"I had Oscar (owner) in the past but had never met him. My renters said he didn't respond to their calls when I need the original Septic repaired. First time I had him repair (rework) the newer septic. Then I found him again on Home Advisor - great!! He never received the tenant's call. He has 20 years experience. On time. Cleans up. Fast and efficient. Plus, he is a really a nice guy. He has an assistant Josh, also very nice guy. You won't be disappointed."

"Exceptional Service from Ryan, Hayley, and Julio! I recently contacted Hammer Plumbing for a 2nd opinion after S&G Pumping told me that my septic tank needed to be replaced for $8000 to $9000. I opted to get a 2nd opinion from Hammer Plumbing. The gentleman who answer the office line, quickly set up an inspection at NO CHARGE to verify the other companies findings and provide me an estimate. Ryan contacted me about my upcoming appointment and went over what he was going to do for the inspection. He went out to my home and verified that the septic system in fact DID NOT need to be replaced. It is an unusual style tank but only a minor repair and re-certification, was all that was needed. I was sent a clear estimate of costs and scheduling was easy. Hayley got me in right away to get the work completed. Julio came out and performed the repair and recertification of the septic system. I greatly appreciate the honesty and integrity of Hammer Plumbing and would recommend them to anyone."

"It went great. Jose is knowledgeable about all things dealing with plumbing and he also has expertise in septic tanks. I just discovered my garage has one. My house is connected to the city sewer line and I had no idea how septic tanks function. He knew just what do and performed the inspection free. He explained how septic tanks work and what I might need in the future. He will be my go to guy from now on."

"We have dealt with Best Service on 3 occasions.  Once to check for a leak in the water main to the house (no leak, no charge) and twice to have new toilets installed.  Luis came out to install the toilets and is very professional and informative.  He is fast and strong enough to lift our one piece toilets by himself. He also took our old toilet and packaging to be recycled.  We highly recommend Best Service."

"They had to come out 4 times. The first water heater started leaking after 6 months. It was replaced. The second water heater also started leaking after 6 months. I contacted the manufacturer and they recommended a thermal expansion tank be installed. It was not installed the first or second time the water heaters were installed. I did have to pay a re installation fee. I picked up the 3rd water heater myself and they gave me natural gas water heater instead of propane. The fourth attempt they finally got it right and so far the water heater has worked after 7 months. The guy was very responsive as far as my calls and issues. He came out whenever I needed. Unfortunately, the entire experience was just a train wreck."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it’s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home.
