"Everything was fine. Responsive to texts/calls, flexible with times and unexpected need to reschedule. Friendly , knowledgeable and answered the questions I had. Other than the price ( $350 for a 1500 gal tank) which seemed a bit steep, I’d use them again. Granted, it’s been several years since last clean out, so like everything else, I suppose the rates have gone up"

"Andrew did a great job fixed my upstairs toilet, had other plumbers try to figure out why the toilet wouldn't drain, Andrew used a camera in the main drain and found the problem. Awesome job, we are all set with the toilet and he checked the whole house for any other issues. We will use Andrew in the future, we highly recommend his services."

"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."

"Barrows Contracting did an exceptional job on a complete replacement of our existing septic system. Glenn and his team were extremely professional and considerate throughout the process. They had a tight area to work in and they were able to take down a large tree and preserve a stone wall saving us time and money. They ran into ledge when installing the new larger tank. No problem, they were able to split the ledge and remove it the next day. The finished yard grading looks better than before the project started. They were on time and on budget, true to their estimate. This is a large ticket project and I would highly recommend Barrows Contracting for any septic repair or replacement needs. I like that they are a locally owned family business."

"After a phone call with a representative that called me and discussion of the work I was looking for, and mentioning a number of times the work involved a site visit was scheduled. When the service person came to do an onsite evaluation, I was told: 'we don't do oil tank removals and installs.' Representative was obviously not trained for what I had requested during our phone conversation and that Nicholson Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electrical didn't do this service or wasn't informed of it during training."

"My existing toilet was a pressure assist type and needs a high level of water pressure to work properly.  I had a water pressure tank installed 20 years ago to help overall and for this toilet.  The tank  that I have had stopped working.  Peter came over and tried to fix that tank but determined that it was not repairable.  The water pressure has improved in Bellingham since I installed this tank and it is no longer needed.  We then decided that the easiest and cheapest way to solve my problem is to simply install a new toilet.  Peter gave me some advice on what toilets to look for and we scheduled a time for him to come back out and install the new toilet.  
He arrived a little early for the installation and it took him and his assistant about 45 minutes to remove tho old toilet and install the new one.  They were very professional and worked quickly.  When they were finished they left the place very clean; you wouldn't know they had been there. 
I would recommend them and I would use them again.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can’t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren’t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.

Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.
