What did Santa really mean when he says HO HO HO ?

     Every year at Christmas we all hear Santa screaming out his famous Ho Ho Ho  all over the world. Nobody ever  looked into just why Santa is belting out his famous greeting.

     We decided to look into it  and dig very deep into how this came about.  When we did our investigations, Interviews and left no stone unturned.


     We warn you, What we discovered will shock you. If you have any small children please do not let them read this.

          Santa for many many many years flew all over the world and have had a Birdseye  view of the Earth.

     What he has seen way too many times was when he landed his sleigh he see a BackHoe on the property ruining a beautiful landscape yard because the homeowners did not want to have their Septic Tank or Cesspools located way before a Septic or Cesspool emergency in Suffolk County Long Island NY, So his famous saying of Ho Ho Ho is really Backhoe Backhoe, Backhoe as he points to them !


     We do agree with Santa, If you do not know where your Septic Tank or Cesspools are before a emergency and not just a general area but a exact spot where each Septic Tank Or Cesspool is,  You have a major repair bill and a major landscape bill and  your neighbors laughing.



     Please call us before a Septic Tank or Cesspool emergency to have us locate your Septic Tank or Cesspools in Suffolk County Long Island NY area.

In Suffolk County NY,Not knowing exactly where your Septic or Cesspool system can get somebody killed!

     Turning a blind eye to where exactly your cesspools or septic tank is may  get somebody killed on your property.

     In older homes, Before 1980, Homemade block cesspools and septic tanks where installed and buried. Over the years the cement rots and the whole system gets weaker. This "Eating" of the cement does not stop at the cement blocks. The cement blocks or cesspool blocks rot and get weaker and weaker to where they just crumble with no signs from above ground until somebody or some animal walks across it and what is left of the septic tank or cesspools cave in taking you with it.  For the record, Very few people survive a cesspool or septic tank cave in. They will get buried alive and below the water level and die a horrible very preventable death. Drowning in a cesspool or a septic tank is no joke and the homeowner will be responsible and their homeowners insurance will not protect them. You will lose everything you own after the lawyers are done.

     Suffolk County NY has some old homes with block cesspools, homemade cesspools and homemade septic tanks, Turning a blind eye to them and where they are will not hold up in Court.


     Make a appointment to get your septic tank, cesspools or any type of onsite or larger sanitary system located BEFORE a accident happens.

Drain Line locating Suffolk County Long Island NY

Drain line locating in Suffolk County Long Island can be very hard to do unless you have decades of experience  using a system you developed. It takes many many many years of locating drain lines to develop a system to be dead on every time and not "Hit and Miss" like other companies and that is why other companies in Suffolk County call us to locate their septic, cesspools and drain lines.

     Drain lines disappear when soil or concrete is put on top of them and memories and almost never close as time seems to move all things buried ! Unless there is above marker of some sort, all bets are off and where you think the pipe was equals more money out of your pocket in one way or another.

     We had many people call us when their contractor spent days with a jackhammer breaking up their basement to find a line to find out the line goes somewhere else ! Still the property owner got the bill for 2 days of jackhammering the floor!

     How do you save money? By calling us first !

Septic Cesspool locating: Nobody can find it without a backhoe.

 Septic and Cesspools can be anywhere in any property and can even be in your next door neighbor's yard and they do not even know it !
     Most times people call a septic pumping company after a system backs up and has somebody come out and bang a bar into the ground all over for hours on end to hopefully hit your septic tank or cesspool and that costs alot of money and destroys your property besides the very high risk of hitting a gas, water or electric or anything that is in the ground and very expensive to fix.

     We call that guessing.

We don't guess where your septic tank or cesspool is, We find it using a system  we developed over the years to locate your septic tank or cesspools without any damage to your landscape !

Just how do we do it?   We won't tell BUT you can enjoy our services and our work.

Give us a call before your septic tank or cesspool backs up and let us locate the system so you can save money and dig up the covers by hand or have someone else do it for you.  Either way, You save your landscape when you call Ranger Sewer to locate your septic tank or cesspool.

