"We had an insane amount of rain one evening and noticed our yard by the septic was flooding. We had just moved in a few months beforehand and have never had a septic. So, we paniced! I called Shanksters that night around midnight once we started hearing strange gurglings from our sinks and toilets. The friendly operator assured me we would be fine until morning so we didn't have to pay extra for middle of the night emergency call. That was nice of her, we thought.
They arrived frst thing in the morning. Deduced we needed a new pump. So they pumpeed out tank to avoid any overflowing while the pump wasn't running. They told us they had a bunch of calls due to the rain, so they went to town to get apump and on a couple of more calls (fine with us..). They came back that afternoon and replaced the pump. I paid them and left. They left me the brochure for the pump, I was looking it over, and looked it up online. It was about $100. Pumping the septic was $300. Something smelled fishy and I felt I had overpaid for their services. So, I called them and said as much.  Also, stange gurugling was still happening. So, they came back out, and we found we had yet another septic tank. The guy apologised for the over pricing (I don't know if it was an accident or on purpose) and offered to pump our other tank out at no extra charge. I thought that sounded fair. I'm not against anybody making a profit, but that was just a bit much. I'm glad that I called and expressed my displeasure. They were all very nice. I would hire them again, but will definatly be aware of pricing next time!!

"Had the service line from our house to the septic (under the driveway) replaced as it had pulled away from the tank (which we later found was due to the original installer not doing it right). They removed the concrete, replaced the service line and replaced the concrete after. They came out quick for a quote, used a camera to inspect the line (which was nearly half of the cost of all other quotes to run a camera) and found the damaged pipe. Was put on their schedule quick (luckily they had an opening so soon) and they performed quality work. Communication was great from start to end. I can't say enough good things about this company. A+ Service"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.

Recognizing signs of a failing septic system is crucial to prevent costly damage and health hazards. Foul odors in and around your home, slow drainage in sinks and toilets, or gurgling noises in plumbing fixtures can indicate problems with drainage. Lush, green patches of grass near the drain field or wastewater pooling on the ground are alarming signs that may indicate a leak in the system. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's vital to address them promptly to avoid more extensive and expensive issues.

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.

A septic perc test is done by drilling a hole into the ground, filling the hole with water, and testing to see how long it drains. While simple, the test itself provides a great deal of information about your yard. The last thing you want to do is skip a perc test only to discover your yard doesn’t drain sewage effectively.

There are a few things that can make your drain field fail. These include driving or parking vehicles or heavy machinery on the field, excess sodium in the soil, or having a high water table. You can prevent failure by ensuring your installer checks that your chosen location is suitable for a drain field and properly maintaining your system with the help of a professional.
