Q: What are common types of drain issues?

• <div><p>Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly. </p></div>

Q: Can you shower while your septic tank is being pumped?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, no, you cannot shower while your septic tank is being pumped. The water needs to be shut off while your septic tank is serviced, which includes showers, toilets, sinks, and dishwashers. Take a shower well before pumping is scheduled to begin. Once the pumping is complete, you can resume regular water use.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent clogs in my main sewer line?

• <div><p>A two-way cleanout can help if there&rsquo;s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains. </p></div>

Q: Is it hard to pass a perc test?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s hard to pass a perc test depends a lot on the composition of your soil. When a perc test is conducted where there&rsquo;s a high concentration of sand in the soil, perc tests almost always pass. However, if your ground is dense clay or rock, it may prove difficult to pass a perc test. A low water table also helps you pass the test, as a high table means your yard isn&rsquo;t draining water as efficiently.</p></div>

Did the job in a very timely manner, professional, attentive to detail on the project. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for his service. Always did what he said he would do and the project turned out wonderful. I do not think you can get any better than them.
