"He was on time, friendly, and honest. We had a plumber tell us that the pipe was broken at the septic tank so Phil and Mike came out to dig it up and replace it. When he dug it up he found that the pipe was not broken and was totally honest about it and gave us options and help that solved our issue we were having. I would totally use him again for any work I need done in the future."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain. 

Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and size of your well pump.

Depending on the size and location of your septic tank repair job, you may want to let the septic pros finish before tackling other backyard work. However, in some cases, it’s not a bad idea to coordinate between your providers if the timing’s right and your septic repair pro says it’s safe to do so. For instance, if the septic repair work is happening in the fall, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare your backyard landscaping for winter , or in spring, start mulching the garden beds.

With proper maintenance, most types of septic systems—including mound, evapotranspiration, and constructed wetland systems—can last up to 40 years. To keep your system running as long as possible, follow basic septic tank upkeep guidelines, like pumping your septic tank every three to five years and only flushing human waste and toilet paper.

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.
