"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% ."

"They actually maintain our Lawn on a regular basis, but they accommodate my needs, they don't require me to sign a regularly scheduled service. They come when I need them. They also do my Annual Clean ups for Spring and Fall. I would give them a 6 on the Value. I have recommended them to several Friends, Colleagues, and family members."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Normally, when your well pump turns on or off, you’ll hear a small click. This isn’t anything to worry about, but it can be a problem if it’s clicking continuously. This can indicate that the well pump is short cycling—the pump continuously turns on and off.

This can wear out the motor and provide uneven water flow. If this happens, you may need to get it looked at by a well pump professional to see if you need to repair the switch or pump.

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

To determine the right size for your submersible well pump, find your well depth, water demand, and well casing diameter. The pump should match your well's specifications and meet or exceed your drawdown and pressure requirements. 

For precise sizing, make sure to research the different well pump sizes, consult the manufacturer's recommendations, or seek guidance from a professional well pump installer.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.
