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

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.

There are a few things that can make your drain field fail. These include driving or parking vehicles or heavy machinery on the field, excess sodium in the soil, or having a high water table. You can prevent failure by ensuring your installer checks that your chosen location is suitable for a drain field and properly maintaining your system with the help of a professional.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.
