"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."

"Mariano (spelled phonetically) contacted me right away. He diagnosed my issue over the phone and quoted a price. We scheduled a time for him to come out same day, arrived before appointment time, and removed/installed new sump pump (we purchased the sump pump before his arrival). He completed the work in the same day in a timely fashion and we paid as quoted. Thank you."

"Mr Washington personally examined my old concrete driveway, measured its size, calculated the price estimate based on the square foot area of the project, and provided a senior discount. He described the work in detail. He answered questions by email. He came with two workers on schedule to break up the old concrete driveway and haul away the pieces. The next day the same group graded the base of the driveway, placed a wood frame around the edge of the driveway, and directed the concrete pour from a sub-contractor's cement mixer truck, The first three workers spread the concrete while a fourth worker flattened the concrete to the top of the frame. The surface of the concrete became level near the garage and had a gentle slope to the bottom of the driveway. The next day, Washington Boyz cleaned up to lawn, removed the wood frame, and put down some topsoil and grass seeds next to the new concrete. Since the sub-contractor cement mixer operator dumped some excess cargo on the lawn after the cement was poured for the driveway, Washington Boyz had to break up the dried concrete from the lawn and clean up the pieces. Before they left, I was told not to use the new driveway for at least one more day to let the concrete cure and they put yellow tape over the bottom of the driveway to keep the driveway from being used. The final price was the same as the estimate and I was very pleased with the work that was done."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. 

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.
