"Danny did an outstanding job on replacing our septic system. We weren’t looking forward to having it done, however Danny made this process very easy for us. Danny did flawless work and had it done a lot sooner than we expected. He took the time to explain the process of replacing the septic system, answered all our questions and addressed any concerns we had. Danny not only does tremendous work, but he is an honest and good guy. I would recommend him for sure if you need to hire a contractor for some work."

"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

"My elderly mother had a blocked drain line, and she hired a different rooter service to fix it. The contractor said her septic tank needed to be pumped out - after pumping, he said the septic tank was cracked needed to be replaced at a cost of $38,000!! He then proceeded to dig up the back yard. As soon as I learned about this, I fired the contractor and contacted Martin - he came to the house in a couple of hours and inspected the tank and system. There was nothing wrong with the tank - he repaired some broken lines, replaced a line, got the tank back on line and backfilled the yard for $2500. Very nice to work with a pro and I would definitely recommend him."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Deciding between an engineered septic system and a conventional one depends on property size, soil quality, local regulations, and environmental factors. If your property has limited space, poor soil, or is close to sensitive environmental features, an engineered system may be required. Professional site evaluations, considering water usage, long-term plans, and budget constraints, can help determine the appropriate choice. Consulting with a septic system professional is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations and selecting the best system for your property's unique needs.

Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it’s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn’t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems. 

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

Septic tanks appear full after pumping because the liquid levels have returned to normal. If you can see the pipe, the tank is empty. However, heavy rain can cause septic tanks to fill faster than normal. You might also have leaky pipes or faucets, causing extra water to drip down the drains and into the septic tank.

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.
