It's official. The country is in the grips of a recession and we're all going to have to do a bit of belt tightening. In view of this unfortunate circumstance, why would any business want to take on an additional expense, such as membership in a trade organization' Well sir'or madam' membership in an organization like ours may just be one of the best investments you can make to help guide your business through these uncertain times. Read on.
The Long Island Liquid Waste Association has three types of membership: Regular Membership, Associate (A) and Associate (B).
Regular Membership is open to Septic Service Contractors licensed to operate in Nassau and/or Suffolk County. The majority of these companies can be considered small businesses with many having less than five employees, and companies of this size are often at a distinct disadvantage when purchasing many of the goods and services needed to operate. However, as LILWA members, they can take advantage of the purchasing power of the group and the savings can be considerable. For instance, the discount on group health insurance plans alone, obtained through LILWA, can actually exceed the cost of membership in the Association.
In addition, regular members may opt to be listed in the Find A Company page, an extremely popular feature of this web site. All members in good standing appear on the page, in alphabetical order, with their core operating area, so that potential customers who may be searching for a company by name, or by geographical area, can easily find a company to work with. LILWA's ranking in the search engines often puts us in the top five or better in the results of internet searches related to septic system problems. Picking up one or two jobs in this way can more than make up the cost of LILWA membership, and as is often the case, once you've done work for a customer, additional business follows.

If your septic system hasn't been serviced for quite some time, this might be a good time to have it done.
A month-long marathon of Holiday cooking, baking, house guests and parties can put an increased load on the system. All too often, the Holidays is the time of year when cesspool and septic system emergencies seem to crop up.
But little preventive medicine can save you a ton of aggravation and embarrassment. Just make sure that you have the system looked at by a reputable service company; one that is fully licensed and insured and preferably, one where the technicians are LILWA certified. It's your assurance that the service people have the necessary training to perform the required services properly and safely.
There is an extensive list of qualified service companies on the "Find A Company" page and while LILWA can't recommend a specific company, everyone on the list is a member in good standing of this organization and as such, required to be fully licensed and insured in the county(ies) in which they operate.
Click here to access the list. |
