Lost Jewelry Found Years Later In Septic Tank

Here is the ultimate explanation of why it’s always within your absolute best interest to be consistent with getting your Dutchess County NY septic tank cleaning, at least every two years.

A Canadian woman from British Columbia recently discovered her jewelry in her septic tank some three years after her son had flushed it down the toilet, according to the Toronto Metro. The amount of jewelry that she had originally lost was not just a wedding ring lost in the shower. It was a considerably large amount of jewelry, including her wedding band, but also another diamond ring, her engagement ring, a pair of diamond earrings and pendant!

She said she had to hire an underground pipe worker to crawl beneath the house and dig into the pipes. The whole operation turned out to be extensive, but thanks to her unrelenting hope and her husband who is also a pipe worker, David’s perseverance, all of the jewelry was eventually recovered.

She explained how her husband worked hard to buy those things for her, which is why he wasn’t about to just let it all just disappear into the abyss. Instead, he grabbed his flashlight and crawled down under the house, never losing faith that the jewelry could still be retrieved.

After banging around for a good while, they eventually had the whole tank searched by a professional septic tank service. As a side note, regardless of whether or not you’ve lost a diamond ring, a good cleaning can make a huge difference both on your own home’s plumbing as well as the surrounding environment in your neighborhood.

Searching a septic tank is no easy task, and it’s certainly not a fun one. But it’s a job that has to get done nonetheless, and we owe a lot to the people willing to do it. The gentleman from the septic tank service spent nearly three hours cleaning out the tank and they still couldn’t find it.

But just last month, the same service returned after the woman and her husband had sold the house. Whenever there is a change in property ownership, there must be an inspection and cleaning (If you’ve recently moved into a house and need a Dutchess County NY septic tank inspection, Jones Septic is at your service).

This time, the gentleman was not so unsuccessful. The jewelry was sitting right there in front of him. He retrieved her engagement ring and the pendant and promptly contacted the couple who previously owned the house. The wedding ring and diamond earrings have yet to be found, but the woman was extremely grateful particularly for getting the pendant back.

The moral of the story is to never give up hope, and to keep up with your Dutchess County NY septic tank cleaning. If you or someone you know has a septic system that needs inspection or cleaning, you’re only moments away from making an appointment that could make a world of difference. It is necessary, and will save you a giant burden later in life. For more information, call Jones Septic today at 845-452-1123, or feel free to contact us online anytime.
