Be mindful of excess water in or around your home.Foul odor – often times, as your septic tank beings to back up, you’ll notice a sour, or putrid odor.Waste water backups – finding waste backup in toilets, sinks or other places around the home is a sure sign that something isn’t functioning correctly.Water bubbles – discovering the presence of bubbles in your toilets – bubbling back after a flush means something could be off. Also, take notice of sinks that begin to make a gurgling sound as they drain.These are the four main signs that your septic system is due for a check-up.

Perks of being an APEX Plumbing Technician!
Most people may perceive that the job of a plumber might not have as many perks as some occupations. Some days I would have to agree, however if you service areas located in the beautiful mountains of Colorado you might agree that there are a few perks to our job.
During any service call, it isn’t rare to see the most majestic of views and the most beautiful of creatures big and small roaming through areas such as Red Feathers Lakes, Crystal Lakes and Livermore to name only a few.
Our technicians have frequent sitings of the cow moose and her calf’s breaking through the trees or experience a bull elk dart out in front of our service trucks knowing that impact would most likely damage the vehicle rather than the strong powerful animal.
It wouldn’t be fair if we kept these experiences to ourselves and not share with our customers and all of you that dream of experiencing the beauty of Colorado first hand. We hope that you enjoy our photo gallery!