Septic Tank Cesspool locating before the winter snow is a must !

     Locating your septic tank and cesspools before the winter snow is a must for  many reasons. One of them is that when it does snow and you have a old system (25 plus years or older) The added weight may cave in your septic tank or cesspool ! A covered up septic tank or cesspool will rot from the inside out and this rot will break down the material the septic tank or cesspool was made from. Snow has weight to it and it does weight even more when it melts or when a wet snow falls. The slush to a septic tank or cesspools is a nightmare weight wise. Ever have a snowball fight with slush and notice how heavy it is? How about shoveling the slush off your driveway? Slush is heavy and the weight is enough to cave in your septic tank and cesspools, So why is important to know where your septic tank and cesspools are before the winter?

     If you know where your septic tank and cesspools are before the winter snow, You can stay away from the area, Not pile snow nearby and make sure your Letter carrier, USPS, Fed X or anybody to keep a distance from your septic tank or cesspools. A cave in septic tank or cesspool cave in will kill and have killed in the past. Do you want that on your property? Do you want your family to remember that when they think of your home?

     Give us a call and let us locate ALL septic tanks and cesspools on your property before the winter.

     When the location of a septic tank, cesspool or septic tank and leachfield  is not known and a emergency happens, A landscape ruining backhoe must be used or internal damage to the property will occur.

     Most septic , septic tank and cesspool companies use a very outdated locating system using a metal bar and pounding it into the ground to locate your septic, septic tank , septic tank and leachfield or cesspools. This very old outdated system puts your gas service, water service, electric service to your buried oil tanks and sprinkler system in jeopardy of massive expensive damage that you the homeowner will be paying to repair. Damage will occur using this old outdated system !

     There are systems we developed over our 30 plus years of locating septic tanks, cesspools and septic tanks and cesspools that do not damage your property at all !

Why should a Homeowner care where their buried gas, water or electric are?

     Short answer: Because your family will miss you if you don't miss that gas, water or electric line!


Now for the long answer:

     Our land has become very busy with utilities  being installed under our feet and with the many new no dig ways to install utilities  you may never know they where ever there! You go to work and so do utility companies installing gas, water, electric lines without even stepping onto your property or even digging on your property, and when done, Clean up and leave before you come home. This happens a thousand times a day !

     Many codes state a minimum of 3 feet deep should be all utilities, BUT things happen and utility lines can drift up closer to the surface, and if you go and start that minor to a major project without calling for a utility mark out, YOU can get very hurt to even losing your life!  Do you want to do that to your family?

Always call for a mark out and it it is past your meter, call us to locate your utility lines before you dig and always dig safe !

Rain and why you must know the location of your drywells

     Rain, We have no control of it and it comes and goes when it pleases and can cause major damage to your home and property. We can not control Mother Nature but we can help her do what she wants to do. We can beg all we want but Mother Nature plays by her rules.

     How can we make her happy and not control her but offer her "Advice"  to direct her unlimited power away from our homes?

     Here is the answer: We can't !
     
There are things we can do to move water away from our homes and keep her happy at the same time. One of the best piece of advice is to know where your gutters, drain lines and drywells are and where they go, and have them easy to get to at all times for emergency repairs. Drywells can hold alot of rainwater BUT Mother Nature calls ths shots and can fill them up fast at will. Having a secondary outlet that comes out of the last drywell from the Inspection Port that runs away and down hill and above the ground will keep water moving away from your home. This will water from backing up by your home if properly installed and give a unlimited amount of rainwater a place to go when your drywells are full. There are even fittings that will automatically open and close when your drywells are full to release rainwater away from your home that work well and blend in with any landscape !

     Knowing where all your drywells are located and drainlines will help keep your home rain free and water tight!

     " I lost my Mother In Laws necklace in the back yard while hiding Easter Eggs for the children. I need to find the necklace way before my Mother in Law shows up for Easter, How fast can you get here?"

