"On time, did the job quickly. Was not expecting the 'additional fees' they quoted after arriving. Especially when they asked 'did the office tell you about ...?, which they did not. So, quote of $535 turned into $880 after the 'tank opening fee $75', the 'filter cleaning fee $65', the 'wash tank fee $65' and 'extra water fee $140'. Pro tips 1) ask what the added charges will be 2) uncover the tanks yourself 3) spray down the solids tank (hose water) and 4) clean your own filter before contractors arrive, save yourself $345."

"Chris and his crew at Plumber Kings provided exceptional work. From the beginning of the project of installing a new sewer line and clean out, they guided me through the process and gave me piece of mind that the work would be done to my high expectations. With this job they had to dig up a trench and break into the concrete, but his crew not only performed professional quality work, theyâ re craftsman and do things the correct way. There are also not many plumbing companies that can do complete jobs like they didâ putting the front yard back to normal after the dig and doing concrete work to my carport. While working they kept the area clean and were super friendly and knowledgeable when I asked them several questions. They will be the first to call again if I need any plumbing work done."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Utilizing Angie's list to find Coles Excavating was extremely helpful to find a reliable and knowledgeable Contractor. I obtained 3 bids as recommended. Robert Cole answered all my questions and immediately made an appointment to look at our septic tank that needed to be replaced. He recommended a septic tank that was available at Home Depot and we were able to purchase using my military discount saving additional cost. Robert gave us a fair and competative price. He completed the installation and did a good job restoring the desert landscape. From beginning to end Robert communicated with us to ensure we knew each stage of the project. We can highly recommend Robert and his sons for excavation and septic tank installation."

"Dan C. arrived on time and, despite an immovable shelf over the tank, diagnosed the problem. Although he barely had room to reach into the tank, he was able to replace the original gasket, which had all but disintegrated. Problem solved. Dan explained everything he was doing, and despite having to struggle to install the gasket, was patient and affable throughout. Would definitely hire again."

"They are prompt, courteous, honest and reasonable. I needed fill-dirt and decorative rock in my back and side yard. They suggested using dirt from my acre instead of buying dirt from a company. They are cognizant of saving the customer money when they can and I like that in a company. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to others."

"They have been coming out to my house for 20 years. They are a good company. They are prompt, professional, and clean up after themselves. Their price is okay, but worth it. They are knowledgeable. It took them about five hours. It was complicated because the lid fell apart and they had to bring it up from the septic tank, which was ugly. They cleaned up completely."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

The water refills in a well through gravity that draws water from the water table to fill the vertical hole. The pump brings the fresh water through a pressure tank and to the pipes in your house. The well continues to refill indefinitely as long as you don’t use more water than the well is producing.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.
