"We made the right decision to hire Bill based on the excellent reviews here and on his quote being a couple thousand dollars below another contractor. Bill is very experienced and knowledgeable about everything that goes into septic systems: the engineering plan, installation, supplies, working with other contractors, inspections, etc. He'll answer your questions and explain any portion of the process. He's honest, trustworthy, and hard-working, which is extremely important for a big and expensive job like this. When Mother Nature threw us multiple days of rain he worked weekends to keep the project moving. He handled all of the coordination to get contractors in for tank pumping, dirt removal, and inspections. All we had to do was sit back and let him do his job. Thanks, Bill!"

"We hired Michael Lacken to replace our aging septic. From the first meeting it was very clear they are absolutely a cut above standard contractors. We have a difficult lot which is both small and shallow, which required a very specific type of system to meet township and state regulations, and Michael's team were able to deliver. The whole process has been smooth from start to finish; communication with their team is excellent, the septic has been installed with no hidden fees or costs to us, and they have been very thorough in making sure we are happy with the results. I would recommend this company 100% ."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

Septic tank locations are sometimes public record, although it depends on local laws and the property age. Older properties may not have the septic tank information on public record. To check, you can talk to local permitting agencies, such as your local health department, the local environmental department, or the county clerk.

They can if they’re not installed correctly or if the caps or covers were dislodged by a lawn mower or other yard equipment. This is why it pays to hire a reputable septic tank company that’s experienced in septic tank installation and maintenance. You should also check caps and covers often to see that they’re in place and take measures to tighten or secure them, provided it is safe to do so.

Unfortunately, yes. If your well pump continues working when the flow of water is completely blocked, the motor will burn up. The energy has nowhere to go, thanks to the blockage, so it turns inward. The end result? A ruined well pump and a depleted bank account (once you shop for a replacement.) 

Most professionals recommend that a deep well pump shouldn’t run more than 10 hours consecutively before cycling off. Overworking the well pump beyond the recommended amount can prematurely wear out your pump and burn out the motor, which means replacing it more often than you otherwise should need to. Your well pump should also come with the manufacturer’s use and maintenance recommendations that are specific to the model.