     I got the address and broke speed limits to get way out east as fast as I could. Upon arrival I had a very short conversation  with the woman who called. She looked very worried and pale with fear of not finding it in time or not at all. She had no idea where she lost it. My heart sunk but I know i had to try every tick in our book to find this necklace.

     I broke out some equipment and started to locate.  First hour, Nothing. Second Hour nothing. I even got worried.  At the beginning of the third hour, BINGO! I marked the area and got her over there to pick it out of the overgrown backyard, Way in the back. She even forgot she went back there and we even went to their security cameras to find out when she walked back there. 2 days before was the last time she walked back there!

     This is a very special necklace and not because it came from her Mother In Law, But it's history behind it and how it was handed down over the years to a family member. I even got to see pictures of other family members with it on. This was part of their family history.

     If you lose something andneed to find it, Give us a call to help!

Who is the owner of this pipe?

     Got a unusual call today from two neighbors who have a pipe making a loop out of the ground then going back into the ground, Right on the property line. The neighbors where not fighting and a matter of fact, real good friends and very  very funny. The real question was , where does this strange pipe go since one end went towards one house and the other end went to the other house.

     I located the pipe underground and marked out the area of other stuff in the ground. This pipe was not hooked to anything and a "dead" pipe.I knew there must be a story until a very old neighbor came over and told us it. The two homes where owned by one family who farmed and had a giant Greenhouse and this pipe fed water to the Green House. Why was there a loop in the pipe?  for the heck of it!

     Mystery solved !

If you got a mystery pipe, Give us a call to help you solve it !

"Nobody can find our Septic and Cesspool and we are backing up"

       "Nobody can find out Septic and Cesspool and we are backing up." That is how the call started. "We tried and paid thousands to find our Septic and Cesspool and nobody can find it, We have been living with using as little water as possible for too long, Can you come out and TRY to find it?"

     We drove out to the east end of long island to the home. Avery private home with it's own gate,Long driveway upto a home out of a magazine designed by a well known Architect. Beautiful home is a gross understatement.

     After a short conversation I went into the basement to locate the house trap to discover that is was a finished basement. I got behind the walls and found the housetrap buried in a tight area. When I told the homeowners what and where I found they looked puzzled and said that nobody looked back there and even in that area of the home.

     I went outside to find no fresh air vent cover and a paved driveway. I pulled out a few pieces of equipmewnt and located the system using a system we developed and marked out the area. The homeowners went and got shovels and removed the bricks  and dug down 2 feet to hit the septic tank then did the same for the cesspools. System beyond full. Very happy people.

     We did not charge thousands to find their Septic and Cesspools but we found it!

Can you find our ring?

The phone call started like this:

     "Do you locate things? Yes we do, Thinking this was some sort of emergency call , and that somebody could not find a shut off after a pipe was hit and maybe the water could not be turned off and damages where adding up so they decided to call.

     " I lost a ring when walking outside in my back yard and we can't find it, I do not know where I lost it as it slipped off my finger and I noticed it gone when I went into my home to wash my hands, How fast can you get here as my Lawyer and the Insurance Company are on their way here. I need you here now to find this, I NEED YOU HERE NOW, I can't lose this ring!"

     I loaded up and headed towards the east end town on Long Island as fast as I could and when I got there and walked up the driveway I was mobbed by many people from the Insurance Company and her personal Lawyer. Both talking legal stuff to me and one over the other until I said I need to see the person who called who lost the ring and let me talk with her for a few and get some important details.

     They followed me into the home as I tried to talk to the Woman who called me. The Lawyers both kept on interrupting her until I had to tell them to just stop and get out of the home so I can listen to her and get some details. Her personal 24 hour security made them leave.  Thank God for security.

     After getting some information I understood why all the lawyers and how important this ring is to all involved. I told her to tell the lawyers to keep off the grass in the area where it maybe and to keep back 500 feet away from me at all times until I tell them to come to me.After doing a grid search for the item, I get a hit and I shine my flashlight into the grass and there it was. Now I know why.  I placed a marker next to the object and went and got the Owner of the ring and took her to the ring and let her pick it up. She put it back on her finger and cried. Now it all made sense. This is a very important ring.
   
