"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

French drains, sump pumps, and exterior waterproofing systems are common options. Choose one that best suits your property’s needs.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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. 

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.
