"Discovered a hole in the yard near septic tank when it was time for the tank to be pumped. Bowen's pumped the septic tank and diagnosed a collapsed outlet pipe as the problem. I received a no-pressure quote for the repair. Bowen's returned about a week later and completed the repair. The price I was quoted, was the price paid. There were no surprise charges and the work was done quickly. Gabe and David arrived timely both times and were courteous and efficient."

"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."

"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

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

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 properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Getting well water tested costs $100 to $350 if done by a pro. You can also buy DIY test kits for $20 to $100, but professional tests are more reliable. You can get a comprehensive well inspection, which includes advanced water testing, for $700 to $750, which you should do yearly anyway.

The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to well water versus city water, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.
