"I felt J Bar D did what they said they would do and helped me to decide on the best product application. I would use them again. They installed a septic tank for me, however, it is for a home that is not in use yet so I've not been able to use any of the bathrooms to see how well everything works. I anticipate that all will work well and given that is the case I would then rate them with 5 stars. The delay is not due to J Bar D. It has to do with other things. I enjoyed working with the owner. I feel that his input helped me to make a beter expenditure decision."

"We hired Advanced Septic to remove a failing septic system, and install a new one. The work was done timely, and i felt like we got a very fair price. The finish work and follow through was extremely impressive. The site was grated, cleaned up, and prepped for us to replant sod and return our yard to its original beauty (which was so important, because my daughter is getting married in our back yard in 2 weeks!) Mark knew i was on a tight timeline with family coming into town, and how worried i was about the shape of yard for the ceremony. The whole Advanced crew went above and beyond to make sure i was taken care of. Thanks Advanced Septic Solutions. Y'all are the best!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.

While mound septic systems can provide cost-effective wastewater treatment in many instances, they do come at a significant initial installation cost and require a lot of space on your property for the mound and its replacement field. The installation cost is so high because this is a project that requires an exceptional level of skills and expertise to execute properly.

While you can drain water softener backwash into a septic tank, doing so may cause several problems. One problem is that increased sodium chloride levels from water softener backwash can kill septic tank bacteria, decreasing the effectiveness of this wastewater treatment system. Another issue is that large calcium deposits can eventually stop up the drain field and lead to poor drainage. 

To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.
