"When our septic pump stopped working I called Superior Septic. Angel came out and figured out the complicated problem that could have eluded someone with less experience, and skill. I am impressed with how fast he fixed our pump. I highly recommend him and his company."

Customers say: True professional

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"I live in a 120 yr old Victorian so the plumbing is far from being current. The clogged bathtub turned out a bit more than just a clog. Adolpho and his crew came back the next morning. In no time, they replaced the damaged pipe, and related items. As I am disabled I couldn't move the bins and other objects that blocked the basement ceiling access. They not only moved the boxes, they moved them back after they replaced the pipe. They also swept up the debris. They explained step by step what they were doing which was important to me. They were diligent, competent, and friendly. Forgot to mention, Adolpho Plumbing was very reasonable and competitive. If I need any plumbing services in the future, I will call on Aldolpho Plumbing again. TY again."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

French drains, sump pumps, and exterior waterproofing systems are common options. Choose one that best suits your property’s needs.

The average lifespan of a deep well pump is between 15 and 25 years, after which you’ll have to replace it. Several factors can affect the lifespan of a well pump, such as the quality of the unit. Proper maintenance and repair can also help extend your well pump’s lifespan as well as keep adequate water flow and pressure throughout your home.

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.
