"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."

  I needed a plumber for my Moms house and found Brian and his team by luck.  I will say that they were on time, professional, and did a fantastic job with our clogged line.  Also, the price was right where I thought it would be for having a plumber at my house all day working hard.  This is a first class operation.

  I will recommend them to any one who asks!  Great Job!

"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

Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it’s generally safe for septic systems. It won’t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

On average, septic systems last between 15 and 20 years. However, with proper care and routine septic maintenance, you may be able to extend your septic system’s life span to 30 years (or more). Some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape include scheduling a professional inspection every two to five years and reducing the flow of wastewater into your system.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
