"Called yesterday to set up appointment for an estimate on a couple things I needed done. One was to put a water shut off valve somewhere that I didn't need to crawl under the house. The other I needed my toilet fixed. Brent H came out yesterday, gave me an estimate and installed a water shutoff valve and fixed my toilet. Brent was very professional and so fast I was amazed he finished so quickly. Perfect plumbing and heating is amazing and so is Brent!"

"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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.
