"Replaced leech field- he did an excellent job removing my old leech field and replacing it with a better system. From the time I entered the job in homeadvisor (approx 8am) I was called back before noon. We scheduled a site review later that day. From the time I selected Roadway, there was constant progress. Even when the permits were in progress, they were in constant contact to let me know what was going on. When the permits were in order, they worked nonstop until the job was done.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

The smallest septic system available includes a 750-gallon septic tank. On average, the cost to install a small septic system is between $2,910 and $13,900. However, you’ll want to check if a system of this size is legal in your area since many places require tanks to have a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage. 

You should pump your septic tank once every two to four years for a family of four, depending on your septic tank size. You should pump a 1,000-gallon septic tank every two years, while a 1,500-gallon tank should be pumped every four years. Water usage also affects how often you should pump your septic tank. If you notice slow drains, foul smells, or gurgling sounds from your drains, you should pump your septic tank as soon as possible.

A well pressure tank can last up to 15 years. However, how long your well pressure tank lasts depends on a few factors. If you have an appropriately sized tank from a high-quality brand, it’s more likely to last longer. Maintaining clean well water also helps since there won’t be sediment mucking up the works. Keeping to a maintenance schedule ensures that you catch minor repairs before they turn into big problems that require a complete tank replacement.
