"This is a grade A , top notch company. We had to replace the septic system in our house. I got many quotes for the job, some companies shyed away or didn't think they could handle it. Scott came in, we went over the design, and he tackled it with ease. Each day his crew started early, around 7am, was always on-time. They were the friendliest team, and explained what needed to be done each step of the way. They have the industrial tools, but they use them with incredible dexterity, as if it was an extension of their hands. The grading and seeding were all done and it is better than ever. I hope you never have to replace your septic system, but if you do, call J. Tomaro to do it. Excellent job guys. Thanks."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage. 

Septic tanks naturally have bacteria that break down some of the solid waste in the septic tank. However, sludge buildup is just part of owning a septic system. While liquid wastewater can be filtered and treated through the system, a septic tank company has to pump the septic tank out at least every few years.
