Using Additives To Maintain Septic Performance
Many septic tank additives claim to reduce the time and money required for maintenance. But with a lack of regulation or standardized testing and an abundance of misinformation, it is easy to walk away with more questions than answers.
Septic tank additives claim to provide a variety of benefits. Some additives claim to clean pipes while others break down fats, oils, and greases.

Springtime Septic Maintenance Tips
Minnesota is notorious for long winters, but it’s important to prepare your septic system for spring starting in late March-early April.

We use the plumbing system in our homes multiple times a day, especially in our kitchen and bathrooms. Every time we wash our hands, flush a toilet, cook and clean we use water. This water must travel through the pipes in our home. When our plumbing system is working well, we do not need to give it much thought, but when there is a problem, that is another story.

Laundry Tub And Utility Sink Installation
Having access to a sink when you need one is a great convenience. Most people are used to having sinks in their kitchen and bathrooms, but there are other locations where a sink can come in handy as well. Installing a utility sink in these areas can make tasks such as laundry, bathing your dog and cleaning easier, while also keeping you from having to dump things like cleaning wastewater into your kitchen or bathroom sink.
