"Within a few hours of submitting my search in Angie's List for a company to empty my septic tank, R&E Chief Septic called to schedule the appointment and provide me with the cost. I was surprised at the quick response and immediately set up an appointment. They were on time and quickly went to work. I will definitely use them from now on!"

"My septic tank was over flowing. The drain pipe was obstructed. I call my normal guy on Thursday no response. Friday came and went. Saturday, still no response. Went to Home Advisor and with in an hour Innovative called and gave me a time they would be there. They pumped the tank and cleared the drain pipe. I was expecting a major expense but they were just fifty dollars more than the regular guy - who still has not responded to voice messages left on his emergency number. I appreciated the quick response, the complete job, and a reasonable price. I will be using the company going forward. Exceptional customer service."

"I called Pohlman to replace my Gas water heater. I was very pleased with their service. They were very professional, came out on the same day, took the old tank with them and cleaned up well behind themselves, They finish the job in a timely manner and their price was fair. I would definitely hire them again."

"From start to finish a very positive experience! The work crew were very attentive to making sure my wife's native garden plants survived the onslaught of digging necessary to replace our home's water main. We are very satisfied customers and highly recommend BFMD if you need your water main repaired or replaced."

"Wow what the best experience I have had with a plumbing company ever. I needed some work done to my well and pump so I called redline. They responded within a quickly manner and were professional. I was there when they came to look at it and when they had to come to the work they came back and were very respectful and hard workers. Everything was done in a timely manner and trustworthy employees. I had to leave and left with them there and I felt that they were good and people I could trust in my house. I can’t thank you all enough. I’m very happy with the work and I appreciate it. I will call again when I need something done. If you need anything done plumbing these are your people to call!! Amazing thank you!!"

"The plumber was scheduled to come on 4/23 between 1:00 and 3:00p.m. At 1:00p.m. I got a call saying that the plumber would not be able to come until 4/24 as he was delayed at a previous call. He arrived promptly at 9:00a.m. the next morning. One toilet would not flush properly. He repaired that toilet. The other toilet ran on occasion. He replaced the fill valve. On occasion it still runs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don’t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.

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.

Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.
