"The septic tank was pumped satisfactorily. The problem we had was that our gate and latching mechanism were damage by his employee doing the work. We were told that the gate was damaged. We called Mr Andrews after we discovered that gate was damaged. Mr Andrews told me that his employees were independent contractors and were responsible for any damages that occur. Mr Andrews asked me to send him pictures and a description of the damage. He said he would have his independent contractor contact me to resolve the issue. To date we have not heard from his independent contractor or Mr Andrews to resolve the issue The company does a good pumping your septic tank but doesn't take care of any damages that they cause.

"Excellent from beginning to end.  Got a referral from a neighbor who had similar work done recently.  Had a water line (Blue Max) from our house to our barn break.  Roger Henry came out and gave me an estimate to replace that line and to replace the supply line to the house as well as a minor issue with the septic tank.   I wanted to replace the supply line to the house as well as it was also Blue Max and I knew it was only a matter of time (and if it didn't break it would be an issue when selling the house).  Roger is very experienced with this and has a drill which can drill underground for hundreds of feet, thus not disturbing the landscape.  He gave me an estimate which was higher than I got from others who would dig a trench along the entire line, but in addition to not disturbing the landscape, Roger's method will likely increase the lifetime of the line as there are no ups and downs as there would be in a trench.  Essentially they dug two holes (one for each section of line and drilled from there to either end.  Really neat.  Over 300 feet of line in all and used copper at both ends with black poly in between.   The water works great and we have more water pressure at the barn than before.  The workers were very professional and kept the interior part where they needed to access our basement clean as well.  As I said, a little more money than some others, but I have no regrets with going with Henry Excavating and their drilling method for replacement of our underground water lines.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.

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.

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
