"The "technician/salesman" Eric could not replace a simple furnace motor. He said he couldn't find the motor number, but instead tried to sell me a new furnace. I told him no so he left. I spent a few minutes in the internet and found a motor at Grainger and replaced it myself. Hoffman charged me $95 for what was in reality a sales call."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don’t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.

Yes, shower water does go into the septic tank. In fact, all the water you use in your home goes into the septic tank. This includes water from sinks, the dishwasher, the washing machine, and toilets. This water is called greywater. It’s important never to put oil or harsh chemicals down any drain because they could cause a clog in your septic system or even disrupt the natural bacteria needed for wastewater management. 

A septic tank lasts 15 to 20 years on average. This life span will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. Clogging caused by plant roots or flooding from groundwater can decrease that life span. To avoid these issues, have a pro inspect your tank regularly and perform routine maintenance, such as pumping out the tank.

Provided your system is not damaged and you’re using it properly, a septic tank only needs to be pumped every three to five years. Find out who pumps septic tanks in your area, because this is not the kind of job you can DIY. Attempting to do so can put your health and that of your system at risk.
