"My toilet started backing up into my bathtub, I called Anytime Septic Solutions and spoke with Larry. Larry seemed very concerned about my problem. It was after business hours, therefore, it would have been considered an emergency if he sent a truck out. He told me he could sent a truck out the next morning, but he would stop by on his way home to assess the problem, which he did not have to do and for which I am very grateful. Jare called me the next morning and said he would be there at 8:45 AM, and Jare was there at 8:45 AM. Jare showed and explained how the problem occurred. Larry and Jare both told me how to prevent it in the future. They were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and went over and above my expectations. This is now the only company I will use for my septic tank. I would highly recommend this company."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Drain fields often include three to five trenches that are 18 to 24 inches deep. The pipes connecting the drain field to the septic tank will be placed between 12 and 18 inches deep, and the field as a whole will be about 100 feet long.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.
