"I am only giving them 5 stars because this rating will not allow 10 stars. Wayne and his crew installed a new septic system in our new Warwick, RI home. Everyone was extremely professional and courteous. They answered questions along the way as they worked through the complicated permit process. All of the crew were super personable and responsive. They also helped me move dirt on a landscape project I was working on while they had the heavy equipment. Saved me a lot of shoveling."

"Showed up quickly performed the work they said they would do for the price. everything was straightforward and simple and they left us with a color video of the inside of my septic system which was super cool and well worth the $950 for the peace of mind of knowing what’s in the ground. ❤️❤️❤️"

"The septic tank had not been cleaned for over 10 years. Bill, from Flushaway Septic came within an hour and a half of my phone call. He explained what had to be done after opening up the septic tank and did the job promptly and neatly leaving the area perfectly clean. He charged $275 for a total pump out with lots of solid waste. He explained how to keep the tank clean and suggested a cleaning every 3 years. I highly recommend him to anyone needing this service."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

When your septic system is failing, you’ll probably smell it. Common signs of a septic system failure include sewage odors in the home or around the yard, flooding in the yard above the septic tank or in the leach field, and wastewater or even raw sewage backing up into your home’s drains.
