"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

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.

You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.

Most deep wells can be expected to last somewhere between 30 and 50 years. This assumes that the well and all of its components are properly maintained on a regular basis. During this time, it is unlikely that modern deep wells will run dry over the course of their typical lifespan. That is one of the biggest benefits of digging a deeper well. 

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.
