"Oscar called me within 5 minutes from the time I entered my info at Home Advisors website. He met with us that afternoon and gave us a detailed proposal along with an education about septic systems and the annual maintenance which should have been performed to keep the tanks maintained. Not knowing what type of septic tanks we had, Oscar drove to the county, pulled up our records and called us with the information. We have dealt with another septic company for many years and feel grateful that we were referred to Oscar. He and his work crew were always on time and did an exceptional clean up job afterwards. We needed a couple of things redone, Oscar was at our house the next morning and had one of his guys follow up with the remaining work immediately. If you need septic work done - look no further, contact Oscar. Don't waste your time getting estimates from several different contractors, Oscars bids were lower than anyone else's."

"The backyard of our house was flooded, which ended up being our old water heater flooding out the bottom.  Bob and Marc Plumbing came out right away, assessed what was going on and accurately estimated the work that needed to be done.  Best thing about it was they came the next day and got the work done.  It was done quickly and professionally.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

It only takes a few days for a septic tank to fill with water after a pro has pumped it. This is completely normal, and the water is a vital part of your septic system’s wastewater treatment process. The water that fills your tank days after pumping is not the same as the tank being filled with waste. You shouldn’t have to pump your septic system more than once every three to five years unless you have a tank that’s too small for your home’s water output or there’s a problem with your leach field. 

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.
