I was in a bind. The coldest day of the year a water supply burst on the second floor. I called three companies before I got to "A Real Plumber." First one said they could do it and the tech would call right back. An hour  later he called and said he couldn't do it today because he had two calls ahead of me. Other two didn't even return my call.

I called ARP and said they would be there within two hours. An hour later Chris was at my door. We located the burst. It was in a real tight spot and almost impossible to get to. I really thought we would need to cut a hole in the wall to get at it. I was surprised when Chris said he could get at it through the cubby hole. Chris thawed the pipe, cut out the  bad spot and sweated in a new piece. Chris is a very nice young man and very professional. They  were prompt and the price was decent. I will happily hire this company again.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A mound septic system, when properly maintained, can last between 20 and 25 years on average—though some last longer or malfunction sooner than that. The most important part of maintenance is getting an annual inspection of the vital parts of the system to ensure they’re in proper working order and not too backed up with sewage.

You should pump your septic tank once every two to four years for a family of four, depending on your septic tank size. You should pump a 1,000-gallon septic tank every two years, while a 1,500-gallon tank should be pumped every four years. Water usage also affects how often you should pump your septic tank. If you notice slow drains, foul smells, or gurgling sounds from your drains, you should pump your septic tank as soon as possible.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage. 

Both materials are suitable for septic tanks, but concrete usually lasts longer than plastic. If you’re buying a new tank, the prices are similar for plastic ($500 to $2,500) and concrete ($700 to $2,000). However, there’s a notable difference in repair prices, with plastic tank repair costs ranging from $150 to $2,000, while concrete repairs are between $700 and $5,000.

Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don’t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.
