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

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.

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. 

Wells typically replenish at a rate of about five gallons per minute, but several variables can influence how quickly they refill. A deep well will take more time to replenish than a shallow one. The replenishment rate can be slowed by issues such as leaks, damage, a faulty well pump, or a clogged well screen. Other factors, such as the surrounding geology, regular precipitation, and proper maintenance, also affect the recovery rate.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.

Well water is often assumed to be hard because of its high mineral content. Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes and appliances. You can manage hard water by installing a whole-house filter system. These systems can help extend the life of your water-reliant appliances like your hot water tank and dishwasher.
