"Mr. Rooter called me right away - literally moments after I posted my project on Angi. The technician came out about an hour and a half later and had fixed two toilets - one had gotten clogged and the other wasn't flushing right - in about 15-20 minutes. The tech also made a small repair at no extra charge to make sure one of my supply lines to the back of the toilet didn't leak. I didn't do exact price comparisons with other companies but the morning of house call + the auger for the clogged toilet + the small build repair to the second toilet came out to about $450. There may be folks who could have done it cheaper but we have company coming over this weekend and I wasn't about to not have either of my toilets in good working order. A thorough and professional job done at lightning speed was worth the rate."

"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!"

"Excellent service! Showed up when expected, very professional, courteous, (Funny :) ), knowledgable, did an excellent job on a tank not serviced since installed (23 yrs). The cover did break due to age, but they came back and replaced it without any issues. Reasonably priced, and will definitely recommend this company to anyone needing Septic services."

"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

To keep roots from growing into a septic tank. However, there are other steps you can take if existing tree roots are getting close to your septic tank. For one, you can install root barriers, which physically block roots from reaching your septic tank. You can also use chemical solutions in your yard or plumbing system to deter root growth.

Most shallow residential wells are somewhere between 25 and 50 feet deep. They are among the simplest well systems. Deeper wells usually involve drilling to a much greater depth. Water wells for household use are typically 100 to 500 feet deep, depending on local groundwater conditions. Some may be up to 1,000 feet deep or more. 

Most deep wells can be expected to last somewhere between 30 and 50 years. This assumes that the well and all of its components are properly maintained on a regular basis. During this time, it is unlikely that modern deep wells will run dry over the course of their typical lifespan. That is one of the biggest benefits of digging a deeper well. 

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.

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.
