"Isaac and team were incredible in getting a bunch of updating old and out-of-code plumbing work done on our tricky 100-year-old house. They took time to really dig in and assess the right game plan to make sure not only that all the plumbing and vents were done properly, but that they looked great given some would still be exposed / visible under our porch. The team was communicative and courteous. Our new plumbing is working like a charm. The tankless heater and smart shutoff are cranking. And everything passed on first inspection. The inspector even commented how clean and detailed it all looked. Would recommend SplashFix for any project, big or small."

"Jose and his crew were great! He came highly recommended by a neighbor, who had hired them to completely re-plumb her house. We needed our 75-year-old sewer line replaced: I got an estimate within a day or two of requesting one, and he caught a problem with the original installation that other contractors had missed in their inspection. Jose and his crew did the work as promised and cleaned up the site every day---spotless! We had a small tree that was growing near the line which they managed to save, which we didn't think was going to be possible, and they managed to dig a huge hole in our tiny front yard without a lot of impact to our other landscaping. They handled all the permitting and inspections, too, and made sure I got copies of all the relevant paperwork for our household records. I highly recommend Pipe-Thru, they were so easy to deal with and completely professional all the way. They charged a fair and reasonable price for the work. I will definitely call them when I have any other underground piping issues--including installing electrical conduit to our backyard shed, which we want to do in the future. Can't recommend them highly enough."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic smell may be harmful because sewer gas is dangerous depending on the exposure amount and length of time. Sewer gas is made up of multiple gases, including hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Some of these gases, like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are toxic to humans and can be fatal in high concentrations or long exposures.

While homeowners connected to a municipal sewer line still have to keep up with plumbing maintenance, the downside to a septic system is that all the maintenance falls on the homeowners. Not calling in a pro to pump the tank every few years or accidentally flushing or draining the wrong types of materials can quickly cause clogs, which can back up into drains around the home.

The lifespan of your well casing depends mainly on the material it’s made from. Stainless steel and galvanized steel casings are designed to withstand the pressures and environment of deep-water wells but are susceptible to corrosion. Most steel casings last from 20 to 35 years, on average. PVC casing is highly durable and, if used correctly, can last up to 50 years.

Trick question: There is no standard depth! Your septic tank may be buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet below the surface of the earth, depending on factors like the height of the bedrock in your area and how far from your home the septic tank is located. If you’re not sure where your septic tank is located, a professional can help you find it.

Septic tank costs vary with the size of the tank—and the size you need depends on the size of your household. For example, a 1,000-gallon septic tank is the minimum size for most 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom homes, and costs between $900 and $1,500. However, the tank is only one part of the septic system—which costs significantly more to install. If you’re setting up a new septic system (rather than replacing an existing tank), you can expect to pay about $7,310 on average. Costs can be higher depending on the type of septic system you choose.
