"Marcus came over the day after I requested the quotes (quotes requested Sunday, he came Monday.) He assessed the situation and explained options and pricing. He very willingly attempted the lower cost option first, even though we had doubts it would work. He told if it did not work and we had to go to the higher cost option, I would only be charged for that, not both. We did have to go to that option and he was able to clear the clog from my sewer line. He then inspected with a camera and showed me that there were several roots intruding on the line. He recommended repeating the process with a nozzle designed to remove these. He did not have that on his truck, so another visit was scheduled for today with a different tech. This was also successful and it was clear from the camera inspection at the end that the roots were gone. I was expected a horrible mess from this process, and was very happy that both operations were completed with minimal additional sludge in my basement."

"Absolutely unbelievable service. They dropped what they were doing on a Saturday night to come out and fix our septic issue. They explained the issue and fix very clearly. Left the property looking great considering they had to dig into the septic tank. The responders were very friendly and took time to engage in conversation while still achieving their work in a very timely fashion. Not that I know much of the septic business, but the men seemed knowledgeable of their profession and again took time to explain the issue and fix in terms someone as myself could understand. They've definitely been added to our list of businesses for future contact!"

"Came when they said they would. Did the job efficiently and thoroughly, explained the probable cause and how to avoid it. Quote was half the amount the other service I contacted quoted as thier base fee ($170 vs $345) and that is what they charged."

"The owner of the company arrived as scheduled and was very professional and a really nice man to deal with. He assured me he would find the location of the access to our septic tank no matter what it may take. He.found it within 15 minutes and it was hidden under rip rap. When he came back to pump it out, he did an excellent job and replaced the rip rap. You wouldn't even know he had been here. I would recommend McAtee highly."

"We were very fortunate that they were able to come quickly and replace our nonfunctioning septic pump promptly. They were professional and easy to communicate with. Given the emergency nature of the project, we did not get other bids so we can't say whether the price was reasonable, but they were upfront about the cost and stuck to their original estimate."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

The average three to four-bedroom home typically uses a well pump rated for 8 to 12 gallons per minute (GPM). To find the most accurate size for your specific needs, a common rule of thumb is to count the number of water fixtures and appliances in your home and aim for that number in GPM. This calculation allows for about one gallon of water per minute per fixture. Because estimating the correct size can be challenging, it's best to have a professional technician make the final determination. A professional can ensure your pump provides sufficient water for your home, especially during peak usage hours.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

Having a well means that a household’s water supply, including water that comes through faucets, showerheads, and appliances, is supplied through a private source rather than from a city. The well pulls fresh water from an underground water supply, such as an aquifer, and the well pump pushes the water from the well to your household.

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.
