"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."
"Great experience from my phone conversations with Jason through the day of work! Would highly recommend this company. They cleaned out my septic tank thoroughly and without issue. Thanks"
"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."

From the initial scheduling to the completion of the job, every interaction was seamless and courteous. They, arrived promptly, diagnosed the issue quickly, and provided a clear explanation of the necessary repairs. Their work was efficient, neat, and of the highest quality. What stood out most was their dedication to ensuring I understood every step of the process and was completely satisfied with the outcome. Their attention to detail, respect for my property, and willingness to answer questions were truly appreciated. I highly recommend Aqua Tech Plumbing for any plumbing needs. Their commitment to excellence, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service makes them a gem in their industry. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give them ten stars if I could!"

You can find your septic tank using a few different methods. For one, you can check your property records at your local municipal office. You can also inspect your yard looking for a depression, a septic tank lid, or lush septic-area vegetation which would indicate a leach field. You can also follow your pipes from the home to the yard. If you can't find your septic tank on your own, a local septic pro can help.
Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue.
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.
On average, you should call a pro to pump your cesspool once per year. If you have a larger home with a lot of family members, you may need to pump more (up to six times per year). On the flip side, if you’re talking about a cesspool for a home you don’t use much or if you’re the only occupant in a home, you won’t have to pump nearly as much.
Schedule annual inspections, monitor water pressure, and address minor issues promptly to avoid major repairs.
