https://www.baldeagle.biz As the President of Bald Eagle Inspection Services, I have nearly two decades of practical experience in both residential and commercial construction industries. Much of my professional career has been spent as an Estimator and Project Manager for a large general contractor in New York State. I have a vast knowledge and experience background working with commercial and residential systems, components and proper building practices, including the successful completion of several multi-million dollar large scale building projects in the area, ranging from schools to medical facilities, MRI’s, laboratory and research, chemical manufacturing, warehouse, office building, and of course, residential properties. I also maintain a huge database of construction data, a large network of subcontractors, suppliers, companies and organizations and am well respected throughout the industry. I noticed a need for quality, knowledgeable home inspectors through my own experiences. Motivated by my drive to grow and excel in my career, I created Bald Eagle Inspection Services, LLC.

"Being a first time home buyer and looking at a 120 year old house, I was concerned with getting in over my head with possible repairs. The report Jason provided exceeded expectations and reviewed items I wouldn't have though of. Now, 6 months after moving in, I am using his report as a guide to take preventative measures to avoid costly fixes in the future."

3 years in business all employees have 10 years plus experience right now we have 5-7 employees we will and can offer sub- contracting as far as billing we accept all major credit cards, checks,etc

"He is the worst and most dishonest contractor you could ever hire. When he came in to quote us the job he sounded very confident and sound he knew what he was doing. So we finally agreed on a price and a 2 weeks timeline for the job. He showed up only on the first few days, my husband and I gave him portion of the money with expectations of the job being done soon. days went by and he didn't showed up. We were calling and texting him everyday and no responses, once he would respond, was always a different excuses. On top of him not showing up anymore, we bought 27 boxes of tile for my laundry, when my husband and I weren't home, he showed up, took 5 boxes and went to the store and returned to get cash back to himself, which technically he was stealing from us. he was always calling back when he wanted money but no job done. I know my husband and I were stupid to give him the money without the job being even half way done.We hired him in the first week of January, with intentions to be done in 2 weeks. Today is March 29TH 2018 and this deadbeat contractor hasn't show up in 2 months... ignoring phone calls, text and any sort of communication that we tried to established with him. On top of stealing my materials for his own gain, everything that he has done is falling apart, tile floor is popping up for being laid down improperly with wrong material, the cabinets are all "crooked" for not being leveled right, he painted the walls the wrong color, all with promises of fixing it afterwards. I had plans to put my house in the market end of march, but as right now, my house is in pieces and this dead beat dishonest contractor hasn't showed up, so now its not only the house problem, he is affecting my ability to sell my house. PLEASE, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER EVER HIRE THIS GUY, His name is Jeffrey Owens Sr."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.
