"It has been a long time since I've been as impressed with the service provided by an individual as I was with Radu. He showed up on time, was patient, professional, and had a genuine concern for completing the job correctly, as economically as possible, and all in one day. He found that the issue was a simple problem with an easy resolution, and only billed me for what was absolutely necessary to get us back online. No excuses about equipment issues, weather conditions, or having to deal with thorny bushes. He saw what had to be done, he did it, and never complained. As the business owner/operator, he knows how to treat his customers, and locked up my repeat business by inspiring trust and confidence in the service he provided. "

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

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.

Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.

On average, septic systems last between 15 and 20 years. However, with proper care and routine septic maintenance, you may be able to extend your septic system’s life span to 30 years (or more). Some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape include scheduling a professional inspection every two to five years and reducing the flow of wastewater into your system.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.
