"DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Joe and Denise are very nice and easy to talk to. They listen to what you need and made sure you understand the plan before they do anything. We asked for extra work and are very accommodating. With regards to work itself, they took their time to do it right. With us, we had a last minute change of septic tank size and Joe was so nice to accomodate us. They did an excellent job with our septic system and will definitely recommend them. We also feel like we gain a friend!"

"The technician called on a Sunday night to get the details; see pictures and scheduled the appointment for the next morning. The young man, Samba and another partner arrived, assessed what needed to be done, took out the damaged tank, and brought in a new tank. They worked diligently and professionally."

"Considering the issue at hand; I had a good experience. I called and spoke with Ken the owner.  He asked me a few questions like if I knew the size of the the current hot water heater; make etc. which I was able to provide.
He heard in my voice the panic and re-assured me that it was not as bad as it appears; so he was comforting to speak with.
I was given a time frame of 2 hours when the workers would arrive with the new hot water heater which was precise.
The mechanic and helper removed the broker hot water heater and replaced with a new one.  Clean up was excellent.

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.

There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.

You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.
