"Bosley drain and septic was amazing, Josh and Jennifer were great. I needed to have my septic system completely replaced. They were extremely helpful, they explained the entire process, and answered my many questions. They were in constant contact keeping me updated on how the process was progressing. I won’t use anyone else for my septic needs, Josh and Jennifer at Bosley drain and septic are the ones you need to reach out to for any septic needs!"

"Joe at Septic Surgeons took time to explain not only how his soil fracturing technique works, but how my septic system functions. His crew was out to my home and worked very hard to fix my problem. Repairing my septic system using the Septic Surgeon's soil fracturing was a third of the cost of a new system. I am very satisfied with Septic Surgeons."

"Conner did an amazing job locating the problems with a collapsed sewer pipe. He dug up and repaired 2 breaks in the line. He also installed 2 new risers over the inlet and outlet. He was very professional and did the job on time as described. I highly recommend him for any issues with septic or drain pipes."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

While abandoning a tank without treating it and following strict rules is illegal, there are several other ways to dispose of an old septic tank. One standard method is to pump out and crush the tank where it rests and bury it in the soil. Another is to remove it and transport it to a landfill. Finally, if abandonment is the best option, your contractor must pump out the tank and fill it with inert material, such as sand or concrete, depending on local regulations.

Several things can ruin a septic tank over time, including dumping harsh chemicals (like bleach and ammonia), pesticides, and paint thinners down your drain because they can kill the bacteria in your septic tank. You should also make sure to only flush waste and toilet paper in your toilet—otherwise, you could clog your system.

The smallest septic system available for purchase typically includes a 750-gallon tank. However, the smallest size you can legally install is determined by local regulations, and many areas require a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons. The cost to install a small septic system generally ranges from $2,910 to $13,900. Before proceeding, it is essential to check with your local health department or consult a local septic professional to confirm the minimum legal requirements in your area.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.
