"Mark and his team were beyond awesome. After the first pump just after Christmas, I continued to try leach field treatments and tricks but no luck. Mark and his team started work first week in March and had two prices, one with a standard drain field and the other with an overflow tank and pump. With current code and drainage requirements mine needed the additional tank and pump put in. The whole job takes about five days and that's with prep, clearing, installation and inspection. So, give yourself time and patience but don't think it will fix itself. Mark showed me an old drain line which was completely clogged with roots and although the others were clear, there was good soil to allow biomat drainage. Bottom line, these guy's know what they're doing and offer a great price compared to other contractors."

"Friendly, affordable, and efficient! Of the 3 companies I got estimates from they were the only ones who took the time to assess my property. They determined my property's water table, location of my and my neighbors wells. No one else bothered to do this. Based off of their assessment they suggested an above ground drain field and were the only ones to suggest that. Definitely glad I went with Gulf Coast Septic and I would definitely recommend them"

"Had issue with septic system, toilet not flushing and water backing up into downstairs shower. Called TPB on Monday they scheduled appointment for the next day. The pleasant technicians, Bill and Leo, called and arrived promptly. Pumped the tank (last clean out was 1.5 years earlier); mostly water. Bill, knowledgable and professional explained that the drain field was probably failing. The handle on the tank lid broke off and there was a chunk of concrete missing on the lip of the tank which allowed for sand/dirt and surface water to enter the tank as well. Bill recommended and installed a riser lid, sealing the broken tank lip and allowing easier access to tank. Very efficient and fair price. New drain field will be needed soon."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank with a 1,500-gallon capacity is good for larger homes with up to 6 or 7 bedrooms. The average home can go with a smaller tank, about 1,000 gallons, which supports a home size of up to 2,500 square feet, or a home with about three bedrooms.

There are a few signs that indicate a failing drain field. For instance, if your septic tank starts requiring more pumping than normal, your drain field might be failing. Other signs to watch for include poor drainage after rain, standing water or sewage over the septic system, a strong septic smell outside, new and healthy grass growing over the drain field, and plumbing backups in your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets.

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

To determine the right size for your submersible well pump, find your well depth, water demand, and well casing diameter. The pump should match your well's specifications and meet or exceed your drawdown and pressure requirements. 

For precise sizing, make sure to research the different well pump sizes, consult the manufacturer's recommendations, or seek guidance from a professional well pump installer.

Septic tanks appear full after pumping because the liquid levels have returned to normal. If you can see the pipe, the tank is empty. However, heavy rain can cause septic tanks to fill faster than normal. You might also have leaky pipes or faucets, causing extra water to drip down the drains and into the septic tank.
