"These guys have been great so far. When they came out, they informed us of our county's requirements for septic systems, did a thorough inspection, and answered ALL my questions (new to septic systems, so I had a lot). They came back to complete some needed repairs. They're prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend."

"Dwayne is incredible. Previous home owners did not disclose that the septic was collapsed and within a few months of living here the system would immediately backup into the house with the smallest amount of water, you can imagine the smell and mess that made. I called other septic companies and had trouble even getting them to show up and when they did most either wouldn't take the job because of challenges with replacing the system or would quote ridiculous amounts. I lucked into finding Dwayne and Total Septic and he showed the day after I called him, immediately started looking for solutions to the challenges my house had and quoted me the best price by far. After placing the system in, my general contractor abandoned our project because he had not submitted for any permits for the job he was doing and took off with about 60k of our money. Without permits Dwayne was not able to complete the install and the tank set exposed in ground for 6 months while I dealt with the city and legal. In that time, the hole flooded floating the tank and and snapping the piping. Once the permits were in, Dwayne came out immediately and pulled the tank out fixed all the pipes and had it working perfecting and buried in a day. For this extra effort that was no fault of his, he charged me 500 dollars. He could have charged pretty much anything at that point and I would have had to pay, but that is not the kind of guy he is. Since installing the system I have had two issues come up and both times they were out to fix either the same day or the next day. I could not recommend more Total Septic for any septic project you have. I am a lifetime customer and in a world like ours right now where 75% of the contractors are unreliable or just flat crooked, it was such a relief to find someone I could trust."

"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!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Concrete septic tank risers are heavier and more durable than plastic or fiberglass ones, making them suitable for long-term use. Installing a concrete riser differs from installing plastic or fiberglass risers primarily in the materials and methods used. The process involves cutting the concrete risers to the required length and then stacking them, using concrete sealant or adhesive between sections for secure attachment. Due to their weight, extra care is necessary during leveling and the attachment of sections. Concrete sealant or adhesive may also require a curing before the riser is ready for use.

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

Although air in your water lines won’t affect the overall quality of your water, it will lead to problems with your well water system if not addressed. Over time, too much air in your water lines can create blockages in your pipes, cause insufficient water flow to your taps and appliances, loosen pipes, and potentially damage important components of your well including your well pump and pressure tank. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

A septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.
