"Felix and his brother showed up in the morning after the leak was discovered, on time, and took care of the problem. They had to open the slab some of the drywall and replace the pipe. They did a great job and had everything ready to go for Christmas Eve dinner. Hot water for showers and cooking/clean up. Friendly and informative too."

"Danny did an outstanding job on replacing our septic system. We weren’t looking forward to having it done, however Danny made this process very easy for us. Danny did flawless work and had it done a lot sooner than we expected. He took the time to explain the process of replacing the septic system, answered all our questions and addressed any concerns we had. Danny not only does tremendous work, but he is an honest and good guy. I would recommend him for sure if you need to hire a contractor for some work."

"This was our first experience using Wighton’s and it won’t be the last. Aaron was very professional and very nice to work with. Our air conditioner stopped working and he was able to fix it and did some maintenance work on the unit also. He also pointed out that we needed to replace the air filter which services our hvac system, which we were grateful that he did because we had never had it changed out with a new one and it was long overdue. We signed up for their maintenance program so that our ac/heating will be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. We are very happy with his work and highly recommend Wighton’s!"

"I had to have sewer drain pipes under my slab foundation replaced. I got quotes from two vendors and chose Drain Masters as they understood the effort needed and provided reasonable options using newer techniques to cut down the cost. Felix was the lead for my project and did a great job. He was very communicative and managed his team and the project well. There was a follow on fix needed which they identified when doing a final check. I would not have ever noticed it but they did and took care of it quickly. I highly recommend."

"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."

"My elderly mother had a blocked drain line, and she hired a different rooter service to fix it. The contractor said her septic tank needed to be pumped out - after pumping, he said the septic tank was cracked needed to be replaced at a cost of $38,000!! He then proceeded to dig up the back yard. As soon as I learned about this, I fired the contractor and contacted Martin - he came to the house in a couple of hours and inspected the tank and system. There was nothing wrong with the tank - he repaired some broken lines, replaced a line, got the tank back on line and backfilled the yard for $2500. Very nice to work with a pro and I would definitely recommend him."

"Prompt arrival. Knew what he was doing. Brought the proper filter plus an extra unit for us to have on hand when the unit needs replacement. Neat worker, cleaned up carefully and completely.
We have used this plumbing service for over 25 years. Would not change to an unknown or untried service. 
We were not charged for the standby replacement filter as a courtesy for our patience in cross communications.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Installation necessitates professional expertise due to complexity and to ensure safety when handling waste.

Yes, a septic tank can get full. If this happens, you might run into issues flushing your toilets or draining your sinks. You may also notice your pipes making gurgling noises or the smell of sewage floating around your house. Other signs of a backed-up septic tank include water pooling or fresh, healthy grass growing above your drain field.

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

The average cost to replace a septic tank or install a new system is typically around $7,350, with a broader average range of $5,000 to $12,000. However, total project costs can vary widely, from $5,000 to as much as $22,500. Key factors influencing the price include the size and type of the septic system, the tank material, and the size of your house.

It's important to distinguish between the cost of the tank itself and the cost of the entire system installation, which is significantly more. For the tank alone, costs vary by size:

  • A tank for a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900.

  • A 1,000-gallon tank, suitable for most one- to three-bedroom homes, costs between $900 and $1,500.

  • A tank for a five- or six-bedroom home generally costs $1,200 to $1,600.

To keep roots from growing into a septic tank. However, there are other steps you can take if existing tree roots are getting close to your septic tank. For one, you can install root barriers, which physically block roots from reaching your septic tank. You can also use chemical solutions in your yard or plumbing system to deter root growth.
