"Wow! Doug phoned me within 20 minutes and was at my house within an hour performing several exterior waste field checks and interior tests to make sure my system was operating to standard. What a relief. Along the way, he explained in perfect detail why we were doing this and what a bad indication would look like. Very Personable, knowledgeable, approachable, professional, truck and equipment squared away...some one who loves his job and likes talking care of people. He also provided some preventive maintenance tips for us to extend our properly operating system further. He explained exactly what we should look for when and if trouble does rear its head. Great guy."

"I am delighted. Chris Oliver is incredible. He arrived on time!!!! After purveying the land, he advised me that he could overcome the hills, the stones and the creek and complete the install. He is easy to talk to, took the time to explain everything to me and yet extremely professional. He brought his equipment in ... got started and kept going until it was done. Then, he not only smoothed out and cleaned up the surface around the installation, but COMPLETELY CLEANED UP THE DRIVEWAY AND THE WALKWAYS TO INSURE THAT THERE WAS NO MUD LEFT ANYWHERE. And now, I have working toilets and plumbing in my house. I could not have asked for more."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.

A septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.

Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.

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.
