"We had just purchased our home and after a few days found that the septic system was having a problem - it smelled terribly. A septic contract was a required part of the purchase, however, after 2 months that company was making no headway in getting it fixed and we were unhappy and our neighbors were becoming annoyed with the smell too (understandably so.) We decided to try Total Septic upon recommendation of another neighbor. They were able to schedule our service for the next day. After a few minutes diagnostics, their technician felt confident he knew the issue and went to go get parts. That same afternoon, he replaced the air pump and verified aeration of the tank and explained it would take about 4-7 days to clear the smell. It did and we are extremely happy. I'm not the greatest fan of "star" ratings, but to explain my own below: 1) Work Quality 4.5/5, could it have been better (how it was mounted, setup, etc, yes, but for the price, I think they did a great job and anything more, probably would have required more time and more planning, nonetheless, those options weren't presented, so as close to a '5' as you can get. 2) Customer Service - Absolutely a '5' - Hands down excellent. They did not require a bunch of coordination or paperwork before coming out, they just made the appointment and fixed the problem asking for payment immediately after. We also chose to sign a support contract with them so we can continue to enjoy their excellent service. 3) Value for the money - I had priced replacement pumps and thought that was the problem, but I would be taking a gamble that my uneducated diagnosis from internet information was wrong. I received expert service and experience as well as same-day replacement for nearly the same price. In summary, I could not be happier with the service and people at Total Septic!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

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.

Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it’s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn’t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems. 

A mound septic system, when properly maintained, can last between 20 and 25 years on average—though some last longer or malfunction sooner than that. The most important part of maintenance is getting an annual inspection of the vital parts of the system to ensure they’re in proper working order and not too backed up with sewage.
