"We recently had this company replace our original 1000 gallon septic tank with a 1500 gallon upgrade, along with an additional drain field line and they did a great job. If you want people who are skilled, hardworking and honest to handle your project, then I recommend that you give NC Septic & Pump your consideration. Their communication is excellent and they are very easy and pleasant to work with."

"Gentleman that came out, I believe his name was Cory, did exceptional work. He was great with communication. Our original scheduled date had to be changed due to an emergency he had. He was prompt in letting me know and getting rescheduled. He came out showing his knowledge, politeness, and professionalism. He communicated and even let us know of a couple future problems and fixes that he saw will be coming. He didn’t push any other sales or costs on to us and was up front on the charge. We also found out this fine young man is a veteran. Thank you again for your service, sir. I highly recommend CB Septic and know that we will be used them again."

"Rooter Express was called in when we had an emergency situation with sewage backup and after clearing the line to the tank. They were very responsive and gave us an honest assessment. We ended up replacing the Septic Tank and things are well now!"

"I recently worked with Stanly Septic & Grading for a septic system alteration project, and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, Kollin and team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment to quality. Kollin took the time to thoroughly assess our needs and provided us with a clear and detailed plan for the project. His knowledge is impressive, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. The work was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to our property. The team was punctual and left the site clean and tidy. What stood out the most was the level of communication throughout the process, Kollin was always quick to respond to my calls and texts. The project was completed on time and within the budget we discussed. Thank you, Kollin and team at Stanly Septic & Grading, for a job well done!"

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.

If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.

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.

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.
