"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."
"I had an exceptional experience with Aqua Tech Plumbing! Their professionalism, expertise, and customer-centric approach truly impressed me. 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!"

Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it’s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn’t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems.
There are a variety of different types of septic systems that can work in your home—such as conventional anaerobic systems, chamber systems, drip distribution systems and mound septic systems. All of them work using natural processes to break down solid waste and effectively treat wastewater without needing to be connected to a city sewer system. Which type of septic system you need will depend on characteristics of your property like how high the bedrock is or groundwater table is. Different types of systems come at different costs to install.
Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.
Yes, it is possible to drill a well by hand, but it calls for a good deal of physical labor. Drilling a well by hand is best suited for softer soil, and it may not be possible through rockier terrain. For wider and deeper holes, companies with professional equipment make the job much easier.
Ensuring you have adequate space for your engineered septic system is crucial. You’ll need to reserve approximately 900 square feet for a three-bedroom home’s system. However, the type of soil you have, soil absorption rate, the size of your home, climate, and local zoning code will impact the actual amount of space you need.
