"Excellent value. Superior work. We had multiple stumps removed, an old 16â x32â raised bed garden removed. One of the stumps was right next to our septic tank. JReid was able to remove this stump without harming our tank at all. This stump was within 1ft of the tank, and it was carefully removed with expertise. I would definitely recommend them!"

"This company called me as I clicked yes to help. Very knowledgeable, he asked me questions, figured out my problem and told me where to get part and pretty much how to install it and test it! He had prices, options and I will call him anytime I have water issues! The rest of the day I answered calls and was told I needed them to come and charge me tons of money.. I am up and running with a phone call! Almost nobody does that anymore. Satisfaction went through the roof with Drain Cleaners Sewer and Septic Professionals, they knew all about wells, pumps, tanks and control boxes! Love these guys! thank you again, Dean R. Hubbel"

"J & J Plumbing installed a ductless AC/heater in our back room, and we couldn’t be happier. Even after an incredibly stressful morning (Josh’s truck was stolen from our driveway) he and his crew still completed the job! They were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I would give them 10 stars if I could; they deserve it!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

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.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

While mound septic systems can provide cost-effective wastewater treatment in many instances, they do come at a significant initial installation cost and require a lot of space on your property for the mound and its replacement field. The installation cost is so high because this is a project that requires an exceptional level of skills and expertise to execute properly.

French drains, sump pumps, and exterior waterproofing systems are common options. Choose one that best suits your property’s needs.
