"We used Bowen Septic for the first time in 2014 after buying our house and finding out the septic tank was in bad shape. Bowen came out immediately and provided a thorough assessment and quote before beginning work. Since then, we have used them for routine maintenance. The team who services the tank are always courteous and prompt, calling before they arrive so we can be ready. We've had no issues since their repairs and routine maintenance."

"I found this Soto my county's environmental services list, and I'm so glad I did. The provided same-day service, which was incredibly convenient. I even received the nicest compliment - they told me my septic tank was the cleanest one they ever pumped. The team was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be referring team to others. Thank you!"

"Purchased this house a few years ago. Appeared tank had not been pumped in 8-10 years, and as holiday was approaching with company coming and downstairs toilet being temperamental about flushing, decided it might be a good idea to go ahead and get the task done even though I was afraid there could be other more expensive issues. Matthew and sons arrived as scheduled, calling before heading my way, and arrived promptly. Got there, located tank and got the job done in less than an hour. He also gave me more information about the tank, repair information previous owner(s) had not left any record of, and what could happen in the future to be aware of between now and next pumping. Advised me of other things I could do but did not pressure or try to upsell. Gave good advice, and I felt better about the system overall after his evaluation of it. Would definitely use them again next time, which hopefully will not be for another several years. Be prepared, however, to have plenty of straw on hand to cover up dirt/mud that digging up tank leaves behind."

"They scheduled me early in a.m. and showed up ahead of time. The 2-man crew finished what a previous company said they had done, but only did minimum hoping to sell me a very costly replacement system. Drain field needed cleaning (enzymes) and roots removed from opening. They finished in about 2 hours and explained each process as necessary. I will definitely use Simply Septic Services again and have no qualms in recommending them to others in this subdivision. Additionally they"

"Very professional. They were on time, thoroughly explained what needed to be done and going beyond the scope of the job, as well as doing an awesome outdoor cleanup (saving me from having to deal with it), which no other company has done before, in my 32 years of septic experience. They also have finance options, if needed, for major repairs. I highly recommend Ernie."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don’t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

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.