     We walked back into the home and sat in the kitchen, Had a cup of coffee and heard the history of this ring. This ring had to be found. This was not just another job, This was a honor.

We have a giant hole under our driveway

 "We have a giant hole under our driveway".

     This is how the call started and they asked us to come out and locate where everything is on property because they have a giant hole under their less then a year old blacktop driveway.When I got to the property I remembered being here last year when they called me then when I got there they told me their contractor said they did not have to waste their money on my service. I remembered it well. This bad advice came back to bite them big time. I walked behind their nice home to see part of their brand new SUV sticking up in the air hood first. They said the dealer was sending a flatbed to pull it gently out of the hole. For the flatbed to do this, he will have to rip up their new landscape work that was not cheap. I looked into the hole to see it was a block cesspool that caved in and it was still active. I traced the whole system out then used our ground scan and found the system. This block cesspool was part of it.

     I asked if they called their contractor who told them not to waste their time with me and they said his phone number is turned off and can't find him anywhere.

     This bad advice from their contractor who they can't find  will cost them about 30 g's to solve.From fixing that brand new sport SUV, a new septic system and repairs to their driveway and i am sure it will have to be pulled up and redone to their landscape.

     If you do not know where your gas, water, electric to your septic, cesspool or sewer is , You better be calling us first to put this picture all together.

Can you find our Septic Tank?

     We got a call from our new client about locating their Septic Tank. Nobody could find their Septic Tank even after spending thousands to find it,Nobody could find it.They had their yard dug up many times by others, but nobody could find their septic tank or even there complete septic system.

     After we got there and got the "Lay of the land" and walked around a bit with the clients, I figured out a few things. The house has been built onto many times and the first house was a summer cottage. They even got the pictures of the first house that was built on the land. Black and White photo.
     Just looking at the photo I knew I had bad news for them and that their house is built ontop of their sanitary system. Nobody even said anything like to them. They both got big smiles on their faces and they got me down into their basement and saw a mess that they had help clean up after each back up.  After a quick walk thru the basement I came up with a game plan to find this lost sanitary system. They just said do whatever you need to do to find it.  I located the upstairs toilet line and found a pvc clean out to open. I ran my cable down the drain and came to a stop. I located where exactly where the cable was and where it stopped and told the homeowner to break open the floor here and like people on a mission they did and removed the soil under it and found a cesspool cover and opened it up and it was overflowing.Their home was built over their sanitary system. They called a cesspool pumping company and they had it pumped  and we looked into it and found a line leaving the cesspool. I traced the line out to another cesspool and they broke up the floor and dug it up and got it pumped and we found another line and found a third cesspool that they had pumped.  This system has not been serviced in years and it has to be filled in and a new septic tank and cesspools must be installed outside next to their driveway for easy servicing.

     Locating septic tanks,Locating cesspools or sewer or drain lines is what we do and if you can't find it, Let us find it.

"Can you help us?"

     Our phones rings and I get a call from a frantic homeowner who said they have alot of water coming from somewhere but flooding their crawlspace, their basement and making a small pond in their back yard that birds are taking a bath in and Geese are sitting in!

     When I got there I had to see the Geese in the water and they where there and taking a nap in the middle of it! This uncontrolled water was making a pond in their backyard so I know I had to get to work and find this pipe fast.
     I wear waterproof boots for jobs like this and sure enough glad I had them on. 4 inches of water in the basement I made my wat to where the water was coming in. Clearly a major break but where was it ?

     After a little what I call "Magic", I was able to find the broken pipe buried in concrete, It was the waterline that feeds the whole house and the main had to be shut off and I did. The water stopped then. The other problem is now they do not have water for the whole house. The homeowner called a few friends who came over to work and break up the floor in the area where I marked out as another one when and got pipe and parts to make a repair in a pipe they did not see yet. It's Sunday and stores will close.  These guys went to work and work they did. There was nothing stopping them even when the pizza and more food that they could eat came.  A few of the neighbors cooked food and got it to them and even said their kids can sleep over ect.  Hell I wanted to buy a house on this block!

