I’ve been working in plumbing and Drain Cleaning for over 7 years, currently serving the greater Hudson Valley Area of NY, Northern NJ and Pike County PA. I take real pride in doing things the right way, not the easy way. Whether it’s a simple fix or a full system overhaul, I treat every job like it’s my own home. My goal is straightforward, show up on time, do clean work, and leave you with zero headaches.

"Jason, Mike and Rick are the best! I was having a problem with septic smell in my vacation home in Sullivan County. My local plumber had no interest in actually diagnosing the problem. All he did was put band-aids on the problem and said "see if this works). Needless to say, nothing he did got rid of the problem. I called 5 other plumbers in Sullivan County and no one even returned my call. I found Jason on Home Advisor. He is not in Sullivan County but his listing said they service the area. I called, got Jason on the phone and we made an appointment. He came in and said until he opened the wall he could not be sure, so he gave me a best case and worst case scenario, price wise. Turns out, it was the worst case....my entire drain line needed to be redone from the house to where it hooked up to the new septic system. They came back dug a trench in not the best of circumstances because of the weather and re-plumbed the drain. I will be using them as my plumbers from now on! I don't think you'll find a more competent plumber serving Sullivan County! And Jason is a hell of a nice guy!"

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.
