What A Differance A Year Makes!

Aahhhh…the intoxicating euphoria of a nice hot shower… the unadulterated bliss of flushing our toilets (more than once daily!)…with the accompanying toilet paper!…the calming contemplation of using our washing machine again…the sweet freedom of once more emptying our kitchen sink drains! These and other privileges are all things most of us take for granted…normal routines occurring in most American households every day. These simple pleasures came to a screeching halt in our household at the beginning of this year.

A year ago, at the end of September, during our scheduled pumping appointment, we were given the dreaded verdict…a failed septic! With the thought of two major holidays on the horizon, the disheartening decree sent us reeling in disbelief and denial. However, as we continued use into January, the reality of the diagnosis was confirmed, and we embarked on a nine month adventure of septic failure survival.

We became totally obsessed and preoccupied with prolonging what little life might be remaining in the system. Our phobia involved checking the septic hole in the backyard before and after flushes, my husband on guard in the bathroom in an attack stance, with plunger poised and ready for battle before each and every flick of the tank’s handle. Behind our closed doors, GI showers and other water conservation measures became ritualistic and compulsive!

Three months ago, June 20th, on a Tuesday evening, we were released from our captivity by Dobrich & Sons Septic Service and Thrifty Rooter, and we threw a long awaited celebration at our house in honor of our new septic system!! Mere words of “thanks” aren’t adequate to express our appreciation for their hard work and perseverance. We wish to commend Dobrich’s work ethic of honesty, reliability, and bid accuracy, as well as their courtesy and attentive respect for our questions, concerns, landscape and property throughout each phase of their work. This included staying late on the hottest and most challenging days to complete their job and clean up, leaving our grassless yard fastidiously raked, and our driveway meticulously swept and hosed Down.

Thank you Dobrich & Sons! You did a terrific job, and it is our pleasure to spread the good word and enthusiastically recommend you to anyone needing assistance in your area of expertise! You are number one in our book! Awesome!! When the going got tough, you kept going and finished the job against all odds, of which there were many. We don/t know whether we should be proud or humbled by the fact that our job gained the notoriety of placing in the top ten hardest jobs you’ve ever had!! We’re sure as you folded the “Cat’s” arms for the last time that day, you had an immense feeling of accomplishment. We did in your behalf! Thank you for a job filled with caring, concern for us, and a task well done.
