"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

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.

Having a well means that a household’s water supply, including water that comes through faucets, showerheads, and appliances, is supplied through a private source rather than from a city. The well pulls fresh water from an underground water supply, such as an aquifer, and the well pump pushes the water from the well to your household.

The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to well water versus city water, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.

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.

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.
