"After finding my Septic Tank sewage back filling my shower (lowest point of drainage in house), I realized there was a blockage in the drainage system downstream, most likely in the Septic Tank Inlet. Per Murphy's Law, this event happened on Sunday, when most businesses are closed. Using Home Advisor, I selected 3 best choices for Septic Tank service, and called them all on Sunday, leaving a detail voice message for each. Bradford Raider Rooter was the only service to call back an Monday morning, and was able to dispatch a service truck Monday afternoon. The service tech quickly located and uncovered the Septic Tank Access Lid, and proceeded to vacuum out the overfull tank. I soon became readily apparent the my kids excessive use or toilet paper (2 rolls/day) had clogged the inlet, and the service tech removed the blockage. Then the service tech proceeded to clean and flush the tank thoroughly, and confirm that all plumbing in house was draining properly. In summary, Bradford Raider Rooter was responsive and provided timely service. The service tech was courteous, knowledgeable, and thorough."

"I called A Alligator frantically looking for a company to pump my tank (1 pm).  They were able to get me on the schedule for the early evening (they didnt even give me attitude when I kept calling back - patience is a virtue!)
Brandon came with the vac truck, located my septic tank (I didn't know exact location) popped the lid, discovered that it wasn't full but actually could use some repair.  He then cleaned out a blockage in our plumbing line which fixed the issue we were dealing with.  A quote was provided for additional work to get out tank up and running as it should be.  
they really helped me out and the service was comprehensive and the folks were friendly.

"Everything went very well.  I got a courtesy call before arrival letting me know that the guys were on the way.  The gentlemen that came were great.  They quickly found my septic tank and went to work.   Given were my septic tank is located, they had to cut away the plantings but did so only after asking me if that was OK.  They also put everything back after they were done and cleaned up after themselves.  They were done in about an hour.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

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.

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.
