"This is my second review for Brag's, and owner Tyler. My first review was about his responsiveness and help with diagnosis of our problem, and the process to resolve. Since we were at the start of our cold season, the remedy needed to wait until the frost had gone. We were able to have the inspection and plan made in the fall, and were ready to roll come spring of this year. Our need was for a new Leach Field for our 200 year old house. With the time that we had over the winter season, I asked a dozen service providers for a quotation for the project. Tyler was the first of only 3 to respond. This was in February, when I expected many to be lining up work for the springtime. Tyler's quote was as complete as any, and very competitive. In fact, his was the low bid. We made a plan and were off and running, as soon as the snow was gone and roads were clear for heavy traffic. The first day the excavator arrived and work commenced. Tyler and John worked long hours for 5 days, and with our town inspector's oversight completed our project 1 day early. They even helped with installing a filter in our Septic Tank, and installed a new Pump Station pump. Everything's fresh and new. Toilets flush. Mission accomplished! Brag's Sewer and Septic is my strong recommendation to anyone needing this kind of work. Tyler and his crew have an excellent work ethic, which is rare these days. They work hard and strive to do it right. And they're pleasant to be around. All in all it was a great experience here. Thanks Tyler. 5 Stars, plus an extra for good measure. You earned it! Pat"

"We were extremely pleased with the professionalism and the end result of the Minor Bros. team who re-did our leach field. They answered all of our questions up-front, showed up on time and completed the job just as described on time and on budget and with care that our yard looked great after completion. We highly recommend this company without hesitation."

"Vincent did an awesome job. He was unable to do the jab as originally planned, suggested work arounds which worked out perfectly. He is a very talented plumbing contractor, and you would not regret having him do your renovations or repairs"

"D&D was quick to call us back, to walk the site and give us a quote, they started the job earlier than they thought they could, and worked all day/ every day to finish the job. The yard was raked, leveled, and seeded . Dustin is a knowledgeable professional, we couldn't be happier with the install. We were so pleased with his work that we hired him to do some extra grading for us."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.

Yes, septic tank companies must be licensed in most states and municipalities to perform services like installation, alteration, repair, and pumping. Since laws vary by location, it's crucial to check local requirements.

Hiring an unlicensed professional can lead to poor work, code violations, and significant fines. Always verify that your chosen company is properly licensed and fully insured to avoid liability. You can use tools like Angi’s contractor licensing search to check a pro's credentials.

It's also helpful to understand the difference between licensing and certification. A license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are voluntary. Credentials like the “Angi Approved” badge indicate that a business meets extra standards, such as passing a background check and maintaining a high rating.
