"Bill was great from the get go, he came right over and gave us solid professional advice on what we would need to do and how to go about it. Once it was determined that we would need to replace the septic tank which was an old metal tank that not only had not been used for more than 25 years, it was on the verge of completely failing. Bill took care of everything with the county board of health and the township who required a larger tank than the county. Our install turned to be a lot more work than he originally bargained for. He did not anticipate the amount of buried rock (large- boulders) in the area needed to enlarge a hole for the new 1500 gallon tank. He ultimately hauled out 5 loads of rock (boulders) and had to bring in several loads of crushed cement for fill to replace the boulders and to fill in and around the new tank, level up under and around the new lateral line to seepage pit. Bill was a total professional from start to finish, even with the set back caused by all of the stone, he was able to get right into the project and get the installation completed, since it did not require any new engineering or an expanded field he was able to get the inspection done right away which allowed us to keep the house on the market, and hopefully a new owner will be able to utilize the new system and enjoy the home for many years to come. I would highly recommend William (Bill) Farley Septic Services to anyone looking for a professional septic contractor any day of the week..."

"Scott and his sons were able to completely replace my failed septic in time for the sale of my house. It was an enormous amount of work in a very tiny space and I'm still amazed it was done so quickly. Scott updated us daily with where we were at with the process and kept on top of everything. I highly recommend Sunrise Environmental."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue. 

You may notice a septic smell in your yard after it rains if groundwater is entering your septic tank and causing it to overflow. If you experience septic odors after rainfall, contact a licensed plumber. They can construct a drain to redirect rainwater away from your septic tank. 

Yes! Toilet paper can be flushed if you use a septic tank. While unique toilet papers designed to be used with septic tanks are available, many people have no problem flushing regular toilet paper with a septic tank, so long as you don’t flush too much toilet paper all at once. Do not flush any type of baby wipes or bathroom wipes, even if they say “flushable.”

With regular servicing and general upkeep, both a well pump and pressure tank can last for years. The average lifespan of a well pump is around eight to 15 years. A well pressure tank can last from seven to 10 years. How long a well pump and pressure tank lasts also depends on a variety of factors such as type, size, material, and brand.
