"Seth was very knowledgeable about my problem. I had split hot water pipes under my mobile home. It's hard to find a company that will work on mobile homes. As soon as I mentioned my problem, he was quick to say "I can help, and I'll be there same day. His price was very reasonable. He told me of other problems I might have. He said when and if you need me, give me a call. He never pressured me to get more work done, I found that very refreshing. Other than doing great work, he a really kind guy! I would definitely refer him, and when I'm ready for more work......he's my go to! Thanks Seth!!!!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

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.

You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.

If your leach field becomes clogged or saturated, it can cause several problems with your home's septic system. The clog can cause sewage to back up into your home, leading to unpleasant odors and mess. A backed-up septic system can be a health hazard, particularly if the sewage starts to leach into the ground surrounding the leach field.

There are several ways to fix a saturated drain field, including cleaning out your septic tank, adding enzymes and additives to your drain system, and installing a larger septic system.

Septic systems typically require servicing every 3-5 years, but frequency varies according to household size and tank capacity.
