5 Ways to Prevent Septic Systems Disaster this Summer

Roto Rooter Septic Tank Treatment

We live in a suburb of the Twin Cities where everyone has well water and a septic system. Even though I literally live 15 minutes from St. Paul I do not have city water and sewer.

And if you do not care for your septic system it can be a costly nightmare. Scheduled Maintenace Here in our city, we are required to get our septic system pumped every 3 ...
