Q: What breaks down sludge in a septic tank?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is a good perc rate for a septic system?

• <div><p>Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for a septic tank to fill up after pumping?

• <div><p>A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to oversize a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>Yes, it is generally okay to oversize a well pressure tank, and it will not harm your well system. The primary advantage is that a larger tank reduces frequent pump cycling, leading to longer, slower cycles with fewer startups. This can result in less wear and tear, potentially increasing the lifespan of the pump and conserving energy. However, there are drawbacks to consider. Oversized tanks have a higher upfront cost and require more physical space. While not necessarily a bad thing, opting for a tank that is appropriately sized for your well is often the most efficient choice in terms of cost and space.</p></div>

The team showed up almost immediately when I got home from work. They were able to troubleshoot and repair everything immediately. They even found and fixed a leaking pipe that is now making the weak valves work better than ever. I will definitely go with them for future repairs.

Very patient and professional. We’ve had some horrible experiences with other plumbers in the area that were not knowledgeable and would not guarantee their product/services. Not with this company. So far we are thrilled with our updated system and highly recommend them.
