"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!"

"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."

"I contacted Peter because I was concerned about my hot water heater. It was close to 16 years old and I knew I was living on borrow time. Peter outlined all of my options for replacement heaters including reimbursements from MassSave and addressed the concerns I had about some of the options. In the end, I had him install the electric heater. Peter does great work and is more responsive than anyone I have met on Angie's List. I would recommend him to anyone."

"A previous plumber couldn't stop a seeping leak between the toilet bowl & the tank after three new gaskets. Called V&G Plumbing, they came on time, worked efficiently using the correct gasket for my model toilet & the leak is fixed! They have the knowledge, reasonable prices, are reliable & now have my future business. Happy to recommend them if you want the job done right the first time."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

If you’re going away on vacation or leaving your home for a long time, it’s a good idea to switch off your well pump and pressure tank before you go. This way you can prevent any damage from unexpected leaks that may occur or unforeseen electrical issues while you’re away.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.
