What Is The Right Water Heater For My Home?

Why Do I Need A Riser On My Septic Tank?

Answer

The reason why is to maintain your septic tank. It never fails, especially when your are planning a family event, this is the time when your septic system backs up. If there is not a riser, most people don't know where their septic tanks are buried. Instead of doing a simple pumping of the septic tank, now you have to pay to have your septic tank located, dug up and then pumped. Not only does this make make for a stressful situation, but it affects your pocket book as well.

It is important for your riser to be a minimum of eight inches, but twelve to twenty-four inches is recommended depending on the size of your tank. This allows for the technician to be able to move the hose to all sides of the tank to properly clean it.

Why Does My Toilet Keep Running Or Refilling?

Answer

There are a number of possible causes for this problem. It could be that the flapper isn't seating properly. The flapper can accumulate a thin layer of scale or a slippery film over time which can cause the water seal to fall. Cleaning or replacing the flapper will correct this problem. Another cause can be a kinked or tangles lift chain which is easily fixed as well. If neither of these is the problem it could be a worn out flush valve.
