"We recently purchased our Townhouse and it required some plumbing repairs. As we are new to the area, we didn't know any plumbers. So I took a long shot and used Angie's List which provided Drain Pro Services. I couldn't be any happier with the service, professionalism and timeliness of Patrick. He showed up at the time specified, replaced a toilet and sump pump and provided some additional plumbing repairs. His fee was more than fair and reasonable and he was respectful of our house used "booties" and totally cleaned up after himself. His magnetic business card is on my refrigeratior and I'm a Drain Pro Service customer for life!"

"Our a/c unit had caught had caught on fire and it was 1000 degrees outside and it was sparking. We interviewed 3 people. They took the time to sit down and tell us what they were going to do. The price was so reasonable! They replaced the entire outside air conditioning unit plus the heating unit inside.

Then we had the vents cleaned in the house, because they were so messed up. They did such a phenomenal job that we had our hot water heater tank replaced by them. Our house is so much more warmer in the Winter and so much more colder in the Summer. 

It was a significant amount of money, but it was such a better price than the other. It was needed, but also just the way the man presented himself when he did his presentation. He was really, really good and he had been with the company a long time. He was older and knowledgeable. We trusted what he said and we like what he said and the timeframe he could do it in. He came in and he did it in that time. 

The quality product that we got was worth every penny that we paid and we have never had an issue with it. We got an appointment right away. They were great! We would have them come and do anything again! They taught us how to change our own filters. "

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

Choosing a reliable septic tank company starts by finding an experienced company in your area with positive customer reviews online. You can also use the following tips to help ensure you have a positive experience:

  • Choose a company that is licensed and fully insured

  • Ask the company for customer references

  • Ask if the company provides any guarantee for the repair

  • Determine the provider’s level of experience

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.

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.

Call a dedicated well and pump professional to install your new well pump. In some cases, plumbers may have the experience needed for the installation, but it’s always better to go with a specialized pro. Well and pump contractors have hundreds of hours of experience with all different types of wells and pumps.
