"The project was far more involved than just septic repair. Our house was built in the fifties and had serious drainage and grey water problems as well. Darin was able to make the repairs, grade the yard and install new drainage lines for the gutters as well as replace the old pipes and clean out the septic system. It was a huge project that required a wide range of skills including digging new lines, tree removal, plus excavation and grading. We were very pleased with the work and the results. It was also great watching the dynamics with Tripp and Rider his two sons who were both hard working, followed directions well and always hustled. We have since hired DTR for other projects including more grey water lines and grading of our cabin , building a boat ramp at the creek at our campsite and then building an entire addition including a ll aspects of building a retaining wall and construction of our commercial kitchen including everything from electrical and plumbing to interior walls using FRP panels on the walls and ceiling which is a difficult project to do correctly as it has no nails or screws and is done with adhesive. All projects have been extraordinarily well done and we have been very happy with the work and the follow up afterwards. Each of these projects deserves its own review. I think the best review is when you hire them again. Highly recommended"

"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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

While abandoning a tank without treating it and following strict rules is illegal, there are several other ways to dispose of an old septic tank. One standard method is to pump out and crush the tank where it rests and bury it in the soil. Another is to remove it and transport it to a landfill. Finally, if abandonment is the best option, your contractor must pump out the tank and fill it with inert material, such as sand or concrete, depending on local regulations.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage.
