"Rob Hopson pumped our septic tank and did a real estate tank inspection for us. He was very thorough and did quality work. He was very reasonably priced as well. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone wants the job done right without breaking the bank!"

"They did great work, in a timely manner, and it was great being able to leave it in their hands. He took the time to consult with me on how we could decommission my previous septic system, laid everything out and made himself available for questions, and then I was allowed to make an informed decision. That is just the kind of excellent customer service I needed considering it was a big job requiring extensive digging in order to set up a new drain field and tank for my septic. Definitely a great experience working with Nathan. I was so impressed I hired them for a second, smaller, project and I have offered to let them put a sign in my yard they did such a great job. I highly highly recommend them."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

Most home wells start at 100 feet, and many go as deep as 200 or 300 feet. 

It takes quite a lot of water to meet the demands of showers, toilets, faucets, and appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines, and shallow wells struggle to provide this amount quickly. If you anticipate having high water usage in the future, it’s often better to drill slightly deeper and give yourself a bit more water storage than you need.

Schedule annual inspections, test water pressure, and protect the pump from freezing temperatures.

There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn’t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there’s a problem with your drain field. Repairing a drain field costs an average of $2,000 to $15,000.

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.
