"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

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.

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.

You may notice a septic smell in your yard after it rains if groundwater is entering your septic tank and causing it to overflow. If you experience septic odors after rainfall, contact a licensed plumber. They can construct a drain to redirect rainwater away from your septic tank. 

If you notice that your well pump runs continuously, it’s important to take action quickly to avoid further damage. A few common issues may be to blame for a continuously running well pump, such as mechanical damage, a faulty pressure control switch, low water level, prime loss, and leaking pipes and fixtures.

Buying a well drilling kit will save you money over hiring a professional. That said, digging a well is risky. If you make an error, you may have to get help fixing it. Also, the DIY costs are still pretty hefty when considering everything needed to complete the project successfully. You’ll need to account for the permit, pump, water tank, and more. If you don’t feel comfortable taking the necessary precautions to tackle this on your own, go with a pro.
