"I am an existing customer. Late Sunday evening our septic tank went into alarm. Kyle from All About Plumbing was on site within the hour. He determined the alarm, which silenced before he arrived, was likely due to something getting stuck on the pump float. No repairs were required and there were no charges for the trip and trouble shooting. Thank you! I highly recommend All About Plumbing!"

"I had noticed water in the pan under my old water heater.  I called the provider, explained the problem and they arranged for someone to come the next morning.  The next morning, they arrived at the time they said they would, promptly looked at my old water heater and determined that it needed to be replaced.  As the old water heater was in my attic and the expansion tank looked unstable, they recommended immediate replacement.  I asked about options, including a tankless water heaters.  The provider gave me clear factual information on the various options so that I could make an informed decision.  They installed the new water heater that morning.  The installation went well and they left my residence in perfect order.  I would definitely recommend Ethical Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing work.  They provided quick, good quality services with no hassles.

"Chase gave us a good estimate on the tankless system and recommended a new, larger pressure tank, which we knew we needed. He provided information on the options and checked to make sure that our choices would maintain the proper value of our house. The team did a good job of installing the new equipment, keeping us informed through the process. It was reliable and painless. Of note: we sent requests to 3 plumbing companies through Home Advisor, and Benjamin Franklin was the only company to respond at all. The office contacted me the same day."

"Stephen handled the septic tank and leach field installation from start to finish. 1000 gallon tank and 4 50' leach lines. Very considerate and responsive. Explained the whole process. Closely worked with the Environmental Health inspectors. Worked me in earlier than scheduled and completed the project in one day. Would highly recommend Stephen for your septic project."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

A septic tank is an underground container that collects and holds wastewater until it’s sufficiently filtered and broken down. It treats wastewater by separating waste so the leftover liquid can travel into the drainfield where the soil and gravel eventually filter and purify it. This process naturally eliminates bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.

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 septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

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.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage.
