"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

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

Costs depend on tank accessibility, size, and local rates. Regular service serves as preventive care, averting costly emergency repairs or system replacements.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.
