Customers say: Quick response

"They were able to get the job done within expected timeline but did not pay attention to the details. They hurried the pipe that needed to be left at a slight incline to drain, under the gravel. They didn?t confirm a time or way of payment collection and just showed up at home, followed my husband in garage asking fir money which I was supposed to pay and I was in communication with the company. I communicated and paid them next day but again got a payment request via home advisor a few days later. I consider that an unpleasant experience"

"Jared found me through the HomeAdvisor network when I inquired about septic installers. The install for my property was rather involved due to its location. The excavation was challenging as well as dealing with mandatory evacuations due to forest fires. Throughout this all, Jared maintained a professional attitude and was in regular communication with me. His work rate is outstanding, and despite the setbacks, he managed to get a system very close to our agreed-upon completion date. I would highly recommend him to anyone installing a septic system. I will most likely look to him in the future for excavation work as well."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

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.

The bacteria already present in your septic system should be enough to break down solids in a properly maintained septic tank. However, if you’re in a DIY mood, you can try adding (well-mashed) rotten tomatoes to help the good bacteria fulfill their duty. Just make sure you give them a couple hours to work after flushing them down.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.
