"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."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

Hello, my name is Matthew Mulholland and I’m the owner operator of First Call Plumbing and Service LLC. With 13 years in the plumbing and excavation trade, it was time to start my own, and have the ability to correct the unpopular aspects of your typical plumbing business. Times are changing and the trades are growing so it’s time plumbing gets a new name. It’s not all about sewage and dirt and laying under a sink. It’s about meeting new customer, building relationships with customers and building a name with integrity, loyalty, and dependability. At my young age of 30 years old. I’ve set out to change the way people view plumbing and look at a plumber. With education and brains first.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

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.

DIY is not recommended due to safety and technical requirements. Hire professionals for accurate diagnosis and repair.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.
