"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."

"I've used Jose four times in five years and have been very pleased every time. If it's a big job he brings enough people to get the job done quickly. The work is clean, his pricing fair and very competitive. He is good at communicating and offering options. He has always been on time and finished the job on time or ahead of time. I would definitely recommend him."

"Dennis from Panico called me within 5 minutes after submitting my issue on HomeAdvisor! After talking with Dennis, we set up an appointment for them to pump out our Septic tank. Final arraignments were made through Lauren who was very personable! The technician crew arrived who very professional and personable also! They explained the workings of a septic system s to me in detail (as a retired engineer I love detailed explanations). Pumping took less than an hour, but it turned out we also had a blockage in our drain somewhere suspected close to the septic tank waste inlet. It was decided to use a small snake and enter through the waste dump in the septic tank. The clog was found about 8 feet into the drain and was cleared in about 15 minutes. This saved a couple hundred dollars instead of removing the toilet as normal procedure and running a snake that direction. We were very happy the problem was solved quickly saving us money. These folks are VERY honest and enjoy the work they do! I would recommend them to anyone; they are an outstanding awesome company!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

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.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.
