"We needed a completely re-engineered septic system at our house in Wales, and Ron helped us with every aspect of the project. From his initial recommendation of an engineer who custom designed our system, to the installation of our holding tank, pump tank, and leaching field, Ron exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Ronâ s crew was courteous and professional, his pricing was fair, and I am confident recommending him to my friends and neighbors!"

"David and his team were professional, hardworking and knew exactly what they were doing to get the job done with precision. David went out of his way to try to save us money on a replacement waterline installation and curb stop (water shutoff valve near street) repair at our home. He also recommended a very good plumber to complete the interior plumbing connection. He explained the steps to complete the job and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. He gave us peace of mind. He and his team worked sun up to sundown in below freezing temperatures the day of installation to ensure we had running water before they left. We highly recommend David and his team as they were reliable, trustworthy, skilled and knowledgeable."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Many variables, such as home size, type of engineered system, the material used, soil conditions, and water usage, dictate how long your system will last. On average, most homeowners find that their system lasts 15 to 20 years, though it’s not unheard of for them to last up to 40 years with annual and preventative septic maintenance.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.

Buying a well drilling kit will save you money over hiring a professional. That said, digging a well is risky. If you make an error, you may have to get help fixing it. Also, the DIY costs are still pretty hefty when considering everything needed to complete the project successfully. You’ll need to account for the permit, pump, water tank, and more. If you don’t feel comfortable taking the necessary precautions to tackle this on your own, go with a pro.
