"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!"

"When my septic pump broke everyone I called was busy, even the team at the Water Specialist, but they responded to my emergency by making time for an inspection and replacement on top of an already busy schedule. They really came through for us!"

"I have owned my house for more than 20 years and hired multiple local septic companies over the years to drain my septic and not a single one of these has ever cleaned the liquid holding tank. Since it has never happened I assumed my case was different because I have a pump tank which I wrongly assumed can replace the holding tank. Turns out Bass service was the first ever to dig the hole to actually find the holding tank and drain it. As they put it, I paid to have my tank cleaned so that is what they were going to do. The others just cleaned half my tank and charged my for both the solids tank and the liquid holding tank. Use bass if you want to be treated fairly. I will use them next time I drain my tanks."

"Don promptly returned my call for service of my septic tank. I called on a Friday afternoon, and the work was performed on Tuesday morning. He charged a reasonable price and did a very professional job. His assistant Donald, was also very professional. The work took approximately half an hour and was done very efficiently.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

You can find your septic tank using a few different methods. For one, you can check your property records at your local municipal office. You can also inspect your yard looking for a depression, a septic tank lid, or lush septic-area vegetation which would indicate a leach field. You can also follow your pipes from the home to the yard. If you can't find your septic tank on your own, a local septic pro can help.

Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can’t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren’t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.

Options include submersible, jet, and centrifugal pumps. Choose based on water needs and well depth.

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.
