"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

Options include submersible, jet, and centrifugal pumps. Choose based on water needs and well depth.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

Age is certainly a factor in well pump failure. The older your pump, the more likely it is to fail. 

Beyond age, other factors can cause your well pump to fail, too. Things like poor water quality can cause sediment buildup in your pump. Without proper cleaning, your pump can seize up and fail. Having a dry well for too long can also cause your pump to fail, as it keeps working even though there's no water for it to pull. 

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.
