BEHIND THE SCENES: Things Customers Never See! 👀

Ever wonder how plumbers manage to work in those tight spaces underneath your sink? 😂

This handy little tool helps us loosen and tighten the nuts that hold your faucet in place, without having to squeeze a regular wrench into a space barely big enough for your hand!

It's one of those tools you probably never knew existed, but it sure makes our job easier!

Just a little behind-the-scenes look at the tools of our trade!

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐍’𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃

We recently finished this 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒔𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎, and we wanted to share some pictures from the process because there’s a lot more that goes into a proper septic installation than most people ever get to see.

One question we hear, especially in the spring, is:
“𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠?”

You’ll even hear contractors say, “𝙒𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧.”

That isn’t because we’re putting customers off. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙.

Weather, soil conditions, ground moisture, drainage, and local health department requirements all play a huge role in when a system can safely and properly be installed.

Heavy equipment on ground that’s too wet can compact the soil and damage its ability to absorb wastewater. Trenches and finger lines also need to be properly dug and leveled so wastewater distributes evenly throughout the system. Pipe grades and alignment matter, too.

Rush those steps and you could end up with:

🚩 Standing water or a soggy yard
🚩 Sewage backups
🚩 An overloaded drain field
🚩 Premature system failure
🚩 A very expensive repair or complete redo

There are also permits, soil evaluations, system designs, and health department requirements that have to be completed along the way.

𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤.

We understand waiting can be frustrating, but when we delay a septic installation because conditions aren’t right, we aren't forgetting about your job or trying to put you off. 𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮.

These pictures are from a 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙 once everything was ready to go. 👇🚜

At Kinetics Xcavating and Plumbing Services, we’d rather do it 𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 than rush it just to get it 𝘿𝙊𝙉𝙀.

Because waiting a little longer for the right conditions is a whole lot cheaper than digging it all back up later. 💩

Need plumbing work done? Don't be like Joe! 😂

Somewhere between the job site and the office, those messages disappear.

📞 Call the office to get on the schedule! (812) 264-8109

We can't schedule what we don't know about! 🤣

Customer called because their washer drain was stopped up and flooding the basement. Definitely not how anyone wants to spend laundry day.

Our apprentice got to work figuring out what was causing the stoppage and pulled a SOFTBALL out of the floor drain. Yep. A whole softball. 🥎😂

Once the unexpected MVP was removed, the drain was opened back up and the problem was solved.

Just another day in plumbing you truly never know what we’re going to pull out of a drain. 🤦‍♀️😂

𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖? A cleared sewer line doesn’t always mean a fixed sewer line.

When your sewer line backs up, getting it flowing again is the first priority but sometimes a stoppage is actually a 𝒔𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎.

🌳𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲. Roots naturally seek moisture and can work their way into tiny cracks, loose joints, or damaged areas of a sewer line. Once inside, they continue growing and create the perfect place for toilet paper, wipes, grease, and other debris to catch.

Other causes of repeat stoppages can include:
• Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipe
• Bellies or low spots in the line where waste settles
• Separated or shifted pipe connections
• Older, deteriorating sewer lines
• Heavy grease or buildup
• Foreign objects and those famous “flushable” wipes 😬

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕: We may be able to clear the blockage and get everything flowing again, but clearing the line doesn’t repair the damage that caused the blockage.

If roots entered through a damaged section of pipe, removing the roots doesn’t remove the opening they came through. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. Debris can begin collecting again, and you may find yourself dealing with another backup.

That’s why recurring stoppages shouldn’t just be treated as “another clog.” A sewer camera inspection can help determine 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 and whether a repair or replacement may be the better long-term solution.

🎸 𝐅𝐔𝐍 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓: Before achieving rock-and-roll fame, 𝑶𝒛𝒛𝒚 𝑶𝒔𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆. 🤘

Apparently, the Prince of Darkness almost became the 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆. 😂

So, remember: 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐄𝐃 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Forget the yellow brick road… just follow the plumber’s boots. 🥾😂
Somewhere under there is a house getting replumbed.

💗𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 💗

This October, our crew is wearing pink shoe covers and these special buttons in honor of the people who have fought, are fighting, or have been affected by breast cancer.

Each button has a name, and each name has a story. 💕 One of our crew members will even be alternating between two buttons because she has 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 she wears pink for.

So if one of our guys or gals shows up at your door looking a little extra pink this month, now you know why. 🩷

𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓?

We asked the crew, so you don’t have to.

“Flushable” wipes? ❌
Paper towels? ❌

The rule is simple: If it didn’t come off a roll, it doesn’t go in the bowl. 🧻

Take it from the guys who have to pull that 💩 back out. 😂
