"They provided a time frame of when they would be able to perform my septic tank clean out. Their service person called when they were on the way. He easily completed his job task with a pleasant easy going professional attitude. I’ll be calling them back the next time I need my septic tank serviced for sure."

"Bryan was very professional and answered my calls quickly. He did a great job, showed up on time and explained what needed to be done. When there was a problem caused by a subcontractor, Bryan came to fix the problem quickly. The new septic tank met all inspections the first time."

"I called Gash Plumbing and they were here the next day. The guy was professional and worked really hard to clean and empty our septic tank. He went well above just placing a hose and pumping out. I will use them again."

"We thought we had a sinkhole but Corbin determined it was a huge, old septic tank! In one day it was fixed. He communicated well and tried hard to repair grass spots that equipment dug into as well as smoothing out the fill dirt. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire again."

"Hector was amazing from start to finish. Prompt and shows up himself to estimate the work, which was much more reasonable than the 2 other quotes we received, and does a great job through until the end. I have used him three times (for clients anbd myself) and has been consistent every time. He listens, gives quotes quickly, and schedules the repair promptly. Could not recommend more highly, he will be my sewer and septic guy for the long-term!"

"Alec and crew replaced my collapsed septic tank. He was very prompt and got out there that day to look at the issue. It was a bit of an emergency because of the huge hole that had opened up in my yard. Would recommend and will be having them back out to replace the laterals in the future"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The main difference between a mound septic system and a conventional one is that the drain field in a mound system is built up into a mound composed of sand and gravel to increase the filtration time the wastewater sees before it is returned to the aquifer. There’s also a significant cost difference, with mound systems typically costing far more than standard septic systems.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

There are a few things that can make your drain field fail. These include driving or parking vehicles or heavy machinery on the field, excess sodium in the soil, or having a high water table. You can prevent failure by ensuring your installer checks that your chosen location is suitable for a drain field and properly maintaining your system with the help of a professional.

Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue.
