Septic tank systems are constantly working to treat and dispose of waste from properties. By failing to maintain your system regularly, you can experience numerous problems including overflows, unpleasant odors, backed up toilets, and the presence of toxic sewage inside your home.

By scheduling regular repairs and maintenance appointments, you can enjoy lesser costs in the long run, just like with other types of household equipment. If you are currently experiencing issues with your septic tank system, BDS Drainage is now offering septic tank repair services.

How Often Should You Have Your Septic Tank Cleaned?

The majority of experts agree that septic tank systems should be cleaned every 2 to 5 years. However, several factors will affect how often you need servicing, such as the system's overall health condition, the number of household occupants, and the leach field's status.

For individuals that have septic tanks performing less ideally than usual or having issues, you can count on BDS Drainage in finding the best solution for your specific needs. You can also reach out to them to clarify whether you need a cleaning or not.

The Importance of Regular Septic Tank Emptying and Repair

One of the main reasons to get septic tank services regularly is to avoid problems including backed-up plumbing. When this happens, you'll have a bad odor throughout your home which you probably don't want.

Maintaining your septic tank system is also beneficial for the environment. If you neglect your system, the harmful wastewater from your septic tank may reach wells, groundwater, and local habitats. This should be highly considered because it can put the environment and its inhabitants at risk.

Benefits of Getting Septic Tank Services

Here are the advantages of having your septic tank system properly maintained:

Cost Reduction

The minor septic tanks issues you overlook can lead to leakages or burst pipes which is costly to repair. On top of that, you will likely be required to have your landscaping and property fixed as well. Opting for regular septic tank repair will significantly reduce the risk of expensive emergencies.

Protection for Your Family's Health

If you currently have a faulty septic tank, toxic sewage may get inside or around your property. Aside from producing an unpleasant odor, the exposure to waste puts the health of your family at risk.

Longer Septic Tank Lifespan

Having your septic tank serviced will extend the life of your system and keep its performance optimal. Some homeowners think that getting replacements is cheaper, but this is not the case. With expert assistance from BDS Drainage, you can rest assured that your septic tank is in top condition.

Safe and effective hand sanitizer is essential for staying healthy during the coronavirus global pandemic. Unfortunately, not only is hand sanitizer in high demand and difficult to find, but now many options are being deemed unsafe - or even toxic - by the Food and Drug Administration. That’s why Scottsdale-based Jigsaw Health developed its NEW Jigsaw Health Clean Hands™.

“The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way people prioritize hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer,” said Patrick Sullivan Jr., CEO & co-founder of Jigsaw Health. “The focus on minimizing germs is not likely to dissipate anytime soon, which is why hand sanitizers are difficult to come by – even five months after COVID invaded the U.S. With many products being recalled because of severe safety concerns, now more than ever, it’s important to choose a hand sanitizer you can trust.”

Jigsaw Health Clean Hands™ is alcohol-based so it’s effective and meets the requirements of “hand sanitizer”, as defined by the FDA. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue like many gel-based hand sanitizers in the market. It’s a spray so it’s more efficient and longer lasting than gel-based hand sanitizers. It contains aloe vera and Vitamin E to counteract the harshness of alcohol so that hands don’t end up feeling dry and peppermint oil for a fresh, clean smell that encourages customers to use it more frequently.

Sullivan Jr. worked with a member of Jigsaw’s Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Keith Chambers of Chambers Clinic, to bring Clean Hands™ to the marketplace. The product is simple, clean and effective. 

“The use of hand sanitizer is not going away anytime soon,” said Sullivan Jr. “This is part of our “new norm” so why not choose a product that provides a pleasant experience?”

Jigsaw Health is a family-owned and operated nutritional supplement company that has been in the Valley for more than 15 years. The organization’s goals are to help clients feel good through nutritional and vitamin supplements needed to live a full, happy and healthy life.

New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada, September 25, 2020 -- An early 20th century Seeburg “G” style Orchestrion coin-op machine sold for $24,780, a 27-inch Orchestral Regina upright music box from 1898 finished at $21,240, and an 1892 Swiss George Baker & Company cylinder music box fetched $10,030 in an online auction held September 19th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. based in New Hamburg.

All prices quoted are in Canadian dollars and are inclusive of an 18 percent buyer’s premium.

The event – officially titled a Music Machines, Coin-Op & Advertising auction – was led by the outstanding lifetime collections of Ken Vinen and Jack Winkler and also featured general store items, petroliana (gas station collectibles), breweriana and automobilia. A total of 624 lots came up for bid – many of them with roots in Canada – in an auction that grossed more than $389,000.

The Seeburg “G” Orchestrion was a coin-operated masterpiece, outfitted with original and replica components. It had actually been professionally modified from a Seeburg style “A” but retained the correct torch mosaic leaded art glass doors. The machine – impressive at 66 inches tall by 79 inches wide – was from the Ken Vinen collection and include 13 “G” music rolls.

The 27-inch Orchestral Regina upright music box, with 29 discs, was another coin-op marvel. Like so many music machines from the era, it was originally rented as a coin-consuming investment to shrewd bar owners. Aside from a being a money-maker, it provided fun entertainment, a sure way to divert thirsty patrons from neighboring establishments.

