"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"

"Patrick was able to correct all of my problems.  He was quick, provided excellent work, explained to me what he was doing and showed me what he discovered.  Once he found the fracture in the toilet, he was able to order and install the new toilet the next day.  He gave me a fair price on the toilet and labor and even replaced some of the connecting plumbing.  I am more than happy with his work and would recommend his service to anyone needing plumbing work.  He recommended eventually replacing my other two toilets and recommended which to replace first.  I appreciate his work, professionalism and efficiency.  I will definitely use him for the replacements and any other plumbing needs that I have.

"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

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

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.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

Ensuring you have adequate space for your engineered septic system is crucial. You’ll need to reserve approximately 900 square feet for a three-bedroom home’s system. However, the type of soil you have, soil absorption rate, the size of your home, climate, and local zoning code will impact the actual amount of space you need.

There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.
