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."

"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.

"Jason is a busy guy, but was very attentive to problems we had with our well pump and pressure tank. These were replaced as well as installing an under sink reverse osmosis system. Yes, I would recommend Sunrise Plumbing for your plumbing needs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

A cistern works by collecting rainwater from your gutters and downspouts and storing it in a holding tank. The holding tank can be installed above or below ground, and the size will depend on your household needs. The stored water can then be used for household tasks, watering your garden, and even for drinking water.

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.

Most professionals recommend that a deep well pump shouldn’t run more than 10 hours consecutively before cycling off. Overworking the well pump beyond the recommended amount can prematurely wear out your pump and burn out the motor, which means replacing it more often than you otherwise should need to. Your well pump should also come with the manufacturer’s use and maintenance recommendations that are specific to the model.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.
