Customers say: Super punctual

"They came as promised and cleaned out tanks that were full to the top. Good thing our toilets got clogged and that made us look into why. House is only 4 yrs old but I guess with 5 people here, things got backed up. They did a great job in cleaning septic."

"When ordering service, I was quoted $385 dollars. On arrival, we were told that our septic tank was very large therefore their disposal costs were more -the price jumped to $550. Needing the septic tank emptied we paid. The service itself was very good. I would have preferred on the initial call that the dispatcher asked specific questions about septic tank size for the quote."

"I would definitely recommend them.  We were out of town and came home and had a message from the water company we had a water leak.  I called them, found out it was our responsibility.  They came out the same day.  They could not locate the leak and recommended I contact a leak detection company and I did, but they put me on the schedule.  Even the leak detection company had issues.  For some reason, a landscaper decided to plant an oak tree less than 3 feet from our water line.
To make a long story short, I would definitely recommend them.  They had issues finding the leak, stopped work and told me what I needed to do.  After finding where the leak was, still has issues, but the owner made it right.  
I have no doubt in the future I will use them and have no  issues recommending them to others.  I am a grateful customer.  
Think about it, someone comes out the same day, has issues and recommends a good suggestion, you take their advice, and you have water, less than 2 daYS.

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. 

The efficacy of a drain field depends on a wide variety of factors, though a well-maintained one can last as long as 40 or 50 years. Of the different types of septic tanks on the market, concrete and plastic tanks tend to last the longest—upwards of 40 years if they’re pumped regularly—while steel tanks have a tendency to rust over time and may need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years.

While homeowners connected to a municipal sewer line still have to keep up with plumbing maintenance, the downside to a septic system is that all the maintenance falls on the homeowners. Not calling in a pro to pump the tank every few years or accidentally flushing or draining the wrong types of materials can quickly cause clogs, which can back up into drains around the home.

Most septic tanks need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years, but it’s a good idea to monitor the fill levels of your septic tank all the time. You can do this by installing a pressure level sensor to detect the internal tank pressure, or by having a septic tank company perform an annual inspection to let you know when you’ll need to pump the tank.
