"Replaced leech field- he did an excellent job removing my old leech field and replacing it with a better system. From the time I entered the job in homeadvisor (approx 8am) I was called back before noon. We scheduled a site review later that day. From the time I selected Roadway, there was constant progress. Even when the permits were in progress, they were in constant contact to let me know what was going on. When the permits were in order, they worked nonstop until the job was done. Their work was excellent, prompt and neat. Highly recommend."

"Worst homeowner experience of my life. Hired to replace a sewer line from my house to the street - three day job turned into three weeks - said they didn’t need to shut off our water, though we asked, then broke the water line and flooded the hole, which backed up into the broken sewer line and then back into my basement - city engineers were all over the job because of safety concerns, including a teenage boy working in a 12 foot hole with no cave in support. I doubt the city of Dover would even give him a permit again. - never worked a full day. Left early for reasons ranging from broken equipment, teaching karate lessons, or going to daughter’s events - hole was definitely not packed back in correctly as we ended up with a moat the following spring. A pizza delivery guy literally fell into the dent in my front yard. - cost of job went up 150% from original quote and he wouldn’t itemize the bill - and here we are a year and a week later and my sewer line is backed up again so the job was bunk. I’m not even kind of surprised. Dana is the worst. Stay away from this business. I will be filing complaints with anyone and everyone who monitors these types of business. Horrible."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Soda, coffee, and other soft drinks are highly acidic. This affects the pH in septic tanks, causing them to require more frequent pumping. However, a vast majority of people don't need to worry about septic system disruption. Pouring out the occasional flat soda doesn’t affect septic systems to the same degree as the high-volume dumping from restaurants and convenience stores.

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.
