"By Andrew v. Engineer Dave Schofield of Capstone displayed professionalism by turning a flawed design for our Sudbury septic system into one highly adaptive and functional. He was purposeful about doing the right thing even when not winning installation contract, execution of which he in in fact supervised. In a business which includes its share of uneven performers, Schofield’s competence is a stand-out."

"Don Morris is an amazing individual. I've been calling contractors for my septic system and for other work for weeks. He is the only one who consistently returns calls. Additionally, he is punctual and direct. He doesn't pull any punches. His pricing is amazing, and a very pleasant surprise. He and his crew showed up on the agreed upon date, and they went right to work. Within three days, they had everything finished, including delivery of a truckload of loam. I couldn't be happier with the work they did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DJ Morris to anyone.

"Dave at Clearwater Contracting is awesome. He is honest, communicates very well, and whatever he promises he delivers on. His work is of the highest quality. He is very talented, and did a great job fixing our septic tank, changing the bulkhead, and building a new patio. Dave has an eye for design, and made some great recommendations for the patio, and it came out looking great. I highly recommend him."

"At first it was suggested that the whole commode be replaced, but it was found out that the bowl was intact and that only the tank be replaced. This replacement was done and the new unit worked fine and nothing else was needed to be done. Great service, good workmanship and will recommend this company to others."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn’t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there’s a problem with your drain field. Repairing a drain field costs an average of $2,000 to $15,000.

Choosing a reliable septic tank company starts by finding an experienced company in your area with positive customer reviews online. You can also use the following tips to help ensure you have a positive experience:

  • Choose a company that is licensed and fully insured

  • Ask the company for customer references

  • Ask if the company provides any guarantee for the repair

  • Determine the provider’s level of experience

Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There’s some flexibility with this if you’d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your well tank’s general pressure setting.

The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings—going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.

Yes, a septic tank can get full. If this happens, you might run into issues flushing your toilets or draining your sinks. You may also notice your pipes making gurgling noises or the smell of sewage floating around your house. Other signs of a backed-up septic tank include water pooling or fresh, healthy grass growing above your drain field.
