It had been 9 years since the house was built and I had delayed having the system serviced because there are only 2 people in the household and we travel a lot. I guess correctly that our adding bacteria over the years had kept things working smoothly. Davis service people told me that there were a number of things we could do to help insure continued excellent operation of our system.
WHAT WE WERE DOING WRONG:
Many of the more expensive brands of toilet tissue have cotton in the content. Cotton doesn't breakdown as efficiently as paper materials and the fibers can make its way out to the septic dispersion field and clog things up. If that happens, the field has to be dug up and cost can be very high.
We also were paying far too much for Rid-X when we should be using Baker's yeast and other food based bacteria like you find in yogurt to power our system's bio-culture. Who knew?!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS SERVICE:
Overall, the service took less than 30-minutes. To call it a surgical process would be slight exaggeration, but I'm tempted to go that far because it was a no fuss, no muss task that these men knew how to do very well, and their process was every step of the way intended to serve our best interest. So, it would be fair to say that if I had a surgeon who did the job with as much efficiency and care to attention and detail, I would be proud to recommend them.
I was able to quickly reach the provider and had an appointment within 24 hours. They called before they came and were on time. The workers were friendly and knew what they were doing. They found the tank lid, dug it out, showed me the problem, pumped the tank, showed it to me when it was empty, and then tested it. It took around an hour for the work to be done.
The price was reasonable but I just don't remember the exact amount. The quality of work was good and the owner came to check on the workers and over saw everything to make sure the work is done well.
They came the very next day after we called them. Received a call on that day and within fifteen minutes they arrived. The job was done in a timely manner. We were given advice and a description of what has happened over the years with the septic tank. Professional and courteous. I will certainly use them again. Without reservation I recommend them highly. If the lid is uncovered, then the cost is less; which we had done so that all they had to do was lift the lid to begin pumping.
