"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."
Conventional anaerobic septic systems are the most cost-effective and least expensive type, with installation costs typically ranging from $3,000 to $8,000. For comparison, sand filter systems cost between $7,000 and $18,000, while mound systems are the most expensive at $10,000 to $20,000. Several factors influence the final price. The tank material is a key consideration; plastic tanks are the most budget-friendly option, starting around $2,900, but concrete and fiberglass tanks offer greater durability and longer life spans at a higher cost. The size of the tank also affects the price. For example, a 1,000-gallon tank costs between $900 and $1,500, whereas a larger 1,500-gallon tank costs $1,500 to $2,500.
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.
Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it’s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn’t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems.
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.
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.
