"HONEST. Licensed. Reliable. Responsive. Knowledgeable. Communicative. Competent. Great value. Lonnie is all these things. I have used Lonnie several times: 1) plumbing repipe an en entire house 2) install new water heaters in two different houses 3) run sewer cameras in four different houses 4) pressure jetted sewer lines in three different houses 5) re-routed furnace gas lines 6) multiple smaller jobs I use Lonnie for my plumbing jobs because I trust him. I simply call him, explain what needs to be done. He provides me a very competitive quote, He starts the job quickly, keeps me updated on progress or if any unexpected issues arise. The job is done competently on a timely basis. Cleanup is thorough. Even after all my dealings with him, I am still surprised AND impressed with how responsive he is to my phone calls and texts . I know it can be stressful finding a plumber.that is trustworthy. I have already done the hard part for you. The fact I have used him several times and for large jobs (and smaller jobs) speaks volumes about his skill and even more so about his character. Call Lonnie and you will quickly realize he will competently complete your job. Furthermore, once heâ s done, you will feel very comfortable recommending him to to friends and family."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

A cistern works by collecting rainwater from your gutters and downspouts and storing it in a holding tank. The holding tank can be installed above or below ground, and the size will depend on your household needs. The stored water can then be used for household tasks, watering your garden, and even for drinking water.

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.

If your septic tank is still within its expected lifespan and you need to relocate it on your property, it's possible to do so. However, because the task is so labor-intensive and costly, most homeowners simply choose to abandon the old tank if possible and install a new system in the new location. In either case, hiring a professional installation company will be necessary for the job. 

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.
