"My family had a septic emergency where our alarm went off on our septic tank due to a manufacturer defect on a part. Cory came out the same day and was super responsive and fixed the pump by replacing the circuit board for free because we were within warranty for 3 years after re-doing our septic system. Cory was friendly, helpful and kind and worked efficiently, and also was happy to give me useful maintenace information."

"Septic system was full and back flowing into the basement. These guys came out within a day, located the tanks within minutes, found the problem and came up with a solution! They came by a couple times afterwards just to check the area and make sure everything was still draining properly. Very prompt and professional! Great job guys!"

"Showed up on time and finished in a reasonable amount of time. I had already agreed to pay an extra $250 for the Saturday install, but they then added another $200 to reinstall the recirculation pump that I had on my old tank. When I was quoted, I had taken pictures of the expansion tank and talked through it, so I was not too happy about being charged extra for it as it should have been included in the quote. Besides that, the soldering job is a little sloppy but should hold. They also made quite a watery mess removing my old tank, which I had to clean. In the end, their pricing was reasonable even with the extra fees, and they were able to come out the next day and install the heater, which I needed due to having small children in the house."

"Walters well and tank team did the job! They were prompt, wasted no time installing the well pump and the tank and pressure pump. My house was built in 1987, my family has been here for 20 years so that was the original well pump. Walter' team came up running getting the job done. I am so thankful that when I called them they gave me a specific time when they would arrive gave my husband a quote. When we needed them to come out and replace the water pumps inside and out, they had my water running and ready to go in 45 minutes. My husband was really impressed with Mr Walter and his team. When my husband asked them how long had they been in business my son calculated they been doing this line I work for 46 years and it definitely showed. I spoke with Mr Walter over the phone and had a very good conversation. He praised his team on how they do a really great job. Personally I whole heartedly agree. They do very good work. Five star team"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic systems typically require servicing every 3-5 years, but frequency varies according to household size and tank capacity.

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees.
