"Contacted Anthony and explained the problem I was having and he offered to come by and check to see if the septic was full or if it was a blocked pipe. When he arrived he accessed the tank and found the pipe into the tank was blocked. He corrected the issue and the pipe started flowing again. He had just finished a job and was on the way to another. I asked to be put on the list to have my tank pumped and he stated he would just do it now while already here. He completed the task quickly and was very reasonable on the price. Will continue to use his company for related issues. AJ"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tank odors can happen because of a few different issues with your septic system, such as a full tank, clogged drains, or blocked venting systems. Not only is a smelly septic tank pretty unpleasant, but it can also pose a potential hazard to yourself and your home. Toxic fumes could be hanging around, or untreated wastewater could be harming the environment.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

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.

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.
