time when it clogged again, I had this company come. Very nice plumber checked pipes, gave me a price quote, and then said if it were him, he would have the pipes cleaned by Jetstream. He didn't charge me a thing! I had to call around, but finally found someone to Jetstream it which worked great!"

"**To everyone** This is the plumber you want to call !!! Typical FANTASTIC service call from "Knock You Plumb Out Plumbing". Our family was dead in the water, plumbing wise. We could not flush a toilet. Water was rising everywhere and all drains were gurgling. John Harris (owner), and a 2-man crew arrived 30 minutes after I sent a "Help!" E-mail to him. I could not believe he got to my home so quickly. John and his crew went to work diagnosing the problem. John started removing the plug on one end of my sewer system and found that my entire sewer system was under tremendous pressure due to all of the plunging I was doing. Before he started taking any more pipes apart in the basement, he asked if I had a septic system. I told him that I did and he said that my septic tank was probably full. John went out back, took the lid off of my septic system and found that the tank was almost completely full! Thanks to John, I then knew what the problem was and it was an easy fix. I had a septic cleaning company come out within a couple hours, and my house was back to normal. Thanks again John. This was the second time in 3 months he helped me out and I could not be happier. This guy is my only plumber?forever!

"Mr Washington personally examined my old concrete driveway, measured its size, calculated the price estimate based on the square foot area of the project, and provided a senior discount. He described the work in detail. He answered questions by email. He came with two workers on schedule to break up the old concrete driveway and haul away the pieces. The next day the same group graded the base of the driveway, placed a wood frame around the edge of the driveway, and directed the concrete pour from a sub-contractor's cement mixer truck, The first three workers spread the concrete while a fourth worker flattened the concrete to the top of the frame. The surface of the concrete became level near the garage and had a gentle slope to the bottom of the driveway. The next day, Washington Boyz cleaned up to lawn, removed the wood frame, and put down some topsoil and grass seeds next to the new concrete. Since the sub-contractor cement mixer operator dumped some excess cargo on the lawn after the cement was poured for the driveway, Washington Boyz had to break up the dried concrete from the lawn and clean up the pieces. Before they left, I was told not to use the new driveway for at least one more day to let the concrete cure and they put yellow tape over the bottom of the driveway to keep the driveway from being used. The final price was the same as the estimate and I was very pleased with the work that was done."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.

The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to well water versus city water, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.

Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it’s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home.
