"I’ve used Kobella Plumbing, Heating & Cooling several times and I’m extremely pleased with all of their services. Started with a hot water tank replacement, then onto a new HVAC System and whole house plumbing repairs and updates. Mike and his team are fabulous as well as extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fair. They explain the project work, answer all questions and provide a clear cost estimate. They are a proven local business that I highly recommend. Class act!"

"Office staff were very responsive, calling back within an hour, even over lunch, and scheduling next-day (non-emergency) service on a Saturday to fit my schedule. Plumbing tech was delayed a few hours, but their office phoned ahead to notify me. Tech gave a quote that wasn't as competitive, but amicably negotiated a reasonable price. Surprised the tech didn't have the necessary part in his truck, but he ran out and picked it up immediately. Two days since then, everything still seems to be working safely."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don’t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.
