Customers say: True professional

"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."

"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

Modern septic tanks have two lids: one that covers the inlet where wastewater flows into the tank and one that covers the outlet where the treated water flows out to the drain field. However, older septic tanks installed before 1975 may have only one lid. Because septic tanks last 20 to 40 years, if yours only has one lid, it may be time for a replacement.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. 

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.
