"I was given a very reasonable price for the pumping of my 1500 gallon septic tank, after my last septic guy increased his price by quite a bit. They were very professional and flexible with scheduling, which was fantastic. Saul came out on a Saturday, and even cleared out the foliage over my septic tank lid without charge. I will be using them again in the future for sure."

"DDC was hired to clear and grade a building site. Exceeded my expectations. Was on time and done before schedule. After building was erected the team was back to finish grade, seed and straw, and repair rock lane. Would and have recommended DDC for any earth moving job."

"Excellent response. Pipe disconnect found immediately. Just needed gluing. The technician quickly explained and stated cost would be $89.00. I was SO relieved and happy. This company (unlike last one used which Angie's List rated as #1) included dispatch fee in price since repair was done during 1st visit. No hidden costs. No lies @ discounts."

"Bucky is the absolute best! I called a few other businesses to install my septic tank but he was by far the most professional, prompt, and genuine that I could find out there. As a bonus, he was very reasonable on price also! On a scale of 1 to 5, this man is a 10! Thanks again for the Yeoman's work!"

"Nathan was awesome to work with. I hired him to just certify my septic system on a new home that I bought, instead I had to have my whole septic moved and replaced! He did it in a timely fashion as much as he could with Inspections and rain delays. Good thing I didnt move in the house yet. I will definitely recommend Eagle and Son Septic Services."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

The size of your water well pressure tank is limited only by your budget and the amount of space you have to use. Larger tanks can hold more water, meaning your well pump will need to cycle less often. This can extend the life of both the pressure tank and your well pump. Larger tanks cost more and take up more room, though.

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.

Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it’s generally safe for septic systems. It won’t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.
