"I was told my drainfield would need to be replaced by a company that was pumping my tanks after they overflowed. The pump company gave me a quote to do the work. I called golden septic and a few other excavators for quotes on the replacement and got mostly voicemails. Travis and Kelvin from golden septic came out the next day and asked to try to fix the system first because they didnâ t think the drainfield looked bad enough to be not working at all. After digging up an area around the tank they found the pipe going to the drainfield was old and had broken not far from the tank. I ended up saving thousands of dollars by calling them."

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

"He was prompt, efficient, professional and reasonably priced. He determined that the softener was fine but my pressure tank probably had a split in the inner liner because it had water in it. He gave me a rough idea of what needed to be done and is getting together an estimate for me. I decided to get a second opinion and had a certified/licensed plumber check it out. The plumber did a water test and checked out my pressure tank. Everything is fine. The water test came back good with only trace amounts of iron. I would use Bob again but only for handyman type of work. He did a great job hanging closet doors for me."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

Your septic tank may be full or clogged if you notice household drains that are backed up, draining slowly, or gurgling; greener, lusher grass around the septic system; pooling water in your yard; or smelling sewage odors outdoors. You can contact a local septic tank pro to inspect your septic system and pump your tank.

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.

You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.
