"I received another quote from another company (Superior Sep.) that was close to $500 vs. $390 and the other company would ALSO add an extra charge to find/dig up the clean out access cover. No hidden fees or surprises with Austin Rooter! Have already recommended their septic pumping service to my daughter who recently bought a house with a septic system. Highly recommend for both the outstanding service and VALUE which I would give 6 Stars (A+) if they had it!"

"Almost as soon as I requested a quote, I got a call from We Pump It. Walter was working another job miles away, but said he could be there the same afternoon. He quoted a price based on my description of the problem. When he arrived, Walter quickly cleaned out my septic tank, patiently answering my questions without skipping a beat. When the job was done, I paid the quoted, very reasonable price. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. I recommend We Pump It to anyone needing septic service!"

"Andrew was great. We bought an older home with a conventional tank that hadn't been maintained in a very long time. He came out within a few hours of calling him on Christmas Eve-Eve.. His price was competitive, he was very knowledgeable and even humored my teens and explained everything as they stood over him watching the process (we've never had a septic tank before!). Have already recommended to neighbors."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

Recognizing signs of a failing septic system is crucial to prevent costly damage and health hazards. Foul odors in and around your home, slow drainage in sinks and toilets, or gurgling noises in plumbing fixtures can indicate problems with drainage. Lush, green patches of grass near the drain field or wastewater pooling on the ground are alarming signs that may indicate a leak in the system. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's vital to address them promptly to avoid more extensive and expensive issues.

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

A septic alarm can sound different depending on your system, but often, it’s a loud, repetitive beeping noise or a steady, high-pitched noise. It may also be a loud buzzing noise. To confirm the noise is your septic alarm, check your alarm box for a red light. You can also silence your alarm with a red button or switch on the box. Look for something that says “Test” or “Mute.”
