"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

Watch for slow drainage, pooling water in the yard, or unpleasant odors inside or outside. Addressing these issues timely avoids significant disruptions or costs.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it’s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home. 

To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.

Neither system is necessarily better or worse than the other, but one of the two might be better for your needs. For example, anaerobic systems are less expensive than aerobic ones and don’t use power to run. On the other hand, aerobic septic systems don’t take up as much space and are typically more efficient than their anaerobic counterparts.
