"Hired Pohlman to evaluate two natural gas tank water heaters in our home, one of which was unoperational. They suggested combi-boiler for our home in lieu of two tank water heaters. They did a great job and we are very pleased. Customer service is top notch, and I highly recommend Pohlman Plumbing."

"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."

"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

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.

Neither system is necessarily better or worse than the other, but one of the two might be better for your needs. For example, anaerobic systems are less expensive than aerobic ones and don’t use power to run. On the other hand, aerobic septic systems don’t take up as much space and are typically more efficient than their anaerobic counterparts.

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.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.

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.
