Aquarius Home Services is the top home service provider in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Offering expert service in HVAC, Water Softeners, Plumbing and Electrical . Our work is backed by a 100% performance guarantee.

"Nick was waiting for me when I came back from an errand. He was very good at explaining what he was going to do, then did it, then explained what he found. Very professional! Aquarius should tweak their scheduling plan to incorporate windows of when the tech will arrive. The current method of announcing that the tech will be there without stating when is very inconvenient for the homeowner."

Founded in 1994 by Doug Newhouse, Sure-Dry is one of the largest basement waterproofing and foundation repair contractors in Wisconsin. Based in Menasha, Sure-Dry proudly serves Northeast and Central Wisconsin. If you have a flooded basement, musty crawl space, cracked walls, bowing foundation walls, signs of sinking, or uneven concrete, Sure-Dry can help. Whether the solution is sump pumps, vapor barriers, push piers, helical piers, wall anchors, or lifting/leveling concrete, our specialists are here to fix your problem.

"The initial project of enlarging existing sump pump hole and installing a second one on the other side of the basement where they also repaired a crack in the basement wall went O.K. Except for a few minor complaints, the past two years have been fine. At our annual maintenance check this year (2-16-23), the guy supposedly checked everything including putting in new battery where needed thus charging their $150 fee. Four days later (2-20-23), we have them back again to replace the entire black box on wall that contains the battery he previously replaced as the sump pump float had stuck a couple days later. Fine and dandy, but they charged us yet another $150 for this visit also. $300 in exactly four days. Totally unacceptable. I find it hard to believe that that black box could have gone bad in just the four days since he was here. Their Customer Service Relations that they pride themselves on is non-existent. They aren't even willing to compromise, discuss or come to some sort of an agreement to make both parties happy. They wanted me to change my review on their website, but I refuse to. I'm not going to lie. I would not recommend them to anyone. Yet, their email firmly stated they appreciate our business. Unbelievable!"

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Septic system repairs FAQs

A septic tank lasts 20 to 30 years and can extend its life up to 40 years with disciplined maintenance. Regular pumping, annual inspections, and careful use of the system ensure long-lasting performance. Proper care—including flushing only approved materials and scheduling professional cleanings—protects your septic system and maximizes its lifespan.

Leach field failure can often occur due to a lack of proper maintenance, hydraulic overload, or environmental factors. When too much water enters the septic system—like running multiple large laundry loads back-to-back—it can overwhelm the leach field. Regular professional inspections, ongoing maintenance, and spacing out high-water-use activities help prevent failure.

A septic tank shows repair needs when noticeable symptoms arise around your home. Noticeable signs include strong sewage odors at fixtures, recurring pipe blockages, pooling water or damp patches near the leach field, and areas of unusually bright green or spongy grass. These indicators confirm that deteriorating components or clogs exist. Monitoring such signs and scheduling timely professional inspections prevents further costly damage.

Adhering to a strict, scheduled maintenance plan prevents septic system repairs. An annual inspection and a pump-out every three to five years safeguard your system’s performance. Additionally, only flushing waste and toilet paper, installing drain filters, keeping nonapproved items out of the system, and avoiding excessive water use help maintain your septic system’s health and efficiency.
