At the end of every work day all of the Herring workers come back in the office to clock out and are usually quiet and tired. This day they were all energized and excited.
Herring has been in business for 38 years and this is the first time we went to replace a tank and could not find one piece of it left. Many times we find tanks that have the lids rotted off and this rot usually extend down to the baffles. At that point we recommend replacing the Septic Tank and maybe upgrading to meet the current Board of Health codes.
The Septic Tank that all the men were amazed at was originally installed in 1967. That was as old as the installer, Jason Herring. Jason is in much better shape, thank goodness. Everyone was amazed that the hole in the ground where the tank SHOULD have been did not cave in on itself. We think that this installation is the oldest tank we have come in contact with that was still in use. Actually we never did come in contact with even one piece of the tank and they told stories of how they search for it. So as we replaced the tank, you can imagine that we did not have to charge a disposal fee for the old tank. Literally there was nothing left.
