"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."

"Excellent work. By Code gave me an estimate to remove and replace my 50 gallon water heater for $1454.00 on Saturday over the phone, then replaced it on Sunday the following day with 2 expert plumbers. They are best and most honest and efficient plumbers in Miami. I highly recommend them and will hire them again for all my plumbing needs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The average three to four-bedroom home typically uses a well pump rated for 8 to 12 gallons per minute (GPM). To find the most accurate size for your specific needs, a common rule of thumb is to count the number of water fixtures and appliances in your home and aim for that number in GPM. This calculation allows for about one gallon of water per minute per fixture. Because estimating the correct size can be challenging, it's best to have a professional technician make the final determination. A professional can ensure your pump provides sufficient water for your home, especially during peak usage hours.

A septic smell may be harmful because sewer gas is dangerous depending on the exposure amount and length of time. Sewer gas is made up of multiple gases, including hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Some of these gases, like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are toxic to humans and can be fatal in high concentrations or long exposures.

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.

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.

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.