    About a hour later and a cold house except for their fireplace, They got to the broken pipe and they made the repair then turned on the water main and no more leaks. This line will have to be replaced soon and this will be done on the weekend.

    The pool pumps they have they used to pump out the water in the basement.

You never know when a emergency will happen and who your friends and family are when you need them.

     Let us help you in a emergenct to help locate broken pipes, Electric, Water electric lines to cesspool, sewer and drywell lines.

A Plumbers best friend.

     We got a call this morning from a Plumber who calls us when he has a important job. He got a call from his client about a broken pipe that was behind expensive imported tile and mirrors, In a very large bathroom. The water was turned off when I got there and I got the tour of what was under the bathroom and it was a finished basement, The tile cutter showed up. He flew in from California with his tools. The Tile had to be saved at all cost .  I pulled out behind the wall camera and used it to isolate the broken pipe and keep the tile being surgically cut out by a very experienced tile cutter to as little as possible. With a couple of tiles gently removed, I was able to find a few pinhole leaks in a pipe. A hole was drilled in the beams on both sides of the area where the leaking pipe was found and another leak was found. At this point, The Plumber went downstairs and fished up Pex pipe and grabbed it from a hole somehow and made the repair.

     Our behind the wall camera was able to find all the leaks and keep the demolition down to a as little as possible,Saving the client alot of money.

Where is our Septic System?

     Where is our Septic System? That was the question our clients asked us when we arrived at the cluster of homes the management company operates. Crazy question to ask but let me fill you in a bit.  Major landscaping was done to the area where the Cluster Septic System is located, and if you saw the pictures of the way it did look to what it looks like now after major work was done, you would not recognize it except for the homes.

     Where is this system was the question so we got to work. The Septic System was backing up and that was the reason why they had to find it today.  I went to work and started to locate pieces of the system and with my 30 plus years of experience in the septic and drain cleaning industry I started to find one manhole after another of what is known as a Cluster System. Attached to the Cluster System was a Aeration Treatment Unit, so there some extra manholes to locate. It did not take too long and the trip to the jobsite was longer then the job itself. Turns out I located other Manholes they did not know they had there and they where another cesspool and clean outs in the lines. The management company had their employees dig up by hand all the manholes and got it ready for the pump truck.

     On the same "Community" of homes, The Management company asked me to locate the drywells for the downspouts  and turns out they where hooked to a Storm sewer that moved the rain water to a local catch basin. Again the management company did not know where they went til today.

     Septic Systems and drywells to even sewer lines and systems do get lost over time , It's my job to find them and I will.

Today's leaking waterline under a concrete slab in Suffolk County NY.

     Today we got a call from a homeowner who had a major flow of water coming out of his home on the side of their home. This came out from under the slab into their back yard. A mound of sand was forming. It looked like somebody just took a couple of bags of sand and dumped them in the backyard.

   Every contractor before me told the homeowner to bust up the entire kitchen floor to look for the leak.They got quotes and one of their friends told them to call me and they did.

     I arrived and took a look in the back to see the flow of water flowing into the mix of sand. It was cold water so I turned off the water and the water stopped.

     I told the homeowners that we had to find first where the pipe is that needs to be fixed and then that is when the very puzzled looks came across the faces of the homeowners. They said every contractor wanted to break up their kitchen to fix the pipe because they said the pipe was there. I asked them HOW did the other contractors know this and what did they do to figure this out and the homeowners just said nothing. I told the clients that this has to be the first thing to do because we just don't know where the water was coming from.

     I broke out some tools and a half hour later I found the location of the pipe that broke and it was not in their kitchen but in their living room, Some 50 feet away from their kitchen! I marked the area so their Plumber could make the fix with very little damage! Clients very happy as it got fixed today for 1/4 of the price of what others quoted them!
