"I contacted Great Bear through Angie's List and they were very responsive. Calling them to set an appointment was a little bit more difficult - but maybe because I called early. I called again and got through and made an appointment. Due to a backup in appointments, they were unable to come the first time around, but said they would come the next morning. They came on time then and discounted the rate since they were unable to make it the previous day. I wasn't there in person, but my husband dealt with Mike the owner and said he was friendly, professional and put the dirt with grass back over the hole (which the previous septic company we dealt with had not even tried to fix). Will definitely hire again in the future."

"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!"

"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!"

"Our bath tub drain was clogged.  Frequently we would find debris backed up into the tub.  The day after All-ways Sewer & Drain came, it happened again.  They were extremely reponsive and came back on 3/26 and resnaked it.  We appreciated their responsiveness.

Septic Tanks FAQs, 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.

Never use Drano on blocked toilets. You can end up with a ghastly leak because the chemicals eat away at the glue that holds pipes together just as effectively as they do with clogs. Drano is known for being particularly rough on toilets, which is why some plumbers actually dislike the product. 

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

Many contractors offer warranties for parts and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.
