"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

Most septic tanks need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years, but it’s a good idea to monitor the fill levels of your septic tank all the time. You can do this by installing a pressure level sensor to detect the internal tank pressure, or by having a septic tank company perform an annual inspection to let you know when you’ll need to pump the tank.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

There are a few signs that indicate a failing drain field. For instance, if your septic tank starts requiring more pumping than normal, your drain field might be failing. Other signs to watch for include poor drainage after rain, standing water or sewage over the septic system, a strong septic smell outside, new and healthy grass growing over the drain field, and plumbing backups in your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets.

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

Depending on the size and location of your septic tank repair job, you may want to let the septic pros finish before tackling other backyard work. However, in some cases, it’s not a bad idea to coordinate between your providers if the timing’s right and your septic repair pro says it’s safe to do so. For instance, if the septic repair work is happening in the fall, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare your backyard landscaping for winter , or in spring, start mulching the garden beds.
