"For months, occasionally, there would be a puddle of water on my basment floor from inches to feet in from the wall. I have a HydoFlo drain tile system installed from a previous owner. I found that HydoFlo was no longer in business and didn't know who to go to for this problem so I called three companies for an estimate. The first company didn't even come out, the second company said I needed all the drain tiles dug up and replaced with their tile along one wall for a total of $4,200. The third company I called was StayDry and Wayne Nichols came out. He had been the owner of HydroFlo, who had gone out of business, and said they service the HydroFlo system. He immediately noticed that I didn't have a tile leak, but that I had a plumbing leak from above. Why I didn't notice that nor others who looked at it, specifically the guy who gave me the $4,200 estimate, I have no idea.  Wayne suggested I have two additional clean-out drains put in (I needed only one) and then flush out all drains to make sure the water was flowing through the drains properly.
I saw StayDry on Angie's list and decided to call them too and was so happy I did, especially because they service HydroFlo systems.

"Takes for ever to get a return a call. Also took a week to get someone out for repairs. They said they would reimburse me for septic repairs and it took over 3 months for that to happen."

"Kase did our new home inspection as well as the well/septic for the home we were selling. He was on time, professional and extremely pleasant to work with. When the VA needed some additional documents for our mortgage he got them right over to us (same day). And the owner and office manager were always friendly too. I would hire this company again and again."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.

Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.

How to size a well pressure tank is determined by three factors: flow rate, or how many gallons per minute your well pump produces; minimum runtime; and pressure switch setting. Most pressure tanks have a pressure switch operating at 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60—the first number is the pressure needed for the pump to turn on, and the second number is the pressure needed for the pump to switch off. Most homeowners relying on well water require a water pressure tank ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. 

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
