"I would like to first start off that Darian from the beginning is a very nice & professional man, I told him about our pond being so green & overgrown with plants & was smelly for a very long time he came over & gave us an estimate it was very fair price the workers who also were very nice & knowledgeable, they pulled out lilies from the pond that were so tall & cleaned the pond several times washed the gigantic rocks in the pond went up to the waterfall & cleaned that also, pulling out debris & when cleaning the pond they put our 300 gold fish in a holding tank aerated & nice for them came back & put in a new aeration & large filter system & a uv light that will give us crystal clear water in no time, it is so nice to see all the rocks & the fish are so happy they have more pep! they also put river rocks which I love around the front of the pond & we have a bench that we sit on to see the beautiful pond.

"We were not in a rush and they accommodated our schedule quite nicely. We had bids from 4 other providers and choose them not because they were the cheapest (they were the third least expensive) but because they were certified by the James Hardie Company and there is a pretty good warranty that applies if we use a certified installer. They showed up early every day and worked til dusk and the crews are not day laborers but are on salary with the company. Installing fiber cement products is fairly tricky and the crews were all experienced and that showed from day one. The pre-installation consults and detail explanation of the work were terrific. The crews paid attention to all the details too and cleaned up each day to a spotless condition.They cam back several times after completion to ask if we had any problems or needed something redone. Our punch list was amazingly small and overall they rated and A+ , to us they were the best. The owner of the company made many visits to our site as did the salesman and of course the crew chief. The skill and deft workmanship of the crews was worth the little extra cost and added to our sense of security along with the Hardie warranty. "
To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.
It is not normal to smell your septic outside and indicates a problem such as an unsealed manhole or access lid, a clogged septic line, a faulty vent stack, or the need for a septic tank pumping. If sewage is leaking from your septic system, it can be hazardous to you, your family, pets, and the surrounding environment. You can troubleshoot the issue yourself, or contact a septic tank pro who can resolve the issue quickly.
Baking soda can help neutralize septic tank odors. If the pH balance in your tank is off, it may emit a sulfurous, rotten-egg-like smell. Flushing about one cup of baking soda down the toilet once a week can help neutralize the odor. To increase the beneficial bacteria in your tank, you can add three rotten tomatoes through your garbage disposal every three months.
To prevent odors in the first place, only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid pouring coffee grounds, fats, oils, or grease down your drains, as this can lead to clogs. While these methods can help, the most effective long-term solution is to have your septic tank pumped regularly, typically every three to five years. Because sewage gas can be toxic, it is recommended to hire a professional to identify the source of the smell rather than only trying to neutralize it.
Most septic tanks need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years, but it’s a good idea to monitor the fill levels of your septic tank all the time. You can do this by installing a pressure level sensor to detect the internal tank pressure, or by having a septic tank company perform an annual inspection to let you know when you’ll need to pump the tank.
A two-way cleanout can help if there’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.
