"Thank goodness for Mastero Edgar, his family and Crew! It was a dark and stormy night in Feb 2021, icy yard and flooded basement. We had cleared our septic tank 3 months prior and the basement flooded with clean water! We had hired a plumbing company 2 nights in a row...no clear answers despite hours of work!! Then I reached Angie.. Mr. Edgars daughter , Mr. Edgar overheard me, and spoke to me at 8:45 pm... on a Saturday night !!!! He did not have to... but he did. He found the problem....the following day I watched the most synchronized orchestra by the team ! Still mesmerized by the way the work was carried out! I work in health care, I am a business woman and I love classical music! Let me tell you all, their work is innovative! My husband and I live in peace after those 3 agonizing days... knowing that there are angles out there and then there is Mastero Edgar, his family and crew! Clean, professional, affordable. Mr. Edgar, thanks again for the reminder to “go an extra mile” when I care for my clients! Regards, Grace Paul. Rockville, MD"

"Very professional from beginning to end. The consultation was informative, he was very thorough in explaining technique and required equipment for my project. The job was well orchestrated; he contracted other companies that removed the old boiler and oil tank, each company was wonderful; conscience of my property (no damage), friendly and efficient. Amazing designed my heating system and it is truly a work or art. The location of the boiler, lines for gas, water- they were compacted into an area that allowed access and extra space for personal effects. Amazing, the company is named right!!! Highly recommend"

"**To everyone** This is the plumber you want to call !!! Typical FANTASTIC service call from "Knock You Plumb Out Plumbing". Our family was dead in the water, plumbing wise. We could not flush a toilet. Water was rising everywhere and all drains were gurgling. John Harris (owner), and a 2-man crew arrived 30 minutes after I sent a "Help!" E-mail to him. I could not believe he got to my home so quickly. John and his crew went to work diagnosing the problem. John started removing the plug on one end of my sewer system and found that my entire sewer system was under tremendous pressure due to all of the plunging I was doing. Before he started taking any more pipes apart in the basement, he asked if I had a septic system. I told him that I did and he said that my septic tank was probably full. John went out back, took the lid off of my septic system and found that the tank was almost completely full! Thanks to John, I then knew what the problem was and it was an easy fix. I had a septic cleaning company come out within a couple hours, and my house was back to normal. Thanks again John. This was the second time in 3 months he helped me out and I could not be happier. This guy is my only plumber?forever!

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.

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.

Septic drain fields should be at least 10 feet from the property line, though exact requirements vary by location. Some areas may require further distances, such as 25 feet or more, depending on soil conditions and local health regulations. This extension ensures proper wastewater absorption and prevents contamination of neighboring homes.
