"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

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.
