"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

Many variables, such as home size, type of engineered system, the material used, soil conditions, and water usage, dictate how long your system will last. On average, most homeowners find that their system lasts 15 to 20 years, though it’s not unheard of for them to last up to 40 years with annual and preventative septic maintenance.

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

If your septic tank is still within its expected lifespan and you need to relocate it on your property, it's possible to do so. However, because the task is so labor-intensive and costly, most homeowners simply choose to abandon the old tank if possible and install a new system in the new location. In either case, hiring a professional installation company will be necessary for the job.
