"Jack (owner) and Cory were skilled, resourceful, and worked continuously to get the job completed in a timely manner. There were road-blocks thrown up along the way which they worked around or through. A broken sewer pipe and a collapsed tank cover were unforeseen, but corrected quickly. They had to locate two septic tanks (we as new owners did not know the locations) under a foot of snow. My wife and I were pleased with the work completed and the final bill."

"Turkey mound pump failed. We told American Pump we had an emergency situation and they got right on it - onsite within two hours. Fixed the pump, replaced the float, and pumped the septic tank. Fast, quality service with friendly, professional staff. Great price for an emergency situation too. I would definitely recommend them.

"Our septic alarm went off on a Tuesday last week so we called GGS and Mary-Lynn was great! She let us know that the first available appt was for Friday but to call back immediately if the alarm went off again. When Miguel arrived on Friday, the 11th, he thoroughly inspected the outside issue before explaining what work needed to be done and the associated costs. Both septic tanks were dug up and cleaned out. He later suggested that we have the tank lids replaced to above-ground covers so as to avoid a digging charge in the future. Unfortunately, he did not have those with him but he called the main office to have someone else finish that part of the job. The other workers (Ron and Johnny) came back on Monday, the 14th, to finish the above-ground covers. The work was done while no one was at home, but I came back to a great job. Have already recommended them to someone else.

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.

Good news: You’ll naturally increase the bacteria in your septic tank simply by using it. If you want to encourage more good bacteria growth, stop using products and household cleaners that kill bacteria, such as bleach and harsh chemicals. Never flush antibiotics, and make sure only water and waste go down the tube—not paper products, feminine hygiene products, or diapers.

If you aren’t sure if you have a septic tank or a cesspit, you can check your property records or inspect your drainage system. A septic tank has an outlet pipe that allows liquid to drain into a soakaway or drain field, while a cesspit is a sealed tank that requires frequent emptying. If you notice a manhole cover and no nearby drainage field, it’s likely a cesspit. Signs like slow drainage or a frequent need for pumping can also provide clues. A professional inspection is the easiest way to confirm if your home runs on a septic tank or cesspit.

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.
