"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

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

With proper maintenance, most types of septic systems—including mound, evapotranspiration, and constructed wetland systems—can last up to 40 years. To keep your system running as long as possible, follow basic septic tank upkeep guidelines, like pumping your septic tank every three to five years and only flushing human waste and toilet paper.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Consider site conditions, soil type, required capacity, and system designs compatible with environmental protection regulations.
