"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"

"Austin and his crew arrived promptly when he said they would be here, and very quickly and carefully but gently did the work we had asked for. He had the right equipment to do the heavy work it required, and they cleaned up before they left when the job was finished."

"Ray & his team saved our sanity, pocketbook & potentially house. After HORRIBLE expensive experience with American Rooter & Drain, Ray swooped in to save the day. They completed clearing our main line fast, efficient & fair priced. We cannot say enough how grateful we are to have found him & his team. Do NOT hesitate to call Ray for all your sewer needs. We will be singing his praises for years & referring everyone in need of these services to Five Star Service Pros. He brags about having all five star reviewsâ ¦rightfully so Ray. Keep up being an awesome human being!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it’s generally safe for septic systems. It won’t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.

Yes, it is generally okay to oversize a well pressure tank, and it will not harm your well system. The primary advantage is that a larger tank reduces frequent pump cycling, leading to longer, slower cycles with fewer startups. This can result in less wear and tear, potentially increasing the lifespan of the pump and conserving energy. However, there are drawbacks to consider. Oversized tanks have a higher upfront cost and require more physical space. While not necessarily a bad thing, opting for a tank that is appropriately sized for your well is often the most efficient choice in terms of cost and space.

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.
