"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. "
Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.
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.
Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue.
The average cost to pump a septic tank is around $550, though prices can range from $250 to over $1,250. The final cost depends on several factors, including the size of your tank, how full it is, and your geographic location. For example, pumping a small tank might cost between $290 and $530, while a larger 1,750-gallon tank could cost $600 or more. Prices also vary by region; for instance, costs in Minneapolis range from $175 to $275, while in Portland, they can be between $440 and $750. Regular pumping is essential to prevent waste buildup, which can lead to backups and damage to your drain field.
Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.
