"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.

"I called several businesses to get bids on the cost and timing for a septic system inspection. This was the only one that responded! And he did it within a few minutes of the call. The rest a gave three days to respond, none of them ever did. So I called him back and said he had the job. He arrive when he said he would. Did the inspection in under an hour. And sent me a written report for my records. Only thing I didn t care for was a charge for his driving time, which tripled his fee. Everything considered it was worthwhile to know that our septic system was fine and we don t need it pumped, which can cost hundreds or replaced which is thousands of dollars. I do recommend this every 3-5 years."

"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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Wells typically replenish at a rate of about five gallons per minute, but several variables can influence how quickly they refill. A deep well will take more time to replenish than a shallow one. The replenishment rate can be slowed by issues such as leaks, damage, a faulty well pump, or a clogged well screen. Other factors, such as the surrounding geology, regular precipitation, and proper maintenance, also affect the recovery rate.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

If you’re going away on vacation or leaving your home for a long time, it’s a good idea to switch off your well pump and pressure tank before you go. This way you can prevent any damage from unexpected leaks that may occur or unforeseen electrical issues while you’re away.

Drain fields often include three to five trenches that are 18 to 24 inches deep. The pipes connecting the drain field to the septic tank will be placed between 12 and 18 inches deep, and the field as a whole will be about 100 feet long.
