"Luis Septic Service agreed to replace our septic ejection pump and tank alarm with the pump and alarm switch I had purchased. As we tested together we agreed that the Alarm switch or circuitry was the reason the alarm had triggered and not because the tank had overflowed. I elected to replace the pump as the old one was 7 yrs old. We worked together and completed the project successfully ... $500"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Choosing a reliable septic tank company starts by finding an experienced company in your area with positive customer reviews online. You can also use the following tips to help ensure you have a positive experience:

  • Choose a company that is licensed and fully insured

  • Ask the company for customer references

  • Ask if the company provides any guarantee for the repair

  • Determine the provider’s level of experience

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn’t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there’s a problem with your drain field. Repairing a drain field costs an average of $2,000 to $15,000.

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

Getting well water tested costs $100 to $350 if done by a pro. You can also buy DIY test kits for $20 to $100, but professional tests are more reliable. You can get a comprehensive well inspection, which includes advanced water testing, for $700 to $750, which you should do yearly anyway.
