"Mike and his team are extremely responsive and professional. From the first contact to final installation for a large, complex septic system, it only took 2 weeks including all the permit and inspection. We are really grateful for finding Septic Advisor through Angie's list and hired him for our project. We cannot be happier! Highly recommended! Will definitely hire Mike again for any future needs."

"Troy and Cyr septic did a great job. I found Troy to be honest, straight forward and willing to get right in there and get the job done. I was most impressed that Troy was willing to drop everything he was doing when I contacted him on Sunday. He showed up, assessed the situation and created a plan of action and quote. All the prep work was done on Monday, then we had to wait for a pumping service which took a few days. Troy was back that afternoon after the tank was pumped to finish the job. In the end Troy collected exactly what he quoted for the job and my tank was repaired"

"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."

"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

Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

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.

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.

Leach lines are commonly made of PVC pipe, and they’re placed into trenches filled with gravel and sand, which help treat the wastewater. The PVC pipes are perforated, or drilled with small holes, so the wastewater can drain out of the pipes and into the surrounding material, which eventually leads to the aquifer.
