"The service was excellent, they were out here doing the work before other companies could even get out here for a quote. Very knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. The price seemed a bit high for the actual work that was done, but very happy to have the septic system working properly again. Would highly recommend ACME to anyone who needs this type of work to be done."

"This family owned and operated company went way beyond what customer service and expertise I had expected to replace my old failed septic tank. They explained all steps they needed to bring my old system up to code. They stayed in contact with me almost daily and took pictures when I was unavailable to be home and see their progress! They even leveled my sloping backyard to make it more aesthetically pleasing and replanted all the grassy areas. After comparing many companies costs, and type of system I'd need for this service, i am very pleased with the quote LED presented to me, the work time to complete the job, and the final results! Thank you LED team! It's nice to see that a true honest work ethic is still in vogue! Thanks Derek and Dad! You all did a great job! I'd highly recommend!"

"Knox Sewer & Septic is truly a family owned business. No sub contractors. We found this company through word of mouth. We worked with Jim (owner), brothers Jeff & Darrell & son Ethan. Honest, good people, which is hard to find these days. When we called Jim Knox, he was there the next day to check out our failed septic system. Our system needed a perimeter drain & Presby sand mound septic system due to our saturated water table. We now have a new septic system working efficiently & no water standing in our back yard. They did a great job, very trustworthy. Jim & his crew work with the customer & answers any questions you might have. Thank you for your expertise & we learned a lot. We would recommend Knox Sewer & Septic A +. They go the extra mile."

"It's a really good company. They had to dig the yard and break the sidewalk. They took care of the problem so that we could use the toilet and avoided having anything back up in the basement. They did the work in the middle of winter. The plumber's wife came along with him. She and I had coffee as well as a conversation while the plumber and the workers did the work. She then told me that her husband has a college degree working with animals. Since there wasn't much scope in the field of animal husbandry, he got into the excavation work. The price charged for the work was very fair. We had received 4 estimates from different companies. Their estimate was the best estimate compared to the others. The most expensive estimate was about $ 6000 more than what Rishel Excavating had quoted. The plumber said that he didn't believe in charging a huge sum of money. He said that he made a decent profit. He was recommended to us by a guy from the gas company. They were very nice and repaired the sidewalk by putting in new cement. They had to come back to put the new cement, as the ground wasn't quite as cold. They also barricaded the place so that others wouldn't walk over the cement. They were calm and sensible people. I really appreciated them and they were down to earth people. They were good at heart too. They got the job done for less than $ 3000 and we had been told that the job wouldn't be done for less than $ 6000 to $ 9000. We had pipes that were very deep. They also told us that once they open the pipes they would inform us if it was going to cost more money. The plumber said that he was fair with his employees as well as his customers when I asked him as to why he charged so less compared to other companies. He also has employees who have been working for him for many years. They were people who you would never mind having in your house and serving a cup of coffee, but they never took advantage of it. They even called in this summer to find out if we liked the new piping that they had put in. They also asked if the grass was growing properly which really surprised me. They were honest and were easy to talk to. We had a good experience with them. We would use their services in the future too and we wouldn't use anybody else other than them."

"The plumber said my backed up pipes were from the septic system needing to be cleaned. Called Max Haas Company and they were able to get someone out the same day. They dug down to the tank top and cleaned the tank. Unfortunately, that didn't solve my plumbing problem but their service was excellent. Would definitely use them again.

"The master plumber and owner of the company, Chris, was the one who came out. His job was to reset the toilets and hook up the water line and draining system once the sink was installed. The previous company I had out, Bedell plumbing, had repaired a copper pipe incorrectly and used a shortcut to make a quick fix. Instead of sautering it, he installed a cufflink, like a bandage. I didn't realize this at the time. Chris showed up 8:30-9 pm, on his own time, to my house and told me that the other company had messed up and it was eating him up. He came in and brought his own material, reaplced the copper pipe, sautered the pipe, giving me a permanent fix. He is extremely honest. He didn't even ask for money for the project. He said that it was the right thing to do. I was really moved by his kindness and how he looked out for my mother. It wasn't even part of the insurance claim and he donated his time and materials for this fix. I was also looking for a way to remove the copper piping corrosion, and he gifted me a box of Sand Cloth, which took care of it. He used only premium products. I can really trust this company. His wife, Cindy, told me that they don't own the company, God owns the company. We would never have known about this company with the contractor. I'm so thankful that we had him. The contractor is the one who knows all the good companies. The company works late, as well, which is convenient for homeowners, so that they don't have to make a trip home for the plumber.

"We were having low water pressure so we called J & C well and drilling to come and check it out. They came out on a Saturday and gave us a quote. He came back out on Monday and replaced the well pump.  Our well is hard to get to so it was not an easy job. We also had a leak in our tank so we had him replace it. He did a great job! Very professional and kind! If we  need a plumber we would call him again!

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Yes. Amongst the four most common types of septic tanks—plastic, fiberglass, concrete, and steel—those made of concrete are the most expensive. This is the case for a few reasons, including the fact that they’re very heavy, so pros have to use specialized equipment to install them. However, they’re also incredibly durable, making the price worth it if it’s in your budget.

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

Most home wells start at 100 feet, and many go as deep as 200 or 300 feet. 

It takes quite a lot of water to meet the demands of showers, toilets, faucets, and appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines, and shallow wells struggle to provide this amount quickly. If you anticipate having high water usage in the future, it’s often better to drill slightly deeper and give yourself a bit more water storage than you need.

Most shallow residential wells are somewhere between 25 and 50 feet deep. They are among the simplest well systems. Deeper wells usually involve drilling to a much greater depth. Water wells for household use are typically 100 to 500 feet deep, depending on local groundwater conditions. Some may be up to 1,000 feet deep or more. 

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.
