"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 questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.

Schedule annual inspections, monitor water pressure, and address minor issues promptly to avoid major repairs.

A mound septic system, when properly maintained, can last between 20 and 25 years on average—though some last longer or malfunction sooner than that. The most important part of maintenance is getting an annual inspection of the vital parts of the system to ensure they’re in proper working order and not too backed up with sewage.

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

The best way to keep a septic tank clean is to hire a local septic tank cleaner to inspect and pump the septic tank every three to five years. Be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and don’t pour grease, oil, fats, coffee grounds, or food scraps into your drains.
