"Jason who owns Integrity Bio solutions was excelllent. We had a septic pump fail and Jason came out and fixed it today. We had family in town and were having a septic crisis. I would hire and recommend Jason to anyone. He knows what he’s doing and was very knowledgeable. Thanks again. Alice Janzen"
"Brandon was awesome. He explained everything in detail and gave us pointers on how to maintain. For a person who has never dealt with a septic tank, this was a must for me."
"Mike was fantastic to work with. We will use him for all future septic needs for SURE. Very knowledgeable and patient explaining things multiple times. Really can only say positive things! Definitely hire him over everyone elseâ - I talked to 5 companies"
"24/7 septic was fantastic! I need my tank pumped and it was brought to our attention that we had a problem with our pump. We knew something was off before this service, we just didn t know what. The 24/7 septic team was efficient and professional. They are also extremely fair priced! We spent way less than we expected. They are definitely my go to from now on!"
"Ryan D. showed up on time, helped me to evaluate the problem, and made the repair promptly. Having the peace of mind to know the repair was done correctly is worth everything (I've had terrible leak issues in the past when tenants tried to do plumbing repairs themselves). In addition to Ryan, Tiffany (who handles scheduling in the office) is great with helping work through the issues. Because I was traveling, I had a very limited window to get the work done and multiple options for accomplishing the job. The Atomic staff are excellent, and I highly recommend them!"
"We needed last minute service emptying the septic tank and they came out two hours later! Wonderful service it wasnâ t complicated. It wasnâ t as cheap as it otherwise probably wouldâ ve been with more notification and a regular appointment. But it was still well worth the money."
"Elite Pro Septic installed an aerobic septic system for me. I was very happy with their professionalism and the quality of their work. They kept me informed and answered all my questions."
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.
With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen.
If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.
There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.
A septic smell may be harmful because sewer gas is dangerous depending on the exposure amount and length of time. Sewer gas is made up of multiple gases, including hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Some of these gases, like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are toxic to humans and can be fatal in high concentrations or long exposures.
Septic tanks appear full after pumping because the liquid levels have returned to normal. If you can see the pipe, the tank is empty. However, heavy rain can cause septic tanks to fill faster than normal. You might also have leaky pipes or faucets, causing extra water to drip down the drains and into the septic tank.
