The septic company is almost here, and, like it or not, your septic system is going to have some problems. That’s why it’s so important to be proactive about getting your septic tank pumped before the heavy storms arrive. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and this is especially true for your septic system.

When your septic system is working correctly, partially filtered wastewater and sewage is sent to the drain field where it is absorbed into the ground by soil that filters it through sand and dirt. However, during heavy rains, the drain field can become saturated. The excess sewage then has nowhere to go and it begins to back up into the home, causing toilets to flush slowly or even a backed-up sewage smell.

SURFACE PRESSURE PUMPS

When water pressures of 30 psi to 60 psi are required, a surface pump is the ideal choice. These pumps include built-in pump controllers and small pressure tanks to make them complete rainwater delivery systems. The controller automatically starts and stops the pump whenever a faucet or valve is opened. It also shuts off the pump when the rainwater tank is dry to prevent dry-running, and the pressure tank minimizes pump cycling when water flow rates are low.

In addition to having your septic tank pumped before the rainy season, you can help your system by fixing any leaky faucets and encouraging everyone in the household to take shorter showers during heavy rains. You should also limit laundry and dishwasher use.

A well-insulated attic prevents heat loss and reduces energy costs. It helps keep indoor and outdoor air separated, making it easier for your home to stay comfortable year-round. This upgrade is one of the most affordable and highest-return ENERGY STAR home upgrades.

Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation levels and air leaks cause your heating and cooling system to work harder, wasting energy. They also make your home feel drafty and uncomfortable during winter and summer.

Understanding R-Value: What You Need to Know for Effective Attic Insulation

You can add attic insulation as a DIY project, or hire a professional to do it for you. Before you start, measure the existing insulation with a tape measure to see how much you have. Choose the type of insulation that best fits your needs, budget and climate.

Fiberglass batt and roll insulation is a common choice. It comes in pre-cut, long rolls that are easy to fit between the framing members (like joists and trusses) in your attic. It resists heat flow, and can be blown in using special equipment. It is usually paired with an attic air seal. It has a R-value of 2.9-4.3 per inch.

If you want to add cellulose or mineral wool insulation, make sure it is unfaced (it has no paper layer) and does not overlap with the fiberglass. It is more expensive than fiberglass, but it does not require a vapor barrier and is moisture resistant. Cellulose is also a favorite snack of raccoons, so it is not recommended if you live in an area where raccoons are a problem.
