"The entire staff at Pump & Dump are professional, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and pleasant and I couldn't have asked for a better response time during the holidays. The drivers/operators were in and out, answered all my questions, did an excellent job and even smoothed out the hose lines made in the mulch. The equipment is up-to-date, clean and well-cared for. I will always call them first and highly recommend them."

"On time and smiling! A water heater valve blew and we were without hot water. Shane and Michael arrived early the next morning. The job was not an easy one due to location of the water heater and the tight space. They assessed the situation and gave me a bid in line with other bids given over the phone. They started work immediately. It is so refreshing to work with people who take pride in their work and who care for their customers. They did stellar work. They brought everything up to code and the job was done quickly and beautifully. Nothing left behind but a job well done and a very satisfied customer. They even threw in a toilet tank adjustment before they left when they heard it running. I would absolutely recommend this company! No hesitation!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

A well pressure tank is located between the well and the well pump, and it stores your water under pressure so that the well pump can eventually do its job. The well pump is activated whenever you turn a faucet on—it pulls the water from the tank into your home. Both are vital parts of a complete well water system.

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.

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 easiest thing you can do to prolong the life of your septic system is to adopt septic-safe practices. This includes not flushing non-biodegradable items, chemicals, or excessive grease down drains and scheduling regular septic tank pumping to prevent buildup. It’s also important to fix plumbing leaks promptly and to practice water conservation to avoid overloading the system. To maintain your drain field, avoid heavy vehicle traffic and plant shallow-rooted vegetation in the area. Most importantly, invest in routine inspections and maintenance to detect and address issues early.
