Did you know the State of Oklahoma requires anyone installing more than one septic system per year to be certified? Hiring a certified installer means your installer is bonded and has passed DEQ testing and inspections as well as attends annual CEU training.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of uncertified companies out there advertising as installers. Luckily, it’s easy to protect yourself:

✅ Verify they are certified on the DEQ website
https://applications.deq.ok.gov/certinstallers/certinstallers.aspx
✅ Ask to see a copy of the installation permit (even if they are certified!)

You may notice a few faces from last year’s state conference. We don’t just send our certified installers to training, we ensure our entire team receives training to improve their knowledge so we can better serve our customers.

The heat this summer has been tough on aerobic systems so here are a few tips to hopefully help yours survive the next few weeks

1. Clean the grass and leaves from around your air pump. You want as much air flow as possible to keep it cool.

2. Clean or replace the air filter located in the top of the aerator. Keep that air flowing!

3. Clean or replace the diffuser inside your tank. This one is a little more difficult for homeowners but it should be done annually to prevent high back pressure that can damage the pump (if you’re having your aerator go out every summer, this is probably your problem!)

Finally, here’s what to do if you get an alarm:

If your control panel has two lights and the amber (or yellow) light comes on, mute the alarm using the switch on the front. Listen or feel for your air pump. If it’s running, check all the hoses are attached and don’t have any damage. If it’s not running, wait overnight. Some of the air pumps have a high temp shutoff and it may reset when temps drop. An air alarm won’t hurt anything to wait and it may save you an unnecessary service call. If it’s still not working by morning you need to get it serviced.

If your control panel has a single light, listen or feel for your air pump. If it’s running, check all the hoses are attached and don’t have any damage. If no issues are found, it’s probably a high water alarm. If it’s not running, you may want to wait overnight. The only issue is that it could also be a high water alarm and waiting could cause a backup. So, you need to be certain it’s only the air pump by verify the water level is normal. Some of the air pumps have a high temp shutoff and it may reset when temps drop. An air alarm won’t hurt anything to wait and it may save you an unnecessary service call. If it’s still not working by morning you need to get it serviced.

One last thing, Hiblow is now offering high heat rebuild kits. They cost a little more but we are switching to them whenever we can.

Save your pump. Pump your tank.

When you skip pumping, it allows solids to reach your pump tank. Your pump wasn’t designed to handle it and will fail early (not to mention the smell!).

The best thing you can do for your septic? Pumping. The 2nd best thing? Adding risers.

Some companies are okay at doing the same thing every day. Nothing wrong with that. If your project is easy.

We’re good at those easy systems. But we really shine when it comes to solving problems - doing the jobs other companies can’t or won’t do.

In this case, the lot is only .16 ac. The first company they called said it couldn’t be done. We pulled out a tape measure because the wheel isn’t accurate enough and verified it could be.

If your project is exactly the same as every house in the subdivision, we’re your company. If your project is so challenging, three companies have said it was impossible, we’re still your company.

Tried out Guthrie’s Burgers & Beers tonight. Service was good, food was good - definitely give them a shot.

What gas station has the coldest coolers in Guthrie/Edmond?

It’s hot enough outside without the disappointment of buying a barely cold drink.
