"I called Speedy Septic July 13, 2017 to schedule pumping of my septic tank. The earliest available time was August 2 between 8 and 9 am. As that date approached, the weather was very hot and I offered to have them arrive as early as possible on the scheduled day. They arrived promptly at 7 am. It required a minimal amount of digging to uncover the septic tank. In addition to the pumping equipment, they used their own hose and water during the process, although they did ask for a hose or at least a water spigot. I did not have running water outside at the time, as I had advised when I made the appointment. The crew of two was polite and efficient and discussed with me their findings about my tank and drain field and provided recommendations for the future."

"Excellent! Marty and his partner definitely know septic systems and how to evaluate their functioning level. We were very pleased and impressed with their knowledge, work ethic and the time they spent carefully checking every part of our system and explaining what they found to us. I will definitely use them again and tell neighbors as well. Several folks in my neighborhood tried going with the lowest bids on septic issues and all three had major repercussions! It pays to hire high quality people."

"Our existing septic tank was only a few years old, but the associated drainfield was failing and required replacement. Due to a small lot, our options were limited; but rather than a huge and unsightly bottomless sand filter, we opted for a less obtrusive (but expensive) treatment unit and pumps along with the needed replaced drainfield. Cory was very helpful in explaining complex options and costs."

"Ryan and his crew were amazing--We had a major and complicated sewer pipe replacement and they were timely, did great work, and were super easy to work with. I know we got a great deal, given the size and extent of the project. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. We were joking the other day when we walked by a big hole in the ground near someone's house, "They should have hired Superior Underground!" It's true though."

"We recently moved to Salem and have a water softener for the first time.  We needed to disconnect and clean out the brine tank and were unsure of what to do, despite reading the manual and how-to's online.  I found Shiloh Water Systems with 8 great reviews on Angie's List and gave them a call.  Mike answered the phone, spent a number of minutes patiently answering my questions and asking a few pertinent ones of his own.  When I asked if I should have him come out and look at our softener, he said, "No, you're doing great, you don't need me.  But give me another call if you have a problem."  Music to my ears!  
Thanks to his guidance, we were able to replace a few small parts at a nearby hardware store, reconnect the brine tank to the softener, and knew exactly what to do to get it up and running again.
He'll definitely get our business should we need him in the future!

"We had a toilet leak that needed immediate assistance. It was after hours, but Phil was able to come and fix it quickly. He was behind knowledgeable, properly diagnosed the problem and talked me through the solution. Would definitely recommend D&F, especially Phil."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The average three to four-bedroom home typically uses a well pump rated for 8 to 12 gallons per minute (GPM). To find the most accurate size for your specific needs, a common rule of thumb is to count the number of water fixtures and appliances in your home and aim for that number in GPM. This calculation allows for about one gallon of water per minute per fixture. Because estimating the correct size can be challenging, it's best to have a professional technician make the final determination. A professional can ensure your pump provides sufficient water for your home, especially during peak usage hours.

With regular servicing and general upkeep, both a well pump and pressure tank can last for years. The average lifespan of a well pump is around eight to 15 years. A well pressure tank can last from seven to 10 years. How long a well pump and pressure tank lasts also depends on a variety of factors such as type, size, material, and brand.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.

Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.
