"Overall very good - came out quickly, completed repair the same day and also let me know about some additional issues they found that I was able to fix myself. The price seemed a little high but I don't have a lot to compare it to. I was just glad to get it fixed so quickly."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The main difference between a mound septic system and a conventional one is that the drain field in a mound system is built up into a mound composed of sand and gravel to increase the filtration time the wastewater sees before it is returned to the aquifer. There’s also a significant cost difference, with mound systems typically costing far more than standard septic systems.

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

Several things can ruin a septic tank over time, including dumping harsh chemicals (like bleach and ammonia), pesticides, and paint thinners down your drain because they can kill the bacteria in your septic tank. You should also make sure to only flush waste and toilet paper in your toilet—otherwise, you could clog your system.

Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it’s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn’t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems. 

It only takes a few days for a septic tank to fill with water after a pro has pumped it. This is completely normal, and the water is a vital part of your septic system’s wastewater treatment process. The water that fills your tank days after pumping is not the same as the tank being filled with waste. You shouldn’t have to pump your septic system more than once every three to five years unless you have a tank that’s too small for your home’s water output or there’s a problem with your leach field.
