"I had an emergency on a Sunday morning where my septic tanks were full. Jason came out on a short notice and handled everything including the blockage that caused the issues. I highly recommend this company."
"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."
How to size a well pressure tank is determined by three factors: flow rate, or how many gallons per minute your well pump produces; minimum runtime; and pressure switch setting. Most pressure tanks have a pressure switch operating at 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60—the first number is the pressure needed for the pump to turn on, and the second number is the pressure needed for the pump to switch off. Most homeowners relying on well water require a water pressure tank ranging from 20 to 80 gallons.
Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.
Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.
Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.
You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.
