"They called us right back and came to service our house that day. We opted to replace our water heater instead of repairing it because it was close to 15 years old. They purchased and replaced our water heater that day. They were professional, and we appreciated there timely response. We would recommend them to family and friends."

"Extremely pleased with the service. My massive shared septic tank was clogged with grease and over-flowing into the yard so It needed pumping. It was done in a timely manner and in rough weather conditions at a very affordable cost. Also great communication from Sherrill. Highly recommended!"

"I had a blockage that was at the septic tank inlet. Chris came out on Memorial Day and took care of my issue. Chris did not charge an extra $200.00 like the other listed vendor quotedor a $50.00 charge to find the lid to my tank. He saved me over $300.00. I am very happy."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

With proper maintenance, most types of septic systems—including mound, evapotranspiration, and constructed wetland systems—can last up to 40 years. To keep your system running as long as possible, follow basic septic tank upkeep guidelines, like pumping your septic tank every three to five years and only flushing human waste and toilet paper.

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. 

To determine the right size for your submersible well pump, find your well depth, water demand, and well casing diameter. The pump should match your well's specifications and meet or exceed your drawdown and pressure requirements. 

For precise sizing, make sure to research the different well pump sizes, consult the manufacturer's recommendations, or seek guidance from a professional well pump installer.

Yes, it is generally okay to oversize a well pressure tank, and it will not harm your well system. The primary advantage is that a larger tank reduces frequent pump cycling, leading to longer, slower cycles with fewer startups. This can result in less wear and tear, potentially increasing the lifespan of the pump and conserving energy. However, there are drawbacks to consider. Oversized tanks have a higher upfront cost and require more physical space. While not necessarily a bad thing, opting for a tank that is appropriately sized for your well is often the most efficient choice in terms of cost and space.

You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they’re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.
