"He replaced outdoor plumbing for spout and did some took off some siding of the house. He did an excellent job and provided a very reasonable price. He give free estimate and he come back 2 days later and got finished the job . H e was all work and no talk and had no delay. He was spectacular .and He knew how to access 35 year old pipe that was in the siding. It was great. He place everything in perfect edition and I'd even recommended him on the app next door. I even left his name for others to contact for general contracting needs. I plan to call him again."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can pump a septic tank too much. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on capacity, water usage, and household size. If you pump the septic tank more frequently than your recommended pumping schedule, the beneficial bacteria can leach into the drain field, causing an imbalance and solid waste build-up.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

The most budget-friendly septic system is a plastic tank, which starts at around $2,900. This is $200 less than concrete septic tanks and $500 less than fiberglass.

Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and size of your well pump.

A septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.
