"I had a booger of a job because of the type of hot water tank that had to be replaced; but the installation went well. Jim did a great job and was very thorough. He also provided a great deal of needed information. After finishing the job, he informed me of a rebate that i would be getting...what a nice surprise! I highly recommend Jim and Coleson Plumbing and will be using them again."

"They answered the phone just before business hours when we discovered our septic tank had begun to overflow. They came out earlier than they promised and completed the job quickly and well. Both men were professional and friendly and graciously honored my Angie's list coupon plus some. Gave me excellent information about the problem and fixed it quickly. I will definitely use and recommend them in the future.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

How to size a well pressure tank is determined by three factors: flow rate, or how many gallons per minute your well pump produces; minimum runtime; and pressure switch setting. Most pressure tanks have a pressure switch operating at 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60—the first number is the pressure needed for the pump to turn on, and the second number is the pressure needed for the pump to switch off. Most homeowners relying on well water require a water pressure tank ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. 

You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.
