I have held off writing a review on Aero-Stream despite being pleased with the results long before now. Just to summarize our situation, we, like many others, were in deep poo. We knew our drain field wasn’t up to par for quite some time but hadn’t had any serious problems. Yet. Most of our problem was in mowing the grass because of the almost perpetual dampness. I should also mention the grass was patchy for several years.
One day, as we were gearing up for spring, we were outside and noticed standing water on top of our septic lid. We proceeded to pop the lid and obviously found it completely full. Keep in mind this is a 2000 gallon tank that had just been pumped out 9 months earlier. Also keep in mind we typically only have two people in the house, three at the most. Not good, huh? Of course we call our septic guy, he comes out and pumps it out. I decided to pick his brain a little and ask if there is anything we can do to get this under control. He tells me the tank itself looks good but the drain field is “shot”. Great. My mind goes to a local guy I know who does excavation. I call him and tell him what’s going on. I ask him if there’s anything we can do. He tells me I need to get an engineer. He can’t touch anything because of permits, plans, approvals. This is the way it’s done now. He gives me the number of an engineer he has worked with. I make the call and find out that for $2000 he can draw up plans for our new drain field. He needs a $1000 down and $1000 when the plans are complete. Oh and I need a survey too. If I have one they’ll use it, if not that’s approximately another $600. I felt sick. $2600 and my problem won’t be solved. This is just for plans the guy can probably draw up with one eye closed while sitting on the toilet. Fortunately, we’re the type of people who will look for a Plan B even if people say there isn’t one. That’s how we found Aero-Stream. I read the testimonials. I read the guarantee. I weighed out our situation. We either spend $895 for a product with a money-back guarantee or we buy $2600 worth of paperwork just to get a $12k-$15k project started. That’s a no-brainer folks. Buy the Aero-Stream. It works. It’s an awesome product with great people backing it up. Take a look at our photos. We’ve now been running the Aero-Stream for five months. The “before” photos may not look really bad compared to some but trust me it was just a matter of time before we would be seeing back-ups and subsequent damages. (As a little side note I’d like to mention that in July alone we accumulated over 6.5” of rain here in South Jersey. Recorded as the 19th “wettest” July in 123 years. May and June weren’t much better.)
Many thanks to Karl Holt and his team at Aero-Stream. You saved us thousands of dollars. We couldn’t be happier with your product.