The George Baker & Company cylinder music box, made in Switzerland in 1922, was a rare variant, featuring the sublime harmony of a drum with six bells. Originally built with five 8-tune cylinders, the machine was lovingly restored by Darren Wallace in 2017 and maintained by Ken Vinen until his death in 2019. Included were five 8-tune cylinders.

“Quality, fresh to the market collections are always well-received among our buyers,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, adding, “Ken Vinen’s music machines sold like hot cakes. Originality and functionality meant a lot to Ken and this was evident in the prices realized. The phone was ringing all week. Nobody wanted to miss this opportunity. It was a great auction.”

While the list of top lots was loaded with music machines, it was actually an eclectic sale, with items ranging from a Canadian Goold high-wheel bicycle from around 1890, the front wheel 54 inches in diameter to the handlebars (S3,245); to an American-made early 20th century Holcomb & Hoke Butter-Kist popcorn machine in a walnut case ($3,835); to an adorable 1940s Addison model A2 “Baby” Bakelite radio made in Canada ($4,425).

Following are additional highlights from the auction, which was online-only, with live video feed from location. Internet bidding was provided by LiveAuctioneers.com and the Miller & Miller website (www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com). The 422 users placed a total of 8,162 bids; 47 percent of lots met or exceeded estimates and 32 percent of lots surpassed the high estimate.

The name Wurlitzer was called multiple times during the auction. A few lots sold as follows:

- A Wurlitzer Model 1015 jukebox, made in 1946, with a curated library of rock ‘n’ roll 78 rpm records. The Wurlitzer 1015 is the most identifiable jukebox ever made ($11,210).

- A Wurlitzer model 750 jukebox made in 1940, coin-operated and featuring a “bear claw” pickup. Also included is a library of 78 rpm records as shown on title cards ($8,850).

- A Wurlitzer 1015-CD “One More Time” jukebox, made in Germany around 1900, a version of the famous model 1015 and retrofitted to hold up to 100 CD discs ($4,425).

- A Wurlitzer model 61 jukebox, circa 1939, coin-operated, with an unfinished stand. A multi-selector phonograph jukebox that includes a library of 78 rpm records ($3,540).

A rare, two-sided Ford porcelain hanging dealer sign, made for the Canadian market in the 1930s, untouched and original, 27 ½ inches by 18 inches, changed hands for $3,540; while an American two-sided porcelain neon sign for General Electric from the 1950s, sizable at 56 inches by 50 inches, marked “Kolux Corp., Kokomo, Indiana” lower right edge, hit $3,245.

Two music machines brought $3,540 each. One was a J.P. Seeburg model “L” Nickelodeon and remote coin box, American-made in the 1920s, in a quarter-sawn oak case with leaded glass panels. The other was a 1920s American Edison Opera phonograph, original and untouched, the cabinet retaining its original finish and hardware. Included in the lot were ten 4-minute cylinders.

Taipei, TW/Palo Alto, CA | September 25, 2020 — InQuartik​ Corporation​, a global leader in providing patent analytics and solutions backed by timely and complete patent data, announced today with ClearstoneIP, a centralized freedom-to-operate workflow management platform, that it has signed a cooperative agreement to form a new and exciting alliance to provide in-depth patent validity analysis for Freedom to Operate (FTO).

Patentcloud’s Quality Insights will be integrated into the Clearstone FTO management platform to provide users with instant access to patent quality analysis — streamlining the patent clearance process.

• The alliance will allow Clearstone FTO users to obtain comprehensive validity reports for U.S. utility patents on the Clearstone FTO platform.
• The new feature will include a summary count of §102/103 references as well as the proprietary Patent Quality and Value Rankings.
• With deep analytics and metrics, users will be able to conduct thorough patent analysis within one integrated platform.

For years, Clearstone FTO has been a trustworthy and intuitive web platform, purpose-built for patent clearance and FTO processes. With Quality Insights’ comprehensive patent validity reports, users will be able to further inform FTO decisions and build strategies by efficiently evaluating a patent’s strength.

“With the foundational workflow processes in place in Clearstone FTO, we sought opportunities to add value to our customers’ patent clearance reviews by partnering with analytics providers. Y.P. Jou and InQuartik’s Quality Insights platform stood out and impressed us immediately with carefully-thought-out capabilities that demonstrate their deep wealth of industry experience.”

— Gabe Sukman, CEO and Co-Founder, ClearstoneIP

Clearstone FTO users may activate a 7-day free trial that includes two free Quality Insights reports by signing into Patentcloud using their Clearstone FTO account. The integration will allow Clearstone FTO users to:

• Browse a timeline of the prosecution and post-grant proceedings history;
• Map the claim terms to the patent’s specification to identify potential § 112 issues;
• Map the claim terms to the patent’s prosecution history to identify narrowing amendments, plus any § 102 and § 103 issues;
• Identify potential prior art using proprietary analytics features, including the prior art of family members, the prior art of cited references by examiner or petitioner, and AI-powered semantic prior art across the IP5 and WIPO;
• Generate a claim chart by using the one-click claim chart feature — Prior Art Analytics;
• Search through office actions and post-grant proceedings documents.

“Nowadays, companies can easily sell and ship their products to every corner of the world. As e-commerce is becoming more and more important in the post-pandemic era, these companies now face greater risks related to FTO. By forming this alliance with Clearstone FTO, we believe that its users will benefit from this integrated analytics platform and reduce the risk of patent infringement.”

— Y.P. Jou, Founder and CEO of InQuartik
