"My experience with Apex Septic was 10 out of 10! Matthew was there at the very beginning, explaining in detail the pros and cons of each system and the permits I would need. He went above and beyond, making a daunting, challenging and sometimes confusing project crystal clear and easier to navigate. I would hire Apex again and highly recommend!"

"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."

"My husband and I were so overwhelmed due to finding sitting water behind our home by our septic field on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We called C and R Services on that same Sunday around 5pm and Gerald answered and was very informative. He had us check a few things around our home before he made an appointment to drive out to us. We checked everything he mentioned and sure enough it was exactly what he had us check on. We turned the water off to our running toilet and called him back. He saved us so much time and money and we are so thankful for C and R Services. Now we can enjoy our Thanksgiving and family without stressing about how we are going to fix our septic and how much is it going to be. Any other company would have charged us to come out and not have tried to help us figure out what was going on over the phone. C and R Services is Awesome! I am definitely going to recommend them to everyone I know."

"Very thorough, he found that we had a dual septic tank, which he emptied as well as the first. Fair pricing; maintained his quoted price even after discovering the dual tank, with separate entry, which took longer. Personable employees. Would recommend this company."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

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.

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.

Getting well water tested costs $100 to $350 if done by a pro. You can also buy DIY test kits for $20 to $100, but professional tests are more reliable. You can get a comprehensive well inspection, which includes advanced water testing, for $700 to $750, which you should do yearly anyway.
