"They were hired initially to repair the drain field. Shortly thereafter, we discovered I needed a new tank. I don't think a new tank should have cost me $2,500 but at that point into the project, you really have no choice. After checking around, most places sell a new tank between $900-1500. Also, the extra dirt that was not used to refill the holes was left in the center of my yard along with the brick/cinder blocks from the old septic system. He did level off the mound of dirt however, it was a 5 inch mound approximately 10 ft. in diameter in the middle of my yard. I have now been shoveling dirt to try and spread it out evenly over my yard, as well as, removing the old debris. So far, the septic system is still working"

"I specified that it was a tankless water heater, yet not surprisingly I was referred to a plumber who didn't know anything about tankless heaters, resulting in a waste of a couple of days. The second person did know about them, and so far the repair is working (fingers crossed). I wish CHW would pay attention to the details in my claim."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

It only takes a few days for a septic tank to fill with water after a pro has pumped it. This is completely normal, and the water is a vital part of your septic system’s wastewater treatment process. The water that fills your tank days after pumping is not the same as the tank being filled with waste. You shouldn’t have to pump your septic system more than once every three to five years unless you have a tank that’s too small for your home’s water output or there’s a problem with your leach field. 

On average, septic systems last between 15 and 20 years. However, with proper care and routine septic maintenance, you may be able to extend your septic system’s life span to 30 years (or more). Some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape include scheduling a professional inspection every two to five years and reducing the flow of wastewater into your system.

You may notice a septic smell in your yard after it rains if groundwater is entering your septic tank and causing it to overflow. If you experience septic odors after rainfall, contact a licensed plumber. They can construct a drain to redirect rainwater away from your septic tank. 

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

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.
