"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..."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a septic tank riser can replace a concrete septic tank lid. Risers are designed to replace various types of septic tank covers, including concrete, metal, and fiberglass, to provide easier access for pumping and repairs. While a plastic riser makes future access more convenient, the initial replacement can be difficult because concrete lids are very heavy, so it is a job best left to professionals. Once installed, you will need to be cautious around the riser during yard work, such as mowing, to avoid causing damage.

Installation necessitates professional expertise due to complexity and to ensure safety when handling waste.

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. 

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.
