"This was the 1st time using this G-septic as the other company we have used in the past appears to not be in business anymore. Was thoroughly impressed by the services we received, we had them pump our tank and after they finished they noticed my main pipe entering the tank was cracked. They were able to not only let us know of the need for a repair but gave us a price to fix it. He dug out the trench and quickly fixed it at a very very reasonable price. Super pleased, had a great conversation with Edgar the owner while he was onsite turns out this man who looks to be in his late 20's has been doing this work for 20 years and boy you can tell, he is so knowledgeable, sure glad we stumbled upon him when we Google searched septic pumpers."

"Jesus Perez came right away on a Saturday to fix a leak that had been occurring underneath our kitchen sink. He was professional, polite and proficient! He had it fixed quickly. His rates are great. And he warranties the work. As new homeowners we are so glad to have Jesus as our official go to for any future plumbing needs."

"I had a leak in a pipe in the radiant heating pipes in the slab under my house. James was able to isolate the leak and re plumb my system without cutting a hole in the slab. He and his crew did some great creative plumbing that took care of the leak and separated the unused radiant system from my household plumbing and they even installed a new tankless heater in a single days work.. I recommend James and Bowen Plumbing without reservation. They are the Best!"

"They are family owned and operated. Jorge was very friendly and professional, and did everything to help. They even moved the tops of the tanks that must have been over a hundred pounds to a different location and installed Risers. We had to find where the septic tanks were, and what type of tanks, and what was needed to bring the tanks up to code. So we can sell the property. We would recommend them to anyone."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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 well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.

Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.
