"I bought the new one myself, but it’s not always easy to install, and the guy was here to fix the upstairs bathroom drain needed to be fixed, so I had him do it. I get what I pay for, and they did a good job."

"Wow! Can't say enough about how amazing MB Plumbing is. I can't handle stressful situations like random leaky ceilings, long lines at the register...crying babies on airplanes..I digress. My leaky ceiling was fixed in no time and he explained everything so clearly to me. The price was reasonable and the service was prompt. I am no longer stressed (except for earlier today when my cat vomited on the rug) AMAZING MB PLUMBING! THANK YOU!!!!"

"Mike did the replacement on the hot water heater. Was very nice,professional and wanted me to understand everything. Covered the floors....I just can't say enough good about him. In this day and age to have someone come to your house and be so nice and mannerly, clean up after themselves and be there the next morning, and I called the previous night? geesh...they were wonderful! I'm very picky...you made me happy.... Lorraine B."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

A septic alarm can sound different depending on your system, but often, it’s a loud, repetitive beeping noise or a steady, high-pitched noise. It may also be a loud buzzing noise. To confirm the noise is your septic alarm, check your alarm box for a red light. You can also silence your alarm with a red button or switch on the box. Look for something that says “Test” or “Mute.”

Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.

Most deep wells can be expected to last somewhere between 30 and 50 years. This assumes that the well and all of its components are properly maintained on a regular basis. During this time, it is unlikely that modern deep wells will run dry over the course of their typical lifespan. That is one of the biggest benefits of digging a deeper well. 

Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.
