"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."

"My existing hot water heater (12 years old) would not relight and had exhibited signs of tank failure (some discolored water and slight leak). I contacted a few vendors and NE Renovations met my budget and schedule constraints. I made the initial call the evening of December 28 and received a quick response from Richard Froais. The site survey and quote were received on December 29 with the installation taking place December 30 morning.

The installation crew, Jim and Randy, were punctual, courteous and thorough, and cleaned up the site well. It was a pleasure to work with them and NE Renovations.

Of particular note, my previous installation had some errors in the piping which were not apparent until a few years later. I related these symptoms to Richard and Jim who figured out the situation and agreed that it could be fixed as the new tank was installed. This I expect will create better operating conditions and longer life."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

Septic systems typically require servicing every 3-5 years, but frequency varies according to household size and tank capacity.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.

Many variables, such as home size, type of engineered system, the material used, soil conditions, and water usage, dictate how long your system will last. On average, most homeowners find that their system lasts 15 to 20 years, though it’s not unheard of for them to last up to 40 years with annual and preventative septic maintenance.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.
