"I had a tankless water heater installed but needed the gas line to be dug from the other side of the house for it to be connected. The job was complicated but Luke and his crew from Mr. Rooter did a great job! I would totally hire them again for any plumbing needs."

"I had standing water in my yard for some time now and I needed someone asap to adress the drainage problem in my back yard. I contacted them through home advisor and Blaine got back to me within minutes. Within hours he was at my home talking me through the work that would be done and the next day I received a bid. He had an operator on the site within a week of initial contact and the work performed was exactly executed to the specifications they laid out for me for the initial bid. The men were on time everyday and took no breaks except to go on lunch. The work afterwards was immaculate, absolutely perfect, the way I envisioned. Blaine sent me an invoice and it was in the range he quoted me for the work. I would highly recommend them for their professionalism, work ethic, and great pricing for otherwise expensive work. I would highly recommend them"

"These guys were exceptional! Brian was responsive, informative and flexible. His guys were nothing short of miracle workers. They took a job that two other bidders said couldn't be done by one company and they did it. And cleaned up after themselves. I hope I never have a job like this again, but if I do, I'm going with Elliott and Son."

"Keith's was punctual, and was able to quickly locate the septic tank. They uncovered the tank, filled it for inspection, inspected it and the back-flow preventer, located the field lines, and pumped the tank. They provided a field-written report with a site sketch showing the location, along with a discussion of the issues found and recommendations."

"I highly recommend Nate and his crew. They gave us a very reasonable price, had great communication, and performed top of the line work. I was extremely impressed with the footers they dug on our new construction home and would 100% hire them again."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.

The best bacteria to add to a septic tank is anaerobic bacteria, which doesn't use oxygen to break down solid waste. Because there is less oxygen in a septic tank, anaerobic bacteria can decompose sludge in a sealed environment. On the other hand, aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are prevalent in the leach or drain field of a septic system.

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.

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.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.
