"What a professional crew! These four men showed up every day at 9 am sharp, and worked hard all day, until they got done what they needed to do for the day. The foreman, Kris, was an expert with that excavator! He was kind and kept me well informed throughout the process. The other members of the team, Brandon, Tracy and Garrett, were also knowledgeable and helpful. All of the men were all respectful and polite, never a hint of foul language or anything inappropriate, which was wonderfully refreshing, and noticed. They competently installed the new tank and the full drain field, never leaving me without septic availability or water overnight. At the end of the project my yard was cleaned up, smoothed out, grass-seeded with hay over the seed, and left in great condition. A big shoutout to the men from All About Plumbing and Septic! Thank you all so much!"

"Iâ  m not a review writer, but I was so blown away by the service I got from All About Plumbing I just had to share my experience. Having been a home owner for 30 years Iâ  ve worked with lots of plumbers and must say that All About Plumbing exceeds then all. Weâ  re new to our home and to being on well water and septic tank. The other day we came home to a mysterious puddle in our basement, so getting someone quickly was a priority. I began calling different companies and All About Plumbing was the first to respond. The person that answered the phone was surprisingly knowledgable and polite, asking good questions; a good start that just got better. The technician diagnosed the problem and resolved it quickly and efficiently without any issues."

"They have an annual contract which includes entire plumbing inspection and water heater flush twice a year! That in itself is more than the annual fee. Jason is great and very through."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.

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 septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.
