"Zoom was out quickly to address the situation, however felt the septic system should be drained first rather than spending money to investigate the issue if it turned out to be the tank. I readily agreed. After the tank was cleaned, I called again and they were out the same day, early in fact. I had them do the jet procedure rather than the snake since it hadn't been done in the twenty years I lived here. That came with a scoping. The drain was cleared and he found a break at the wye that needed to be addressed. He used a different device to plant a flag for the pipeline repair people to fix the problem. I negotiated the cost with the fellow that came out to estimate the job after doing the excavation to the pipe myself. The flagged point was exactly where the break was. The prices was reasonable and I had them do the job. We arranged for the team to come out in late afternoon and I got a call that they could be there even earlier. Back in business and very thankful."

"flooding in my area caused about 2 feet of water to come into the lower part of my home and had damaged everything and the septic tank alert alarm system had failed and I did not know if my septic tank was pumping or not because of so much water on the property. After the waters had drained off outside and mostly out of the house, I called John Gmelch for help. John was very professional, knowledgeable and polite he came right away and checked my septic tank outside and tested my septic tank alert alarm inside and found the trouble was the septic tank alert alarm had burned out and he replaced it at a reasonable cost and now it operates prefect. Take my advise put John Gmelch as #1 on your list, I highly recommend him. Thank you John."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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.

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.
