"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

While abandoning a tank without treating it and following strict rules is illegal, there are several other ways to dispose of an old septic tank. One standard method is to pump out and crush the tank where it rests and bury it in the soil. Another is to remove it and transport it to a landfill. Finally, if abandonment is the best option, your contractor must pump out the tank and fill it with inert material, such as sand or concrete, depending on local regulations.

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.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.

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.
