"The septic tank was pumped satisfactorily. The problem we had was that our gate and latching mechanism were damage by his employee doing the work. We were told that the gate was damaged. We called Mr Andrews after we discovered that gate was damaged. Mr Andrews told me that his employees were independent contractors and were responsible for any damages that occur. Mr Andrews asked me to send him pictures and a description of the damage. He said he would have his independent contractor contact me to resolve the issue. To date we have not heard from his independent contractor or Mr Andrews to resolve the issue The company does a good pumping your septic tank but doesn't take care of any damages that they cause.

"Excellent from beginning to end.  Got a referral from a neighbor who had similar work done recently.  Had a water line (Blue Max) from our house to our barn break.  Roger Henry came out and gave me an estimate to replace that line and to replace the supply line to the house as well as a minor issue with the septic tank.   I wanted to replace the supply line to the house as well as it was also Blue Max and I knew it was only a matter of time (and if it didn't break it would be an issue when selling the house).  Roger is very experienced with this and has a drill which can drill underground for hundreds of feet, thus not disturbing the landscape.  He gave me an estimate which was higher than I got from others who would dig a trench along the entire line, but in addition to not disturbing the landscape, Roger's method will likely increase the lifetime of the line as there are no ups and downs as there would be in a trench.  Essentially they dug two holes (one for each section of line and drilled from there to either end.  Really neat.  Over 300 feet of line in all and used copper at both ends with black poly in between.   The water works great and we have more water pressure at the barn than before.  The workers were very professional and kept the interior part where they needed to access our basement clean as well.  As I said, a little more money than some others, but I have no regrets with going with Henry Excavating and their drilling method for replacement of our underground water lines.

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.

Septic tank locations are sometimes public record, although it depends on local laws and the property age. Older properties may not have the septic tank information on public record. To check, you can talk to local permitting agencies, such as your local health department, the local environmental department, or the county clerk.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.
