Travel Fee Policy
We believe in transparent pricing. Your travel fee is determined by your distance from our Altoona base — calculated once and added to your service total. No surprises on your invoice.
Travel fees are charged once per visit, regardless of how many services are performed during that visit. Regular maintenance clients receive priority scheduling within their zone.
How It Works
Getting started is simple. We handle everything from the first assessment through every scheduled visit.
Assessment
We evaluate your current ecosystem — water parameters, plant health, equipment condition, and livestock wellbeing — and recommend a maintenance schedule.
Schedule
We set a recurring maintenance schedule that fits your ecosystem's specific needs — weekly for high-tech planted tanks, monthly for low-tech setups.
Service
Our technician arrives on schedule, performs all maintenance tasks, and leaves a written report of everything done and any observations.
Monitor
We track trends in your water parameters and plant health over time, catching issues early before they become problems.
