- the water stops flowing - no water! - sulfur and water that was of poor quality we could not be used to cook with or drink. - whenever a technician came to try to remediate the issue it was clear that repair required direction from the parent company and they would get guidance on the phone. -if equipping isn't installed properly - however good or bad the equipment may be - the system won't be successful and it wasn't. -they recommended we spend more $ on additional equipment after the initial installation. For example, a clean water tank before the water goes to the Ultra Filtration tank would extend the life of the filtration system that after only a few month degraded. Another example is their statement that to cook or drink the water we would need to pay for a reverse osmosis system.
We had to have another vendor remove the system and install a completely new system! It's working but after this company took our $5,000.
Our recommendation is do your homework better than we did. Buyer beware. Also, ask yourself do you want a water company to provide, install or maintain your system to high standards or do you want a company that's a water company and a solar panel company.... I guess they think both are installations so why not? Guess it does't matter the quality of the installation and maintenance as long as people pay.

It was difficult to believe that an entire new system was needed as this had been done in 2009 and the leach field redone again in 2010. After making a few repairs the plumber indicated that the septic tank was full and would need to be pumped out. For a household of one this would be the fourth time in six months that a pump out was necessary. He recommended Rotterdam Septic Systems Inc. and they arrived within an hour or so. After emptying the tank they observed, as other septic companies have in the past, that water was rapidly entering the tank from the outgoing drain. Rather than just deciding that the leach field was faulty these young men took a few minutes, determined that the leach field was dry and continued investigating. As it turned they discovered a second tank with an effluent pump and the plug to this pump had inadvertently become dislodged in the garage. Problem solved in a matter of minutes. One would think that the septic company that installed this tank and pump would have had some record of this and not recommended a whole new septic system.

First, some of the plumbing wasn't braced properly and it settled over the years causing a back pitch. But the real culprit came when he opened the U-trap. The first side didn't show anything but when he opened the other side (unlike the previous contractor) he found a large deposit of hardened grout reside. I guess you can't wash grout covered buckets and tools in your laundry sink (or any residential sink for that matter). Lesson learned!!! It was definitely my fault and he could have made me pay dearly by replacing that whole section of plumbing, but he worked diligently to remove the grout and clear up the system, all the while instructing me on how to keep my system running more efficiently. Eric was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and great to work with. I wouldn't for a second hesitate on using him again in the future.

FAQs for septic tank service projects in Guilderland, NY
The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.
Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.
A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.
Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
