"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. If anyone wants a beautiful pond Aquarium Design Network New York is the way to go. Kevin & Nancy Smithtown"
"We had a very bad leak in our 4,000g pond. Losing almost 2â a day. Jules came out. Emptied our pond and fixed a few large holes and hundreds of tiny holes. Well, the next morning our pond was CRYSTAL CLEAR & hadnâ t lost ANY WATER! The fish are the healthiest weâ ve seen them in years and love the big cave Jules made for them. I canâ t express what a pleasure he is to work with. Professional, accurate, explained every thing he had to do and DID IT with precision & confidence! Finally, after 20yrs of trying to have ANY COMPANY help us, we found Jules! Would recommend All Island Pond to everyone! Great team Great experience Great outcome. We plan to use him again next spring to redo our large waterfall. Please, if youâ re just starting out or have an existing pond⠦⠦.call JULES! Youâ ll love working with him"

"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. "
Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.
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.
Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.
The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.
Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.
While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.
Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.
