"Warren and Angel were very well knowledgeable about HOOT septic systems and how to repair them than all of the other companies. Prices were higher but I had good feelings about them. I knew they were going to do the job correctly."

"I saw Issac, the tech, at a convenience store, 1/4 mile from my home. I asked him a few questions regarding my septic system. He told me he could follow me home and do an inspection. It was late afternoon. I'm sure he was on his way to the shop. He was by himself (no helper). He accessed both tanks, performed the necessary service, well after dark. He told me that the company advertises 24/7 and they abide by that statement."

"John showed up and started working right away. He assessed the system and knew immediately and exactly what was going on. Our septic system had not been cleaned out properly the past several times VIA other companies. Of the 500gal first tank less than 200gal was available to be used as the rest was totally solid. He and his co-worker dug up the lid and slid it open to do a SERIOUS clean out. I saw what was in there and no wonder it did not work properly! He took his time and cleaned every last thing out of the system! I mean EVERYTHING! When he was done you could see the walls and the bottom. Super friendly, super helpful and explained everything and more. I will never call another service out; these are my go-to guys!!!"

"Did a good job but replace the lid which left the tank open. I am glad my grand children where not visiting. Also left a 4' pvc with a tee laying on top of my septic system. Techs answered all of my questions and were very polite"

"They did a good job and had to search for the tank and field pipes , my only criticism would be if you are going to dig in a garden then why not lift the grass as a sod , as it would be easy to replace after and would leave a neater ,faster healing job ."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Neither system is necessarily better or worse than the other, but one of the two might be better for your needs. For example, anaerobic systems are less expensive than aerobic ones and don’t use power to run. On the other hand, aerobic septic systems don’t take up as much space and are typically more efficient than their anaerobic counterparts.

Unfortunately, yes. If your well pump continues working when the flow of water is completely blocked, the motor will burn up. The energy has nowhere to go, thanks to the blockage, so it turns inward. The end result? A ruined well pump and a depleted bank account (once you shop for a replacement.) 

Common signs that a septic tank is full include plumbing issues, odors, and changes in your yard. You may notice wastewater or sewage backing up into your home's drains, or that sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the pipes are also a key indicator. Outside, you might smell foul sewage odors around your house or the septic tank area. Look for pooling water, spongy soil, or a marshy environment around the drain field. Another tell-tale sign is a patch of grass over the septic system that is suddenly lusher and greener than the rest of your lawn. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic professional for an inspection and pumping.

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.
