Air Admittance Valves

Air admittance valves (AAVs) are mechanical devices used in plumbing systems to allow air to enter the drainage system while preventing sewer gases from escaping into the home. These valves serve as an alternative to traditional venting methods, particularly in areas where conventional venting through the roof is impractical or not feasible.

Septic Systems with Brad Korth

A septic system is an essential part of waste management for homes that are not connected to a public sewer. It treats and disposes of household wastewater by filtering solids and liquids through a series of underground tanks and drain fields. Proper maintenance, including regular inspections and pumping, is crucial to prevent costly repairs and ensure the system operates efficiently.
