"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."
They can if they’re not installed correctly or if the caps or covers were dislodged by a lawn mower or other yard equipment. This is why it pays to hire a reputable septic tank company that’s experienced in septic tank installation and maintenance. You should also check caps and covers often to see that they’re in place and take measures to tighten or secure them, provided it is safe to do so.
The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.
Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.
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.
A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.
