"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.

Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

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.

The main difference between a mound septic system and a conventional one is that the drain field in a mound system is built up into a mound composed of sand and gravel to increase the filtration time the wastewater sees before it is returned to the aquifer. There’s also a significant cost difference, with mound systems typically costing far more than standard septic systems.
