"I hired Bill Farley to construct a new septic seepage field and upgrade my current septic tank. The job also required cutting down and removing a forest from the site and demolishing and removing a large storage shed. He was knowledgable, competent, honest and did a good job in spite of complications. Thinking about it afterward, it was not only having the job done right, but having someone you could trust and knowing that he job would be done right and not having to worry or check up. My only critisism would be that he is not up-to-date with electronic communication. But then neither am I."

Customers say: Quality work

"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

Septic tanks appear full after pumping because the liquid levels have returned to normal. If you can see the pipe, the tank is empty. However, heavy rain can cause septic tanks to fill faster than normal. You might also have leaky pipes or faucets, causing extra water to drip down the drains and into the septic tank.

The efficacy of a drain field depends on a wide variety of factors, though a well-maintained one can last as long as 40 or 50 years. Of the different types of septic tanks on the market, concrete and plastic tanks tend to last the longest—upwards of 40 years if they’re pumped regularly—while steel tanks have a tendency to rust over time and may need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years.

A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.

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.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
