"Josh Smith from J& R Drain Service was one of the most honorable plumbers I've met in a long time. We have a rental property in an old beautiful home in a historic district in Dayton. Our water heater burst and our tenants were scrambling to save their things from water damage and ruin. We didn't know what to do so we posted on Home Adviser but called R*** R***t** to get emergency services. Less than 2 minutes after I made the call to R**R***, Josh Smith from J&R called me. The guy from RR was great and knowledgeable but his prices were outrageous! I called Josh S back and offered him a chance to bid. He agreed to do the service for the price I was willing to pay, which was $500 less than RR! He even came back the next day to do extra work. He treated my home like he was working on his own. I'm very grateful to have found him I appreciate Josh and J&R. Thanks Josh, I owe you a beer!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can’t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren’t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.

If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.
