"Rudy performed a thorough professional septic tank emptying and cleaning service. (Unlike the previous company that only removed the liquid - not the sludge from the system). He informed me of how a septic tank system works and showed me problems with our system. After completely emptying the tank (BOTH Sections), he rinsed down the inside of the entire tank. Also, Rudy cleaned and replaced a pvc pipe between the two sections so the system would work properly. I highly recommend R&S Pumping Services for Professional Thorough Septic Tank Maintenance. They can be trusted to do the work properly!!!"

"They were very prompt in contacting me, came out the very same day, and got my septic system back in service. Really nice service man. He was very patient with me concerning all my wrong, preconceived beliefs about septic system service. I will always use them in the future and highly recommend them."

"Baker Septic Systems did an excellent job for us replacing our old septic system with a new aerobic system. Our property is on solid rock and Bill Baker and his crew got the job done without any problems. Honest, punctual, and professional. Excellent quality work and reasonable prices. Strictly adhered to all Covid-19 guidelines. My neighbor also had him put in a system and he was extremely pleased also. Highly recommend!!!"

"My wife and I found out that the foundation underneath our home had settled and thus pulled our PVC pipes causing them to crack in numerous places. We basically needed our entire plumbing system under the house replaced.A friend referred Legend Plumbing & Septic to us and we could not have been more fortunate to work with them. Bret and Jesse were incredibly responsive and thorough in their initial inspection, describing what needed to be done, how long it would take, etc. They kept to deadlines and performed everything as planned. No hidden costs and no hidden delays. They even arranged for any sub-contract work that was needed. They handled everything with the permits and was very thorough and professional.Jesse and Bret were patient and helpful with any questions that we had and were transparent throughout the entire process. All of the workers that replaced our pipes we punctual, professional, and courteous.This was a major job that could have caused us so many headaches,but Legend Plumbing & Septic made it very stress free for us.We highly recommend Legend Plumbing & Septic for any of your plumbing needs, especially major plumbing issues!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Well water is often assumed to be hard because of its high mineral content. Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes and appliances. You can manage hard water by installing a whole-house filter system. These systems can help extend the life of your water-reliant appliances like your hot water tank and dishwasher. 

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

Septic drain fields should be at least 10 feet from the property line, though exact requirements vary by location. Some areas may require further distances, such as 25 feet or more, depending on soil conditions and local health regulations. This extension ensures proper wastewater absorption and prevents contamination of neighboring homes.

All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.

Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.
