"They did a good job and followed up quickly to install a riser. Good service at a good price. BUT... I was a bit skeptical of their recommendation for a new filter and expensive turbo cleaning of the septic field/components. I declined the recommendation. The septic field isn't showing any signs of a problem (soggy/soft ground). I might regret it, but I suspect they were needlessly upselling me."

"Very quick response to my request for service. Came on time and did the job in spite of the rain/snow. My septic tank access was almost 3 feet down, so I got them to install a collar to raise access to just below surface level for future cleanouts."

"We called Forever Clean to pump our septic tank. Then previous homeowner hadn’t touched it in 28 years. In fact, they didn’t even know where the septic tank was so Forever Clean had to find the tank. They did so, with some effort. Took about an hour and lots of poking and digging. They were able to pump the 28 year old tank which provided us with peace of mind. We will have Forever Clean on our schedule for regular maintenance in the future!"

"I would recommend this company to fix any septic tank repair or install. Ricky and company were knowledgeable, hard working, and answered my numerous questions. He replaced a pipe that had split during the 36 years since the system was installed. It took about 3.5 hours because my septic tank had not been pumped in 36 years had to be done. Ricky had that taken care of. However, my yard was a mess afterwards and still is. Ricky told me the clay would sink when it rained. Sink it did. Where the initial hole was sunk six inches. The entire area sunk four inches and when I went out there today to put soil on the dug up area, I sunk at least two inches just walking on it. I put 150 quarts of soil out today and will probably need the same amount to complete the fix. Planning to get another 150 quarts tomorrow and sew the grass seed. Already had the bail of straw."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

A septic perc test is done by drilling a hole into the ground, filling the hole with water, and testing to see how long it drains. While simple, the test itself provides a great deal of information about your yard. The last thing you want to do is skip a perc test only to discover your yard doesn’t drain sewage effectively.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.

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.
