"We hired the Dirt Brothers to do a full septic and drain field replacement at our residence. They were the best price and went above and beyond in their customer service and product delivery. This two man team were wonderful to work with and did everything they could to make this unfortunate situation better for us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else needing septic and excavating work"

"The guys who work with Idaho Septic are top notch. I initially got my 47 year old tank pumped. The pump truck operator is a part owner of the overall company. He and his youngest son were running the truck. They had to go down over three feet to get to the lid. After the pumpoup, he showed me where a large boulder had pushed up through the center of the floor of the tank. Pretty obvious it was a LARGE rock. He let me know his sons ran the overall company and told me about the next steps. I got in touch with them and they felt it would be a complete drain field replacement as well. We got a central district health inspector out who advised me that I COULD do the drain field but she would recommend seeing what the tank replacement came up with. They dug the new tank and scoped the distribution box and roots had completely jammed two of the original 3 inch pipes. I checked them with a crowbar later and I could barely get the crowbar in two feet. We went with the new drain field, and they engineeered it with an eye to replacing it a second time later on--they left room to dig another one. I thought that was definitely forward thinking. My ground was harder than a seven year prison sentence. It took a couple of hours to dig the test hole. The inspector approved it and I went in the queue. They took a while to get me done. Something like October to December it sat with the new tank in place but the old tank still connected. This was not a big issue for me--I don't have little kids and i was sick with Covid anyway. They kept in decent touch with me to let me know what was going on. By December, they got out there and started digging the two trenches to replace the drain field. It took them about a week total to get it all dug, inspected installed, inspected and covered. It was complete by 23 December. It was a long project, but remember, i was not in a hurry. It helped me collect enough cash to pay them. at the end. the one thing I would say that could have been done better is they could have alerted me two days before they got here to dig like I asked. I was working at home and they showed up with the first trackhoe. I had to do a little rearranging of work so I could get things open for them. Otherwise they were awesome to work with. My dogs loved the father son team who ran the equipment (another father son team). When I would let the dogs out to take a leak, they would run over and get loved on. Not that my dogs are antisocial. It was just good to see. Final thing...There was an incident--the neighbor had hired a dump trailer driver to move some dirt for her. At some point, my OTHER neighbor's mailbox got knocked over. The dump trailer driver made a big deal out of how it was not him and it must have been the guys on the equipment. They just quietly explained it wasn't them. I looked it over adn my sister reported seeing a white delivery truck miss a turn -- the damage was consistent with a white truck not two black vehicles. It did not matter, because the guys dug and poured and set the mailbox back with a new post. For free. I can amke a court case it wasn't THEIR fault, but they did it to help. So yeah--the price was tough to take. But I got an entirely new septic system for under 20 large. I think it was a pretty good deal. STRONGLY RECOMMEND. WOULD USE AGAIN! Five and a half stars."

"Ryan and the crew were awesome to work deal with and came out quickly to give us an estimate on our septic issue. They were instrumental in helping expedite the permit process, so we could have the job completed asap. They worked quickly and were very polite and thorough while replacing the septic & drainfield the very next day. Prices seemed very reasonable and we would recommend them to anyone! We so appreciated all their helpfulness."

"Eric was great to work with! He delivered the large amount of pea gravel for our backyard landscape project and did a very professional job of clearing the area, laying the weed block and spreading the pea gravel exactly as we wanted it. Will hire him again and definitely recommend Santacruz Dirt Works!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

The easiest thing you can do to prolong the life of your septic system is to adopt septic-safe practices. This includes not flushing non-biodegradable items, chemicals, or excessive grease down drains and scheduling regular septic tank pumping to prevent buildup. It’s also important to fix plumbing leaks promptly and to practice water conservation to avoid overloading the system. To maintain your drain field, avoid heavy vehicle traffic and plant shallow-rooted vegetation in the area. Most importantly, invest in routine inspections and maintenance to detect and address issues early.

There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.

Yes, a septic tank riser can replace a concrete septic tank lid. Risers are designed to replace various types of septic tank covers, including concrete, metal, and fiberglass, to provide easier access for pumping and repairs. While a plastic riser makes future access more convenient, the initial replacement can be difficult because concrete lids are very heavy, so it is a job best left to professionals. Once installed, you will need to be cautious around the riser during yard work, such as mowing, to avoid causing damage.

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.
