"I had All Aspects Waterproofing come out on Aug. 13th to inspect my basement and provide an estimate. To date, 8/31/18, I still have NOT received an estimate. The inspector promised he would give me an estimate by Friday, 8/17/18, which I did not receive. Most inspectors give you an estimate on the spot so I don't understand why he said 8/17/18, but I thought maybe he was just being more thorough. The following week I still didn't have an estimate so I called the office and they said he would call me back shortly. He did and promised to have an estimate to me sometime that weekend. I still received no estimate. So, I called the office again on 8/28 or 8/29 and they told me they would get back with me. I still have heard NOTHING from them. Not that I would every hire them now, but that's ridiculous. I don't see how AAW has such good ratings when they can't even provide a customer with an estimate. That's the easiest part. The sad part is, the inspector is very friendly, but he didn't follow through at all and neither did the company once I complained."

Septic system installations and replacements FAQs

A septic tank typically lasts 15 to 20 years, depending on the materials used, maintenance frequency, and soil conditions. Regular inspections, proper pumping, and careful water usage can extend its lifespan. Professional maintenance ensures your system remains efficient and helps prevent premature failure.

Your septic tank should be pumped every three to five years. In fact, the recommended interval for pumping is every three to five years, as this schedule effectively prevents the buildup of solids and maintains the system's performance. Factors such as household size, water usage, and the capacity of the tank can influence this interval. Adhering to a regular pumping schedule minimizes risks of backups and system overload, ensuring efficient operation and longevity of your septic system.

Your septic system shows signs of failing when you detect noticeable odors and unusual moisture or overly green patches in your yard. In essence, clear indications such as unpleasant smells, gurgling noises from the plumbing, and areas of excessive vegetation or saturation signal that the system may be compromised. Additional symptoms include slow drainage and standing water near the drain field. These warning signs require immediate professional evaluation to prevent severe damage or environmental hazards.
