"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!"

"The services and work that Francisco Albaran offers to his clients is outstanding, extremely professional, respectful and friendly! I had a problem with my water heater and my plumbing in one of my showers. He was able to fix it and complete it thoroughly, which other companies couldn't and seemed like a big problem, he was able to do it! The service was quick, easy and inexpensive. You can't go wrong with it! Highly recommended !!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Soda, coffee, and other soft drinks are highly acidic. This affects the pH in septic tanks, causing them to require more frequent pumping. However, a vast majority of people don't need to worry about septic system disruption. Pouring out the occasional flat soda doesn’t affect septic systems to the same degree as the high-volume dumping from restaurants and convenience stores.

Wells typically replenish at a rate of about five gallons per minute, but several variables can influence how quickly they refill. A deep well will take more time to replenish than a shallow one. The replenishment rate can be slowed by issues such as leaks, damage, a faulty well pump, or a clogged well screen. Other factors, such as the surrounding geology, regular precipitation, and proper maintenance, also affect the recovery rate.

Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.

Yes! Toilet paper can be flushed if you use a septic tank. While unique toilet papers designed to be used with septic tanks are available, many people have no problem flushing regular toilet paper with a septic tank, so long as you don’t flush too much toilet paper all at once. Do not flush any type of baby wipes or bathroom wipes, even if they say “flushable.”

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.
