"Couldn't be happier with the service we've been receiving from Great Bear Septic over the years. They are professional, take the time to answer our questions, and are unfailingly cheerful. They are a pleasure to work with. When we first purchased our home ten years ago, we had Earthcare take a look at our system. They tried to talk us into a $20,000+ replacement of our system. Something didn't seem quite right, so on the recommendation of friends, we reached out to Great Bear. Ten years later, with regular pumping from Great Bear, system still works great. In addition to all their other fine qualities, the team at Great Bear is trustworthy! Could not ask for more."

"As a real estate owner/broker and homeowner. Billy does all of our septic inspections and necessary repairs for my real estate agency and its clients. His thoroughness and attention to detail are outstanding. I am confident when I recommend him to my clients. He has even performed his services on my property, installing a septic tank and fields. The septic tank was under a manicured landscaped area with pavers, stone walls, and steps between my house and garage, with very limited access. He actually built a ramp for the machines to traverse the stone wall to access the site. Removed the old septic tank, installed the new one, and put everything (including plants he had to remove) back in the same place. I can't believe it looked like it never happened. I recommend Billy to everyone I encounter who needs septic or drainage work."

"The inspector was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He was thorough and comprehensive in his work. I felt confident in his evaluation on our septic system and will be hiring the company to do some additional work in the future."

"Very professional, larger co. with excellent customer service and follow up. Plumber arrived on time and finished a portion of the work, with need to order parts and come back to finish the job. So far, very pleased with the work, but services are expensive and done by the job, not time and materials."

"Tom and his team were excellent to work with. They really guided me throughout the entire process with my project. From the clearing, excavation and grading to the septic installation, they did a spectacular job for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again."

"Phenomenal experience. Rob was diligent about finding the tank (we had no idea where it was). He explained how often we need to pump & why. He also recommended products to maintain the tank, so that we can try and avoid future problems. I would not call anyone else to pump my septic."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn’t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there’s a problem with your drain field. Repairing a drain field costs an average of $2,000 to $15,000.

Baking soda does very little to nothing for a septic tank, but it can help unclog a drain or clean out a garbage disposal. Rotten tomatoes and yeast are the best ways to increase the bacteria in your septic tank naturally. You can add these to your system once every three months.

The efficacy of a drain field depends on a wide variety of factors, though a well-maintained one can last as long as 40 or 50 years. Of the different types of septic tanks on the market, concrete and plastic tanks tend to last the longest—upwards of 40 years if they’re pumped regularly—while steel tanks have a tendency to rust over time and may need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years.

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

While abandoning a tank without treating it and following strict rules is illegal, there are several other ways to dispose of an old septic tank. One standard method is to pump out and crush the tank where it rests and bury it in the soil. Another is to remove it and transport it to a landfill. Finally, if abandonment is the best option, your contractor must pump out the tank and fill it with inert material, such as sand or concrete, depending on local regulations.
