A funny little septic story…
As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got […]
Rain, Rain, Go Away…Come again some….wait, no…
Last week I posted about the rain and this week I’m going to talk a little more about it. I know I may seem like a broken record, but this last year I have spent a LOT OF TIME talking to customers about their systems and the effects of Mother Nature in their functionality. The memes […]
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU RAIN — PLANT RICE!
I have decided to start growing rice. We have so many places in our yard that can’t see to dry up, I figured why not profit from it both in my kitchen and maybe in my wallet! As I have written so many times this year, the weather has given many people problems due […]
TOILET PAPER – Friend or Foe?
This week we will talk about TOILET PAPER!! Yay! What fun?! What fun?! Who doesn’t LOVE talking about the substance we use to wipe the most disgusting items from our body?! Hip hip hooray!! I know I have you going on a toilet-paper-celebrating-frenzy, but to be honest, toilet paper is no laughing matter when […]
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER USAGE
So, if you read my previous ever-so-eloquently-written-wastewater-post from last week…You’ll notice the first thing I mentioned when avoiding septic system “messes” was WATER USAGE. Today, I’m going to elaborate on that. **In light of the crazy weather we have received since October of 2018(i.e. fall rains, crazy snow, and spring rains), back ups have […]
OVERVIEW OF A SEPTIC SYSTEM
This past week, I have spent a lot of time on the phone describing the components of a septic system to customers. I am always happy to visit with people when they want to learn about their system and how it works. I mean, doesn’t EVERYONE want to learn about wastewater, poop and toilet paper? […]
ALTERNATIVE WASTE WATER SYSTEMS
So, I have written quite a bit in regards to traditional septic items – how about something septic related but on the side of “new” or “advanced”? (Technically it’s not really new…but it is new to Nebraska!) Did you know technology exists to clean up your wastewater better than ever? For years, the main treatment […]
The EXCITING world of PERC TESTS!
If you’re building in the country, something you might not know is you have install your own wastewater system – or a place for all your wastewater to go — for your home. In town, there is plumbing and city sewers to take care of all that, but if you build in the country […]
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
I was reading an article (non-septic related – shocker, I know…) about memory loss the other day. There is a recent study that found the average adult forgets three things a day. Three things a day!! Isn’t that crazy? On the list of things “most forgotten” the top 5 were: Letting a cup a […]
YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM AND MOTHER NATURE
Nebraska is one of those fortunate states that gets to experience all four seasons every year. Our springs are typically cool and wet, summers hot and dry, crisp falls, and cold, snowy winters. During any one of these seasons, we can experience extreme weather. For instance, the fall of 2018 was extremely rainy […]
