"Bryan responds quickly to emails and texts, even when he is on a different job. He and Jose worked very well together, wasting no time. Bryan is very knowledgeable about following Overland Park requirements & regulations, relieving us of most interaction with the city. Because of a faulty installation of our first septic tank, Bryan had to install a new lateral bed. Here, again, he took care of finding an engineer to design the new bed and pushed the city to get the necessary approvals. Many thanks to Bryan and Jose for working hard and completing the job before I was scheduled to leave town."

"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."

"Todd had great communication re appt and re: what needed to be done and why. He was on time, added an expansion tank, replaced my broken valve and installed a new regulator in well under 2 hours. The following week I asked him how to adjust our water pressure a bit and...he offered to come back and do it for us. Again, great communication re: the time of the appointment and he adjusted it in no time. He was also very competitive price wise w 2 other companies who gave me an estimate. I will call him again if I have other plumbing needs."

"After inquiring about having an inspection of some newly installed plumbing work, Poor John's Plumbing was very quick to respond with an estimated cost and availability. They were easy to schedule a time and I didn't have to wait long to have them come. A plumber named Jacob came out and was very punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. He did a great job of talking through the inspection, was very fair in the cost, and thorough in documenting the inspection results for me. Throughout everything, both Jacob and the Poor John's Plumbing office maintained great communication and were a pleasure to do business with. I would definitely use them again."

"I had purchased a Deal from Angie's List for a drain cleaning for $69.  As it turned out, it was not the drain.  It was the tub stopper that wasn't opening all the way.  The plumber was very efficient and courteous.  They offered to come out free of charge if this did not take care of the problem.  I was very happy with the results and the service.

"We bought a house recently. The inspection report called for installation of an expansion tank and lengthened drip leg on the HW heater. Jamison Plumbing had installed the new HW tank several months before for the original home owner. Jason called the City of Liberty to determine the exact code requirements. He called back and agreed to the additional work at no charge. He was able to make the changes in a timely manner. His crew called to say they would be later than planned because of an unexpected delay at the preceding job site. We appreciated his willingness to finish the installation according to code and to cover the additional materials and time. It was a great way to be welcomed into a new community.

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.

The bacteria already present in your septic system should be enough to break down solids in a properly maintained septic tank. However, if you’re in a DIY mood, you can try adding (well-mashed) rotten tomatoes to help the good bacteria fulfill their duty. Just make sure you give them a couple hours to work after flushing them down.
