"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."

"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.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to drill a well by hand, but it calls for a good deal of physical labor. Drilling a well by hand is best suited for softer soil, and it may not be possible through rockier terrain. For wider and deeper holes, companies with professional equipment make the job much easier.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

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 home wells start at 100 feet, and many go as deep as 200 or 300 feet. 

It takes quite a lot of water to meet the demands of showers, toilets, faucets, and appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines, and shallow wells struggle to provide this amount quickly. If you anticipate having high water usage in the future, it’s often better to drill slightly deeper and give yourself a bit more water storage than you need.

The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.

For example:

  • If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.

  • If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.

Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.
