"We couldn't be happier with the work they did for us! He completed our septic system, leach field, and slab preparation, but went above and beyond what we expected. Our property was very rough, full of rocks, stumps, brush, and bushes. He took the time to remove stumps and rocks, used the excavator (very skilled) to smooth out the entire property, built a beautiful rock wall using rocks dug from the property, and seeded and hayed the area. The transformation is incredible! Everything looks so nice, and we couldn't be more pleased with how our property turned out. It's not often you find someone who takes so much pride in their work and goes the extra mile to make sure everything looks great. We highly recommend him and would absolutely hire him again."

"great, Derick was very communicative, kept me informed all through the project and gave me cost estimates as the project grew in scope. I needed semi-emergency work on my septic system and responded right away and fixed the problem."

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

"The gas company came in to replace a meter.  They found that the vinyl siding company we used in the past had cut and covered the safety valve.  The one night that it's super cold out, the gas company had to shut off our gas (heat)!! I called Richard at 9:00pm.  He got back to me first thing in the morning and had his crew take care of it by 7:30am.  They are really THE BEST!!  The gas company is here now and hopefully we'll have heat soon."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

With proper maintenance, most types of septic systems—including mound, evapotranspiration, and constructed wetland systems—can last up to 40 years. To keep your system running as long as possible, follow basic septic tank upkeep guidelines, like pumping your septic tank every three to five years and only flushing human waste and toilet paper.

Yes! Toilet paper can be flushed if you use a septic tank. While unique toilet papers designed to be used with septic tanks are available, many people have no problem flushing regular toilet paper with a septic tank, so long as you don’t flush too much toilet paper all at once. Do not flush any type of baby wipes or bathroom wipes, even if they say “flushable.”

Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There’s some flexibility with this if you’d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your well tank’s general pressure setting.

The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings—going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.

DIY is not recommended due to safety and technical requirements. Hire professionals for accurate diagnosis and repair.

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.
