"The well tank was replaced, and boiler coil was flushed. The job was top notch and Bryan K. answered all my questions and explained everything to me on the final walkthrough. His assistant Sam was also professional and friendly. They are both A-1."

"We needed someone to fix our washing machine and other plumbers were saying there was a 3+ week wait. There were roots growing in the pipes so it was a big job that many plumbers did not have the equipment for. Joe was able to come out the next day and completed the work for a fraction of the price other places were quoting us. Thank you!"

Septic Tanks questions, 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.

Septic tanks naturally have bacteria that break down some of the solid waste in the septic tank. However, sludge buildup is just part of owning a septic system. While liquid wastewater can be filtered and treated through the system, a septic tank company has to pump the septic tank out at least every few years.

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.

Installation necessitates professional expertise due to complexity and to ensure safety when handling waste.

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.
