"Ben took an interest in the project, and gave us great advice on how to do it within our budget. He took the initiative to call the rock supply company and get the road base delivered while he was here. Highly recommended!"

"Live Action Engineering Inc. did an outstanding job installing our septic system on our off-grid property in Sutter Creek. Professional, hardworking, and incredibly knowledgeable. They worked smoothly with the county, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done right the first time. It’s obvious why they’re so well known and highly recommended in Amador County. We’re beyond grateful for their integrity and quality work."

"Septic Pumping and Drain Solutions pumped our septic tank and we have made arrangements for them to do some repairs in the next two weeks. They were in time, very professional with state of the art equipment. When talking about the repairs, they explained everything and have given us a very good price. They have been the best we've ever worked with and we will continue to use them now and in the future."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

While dry wells can be effective for managing rainwater, they have several disadvantages. They can become clogged with sediment, especially after large storms, which reduces their effectiveness and can be difficult to clean. Dry wells are also not suitable for all soil types; they will not function properly in soil with low permeability. Additionally, if a dry well is not large enough to handle the amount of rainfall in your area, it can overflow. For gravity-flow models, the water may disperse very slowly, depending on the well's depth and the soil's permeability.

With so much available information about the ecological effects of cesspools (and their general unpleasantness), it begs the question: Are cesspools legal? In short, sort of. Large-capacity cesspools that serve more than 20 people are completely illegal countrywide. Existing, smaller cesspools are generally allowed as long as they’re not actively polluting. However, new cesspools are illegal to build in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and many states offer programs to help homeowners with the costs of updating cesspools to modern septic systems.

The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to well water versus city water, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.
