"Don't know if I'll have enough space to say all the wonderful things about Affordable Plumbing and Septic! We had an apparent lightening strike at our home on Lake Nehai in Keytesville. The septic tank pump/grinder (which carries waste water from the septic tank to the city sewer line up the hill) was fried. We couldn't use any water or flush toilets without the tank overflowing into the yard. Affordable's price was in line with other estimates, but their service was far better! They were prompt, professional and thorough. After the installation of the new pump/grinder, when it was discovered that the replacement pump/grinder didn't work, they determined that the electrical line that went to the old pump was also damaged. They called in an electrician who was able to replace the electrical line and we were up and running within 24 hours. Excellent service. Throughout the process, I was outside observing. All my (many) questions were answered with patience and good humor. The installation was not easily accomplished, but the expert installer knew how to overcome all the difficulties. If we ever have another problem, we will definitely call Affordable. We have even signed up to have them do an annual inspection and cleaning of the tank. The owner also talked with our insurance company to explain the damage to help us file our claim for the lightening strike. If you have a septic or plumbing problem, call Affordable!"

"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

A septic tank with a 1,500-gallon capacity is good for larger homes with up to 6 or 7 bedrooms. The average home can go with a smaller tank, about 1,000 gallons, which supports a home size of up to 2,500 square feet, or a home with about three bedrooms.

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

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.

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.

There are a few signs that indicate a failing drain field. For instance, if your septic tank starts requiring more pumping than normal, your drain field might be failing. Other signs to watch for include poor drainage after rain, standing water or sewage over the septic system, a strong septic smell outside, new and healthy grass growing over the drain field, and plumbing backups in your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets.
