"Easy and prompt to contact and schedule. They were straightforward, prompt, and professional. They also scheduled quickly and advised me when truck was on its way to my house. They were respectful of me and my property and did an excellent job. I highly recommend them! Unlike others who are on this list who will not even give a ballpark figure for a simple pump of septic tank and want to charge just to come look at job. These are the guys you want if you need your septic pumped."

"Eric and C.J. were prompt and knowledgeable. They clearly explained the different options for service and the associated costs, and offered discounts and a coupon for next time. They were considerate of our lawn in accessing our septic tank to pump it. They were quick, professional, pleasant to work with. We will definitely use this company again for future plumbing needs."

"Tri-City Septic came out on a Tuesday to give me a quote, and the Septic system was installed by Thursday. Most others were 5 weeks out. Their quote came in several thousand dollars less than the others. They were professional and even did a few small repairs that were needed. They worked hard all day to get the job done. I would use them again."

"We had a plumber at our home for over 4 hours on 11/14/21 . He determined that our issue was the septic system. I googled for help in the Easley, SC area and reached Affordable Septic Services Upstate and my call was answered. The gentleman that answered assured me that they could be there the next morning which was 11/15/21. They arrived, evaluated the problem that was more than a full tank. He discussed it with my husband and we agreed for them to proceed. It was incredible that they completed the repair in about 2 hours, on the spot! We were extremely satisfied and highly reccommend your company and the service men were awesome!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Conventional anaerobic septic systems are the most cost-effective and least expensive type, with installation costs typically ranging from $3,000 to $8,000. For comparison, sand filter systems cost between $7,000 and $18,000, while mound systems are the most expensive at $10,000 to $20,000. Several factors influence the final price. The tank material is a key consideration; plastic tanks are the most budget-friendly option, starting around $2,900, but concrete and fiberglass tanks offer greater durability and longer life spans at a higher cost. The size of the tank also affects the price. For example, a 1,000-gallon tank costs between $900 and $1,500, whereas a larger 1,500-gallon tank costs $1,500 to $2,500.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

Getting well water tested costs $100 to $350 if done by a pro. You can also buy DIY test kits for $20 to $100, but professional tests are more reliable. You can get a comprehensive well inspection, which includes advanced water testing, for $700 to $750, which you should do yearly anyway.
