"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."

"They called within minutes of my posting on Home Advisor. Sent someone that afternoon even though it was Saturday, gave a reasonable price and asked if I needed repair made immediately because he had an emergency to handle some miles away but would return in a few hours. Office called to say his emergency was taking longer than planned but he would return on Sunday. He did late Sunday morning and made repair."

"We had a clogged gray water line that was causing water to back up and come out of the floor drains in our basement and soak the floor. It was an older house and we weren’t sure how the drainage pipes were set up. Gualtieri first helped us troubleshoot the problem and recommended an expert snake/drain company to unclog and video the entire gray water drainage line. Really, really good idea and gave us a concrete map of what was underground. Among other things, it turned out there was also a rainwater leader feeding into the same washing machine drainage pipe as well as gray water from our a bathroom shower/tub and sink inside the house. Gualtieri helped us devise a plan to reroute the bathroom water in the basement (to our septic) as well as the rainwater leader outside (to a new dedicated rainwater pipe). Once we figured this all out and had the necessary plumbing done, Gualtieri installed a 660-gallon dry well. They did the dry well install in one, short day with just the two brother/owners, no other workmen. Jim ran the digger with expert care. He minimized disrupting shrubs, trees, ground cover, and moved one large bush and delicately worked around another. He patiently discussed with me the best plan for the dug-up dirt (which was the biggest technical challenge) and came up with a perfect solution which included moving a couple of large piles of sticks and dead branches. The work done was right alongside our driveway and they did not leave a single mark on the asphalt, nothing. They threw grass seed on the bare ground and two-weeks later it’s like they never were here. Jim and Dan are not only extremely competent at what they do, they are also honest, straight-forward, do not BS, and are genuinely nice guys. We feel lucky to have found them!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

The best way to keep a septic tank clean is to hire a local septic tank cleaner to inspect and pump the septic tank every three to five years. Be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and don’t pour grease, oil, fats, coffee grounds, or food scraps into your drains.
