"Shaun and his crew did a great job. Our property was completely flooded, and was very difficult for the guys to work here. We literally had a huge mud hole in the back of the house, that caused them all kinds of issues and problems. But they did a great professional job, regardless of everything . They overlooked the conditions and saw the greater need. I would recommend Shaun and his crew to anyone needing a new septic system."

"John showed up and started working right away. He assessed the system and knew immediately and exactly what was going on. Our septic system had not been cleaned out properly the past several times VIA other companies. Of the 500gal first tank less than 200gal was available to be used as the rest was totally solid. He and his co-worker dug up the lid and slid it open to do a SERIOUS clean out. I saw what was in there and no wonder it did not work properly! He took his time and cleaned every last thing out of the system! I mean EVERYTHING! When he was done you could see the walls and the bottom. Super friendly, super helpful and explained everything and more. I will never call another service out; these are my go-to guys!!!"

"Professional. My husband was out of town and I needed help. They emailed me right away I contacted them and scheduled appointment the same day. They worked in the rain. They gave me options they didn't pressure me. They saved me money. I signed a contract with them to service my septic tank for 1 year. I plan to tell my HOA about them at our next meeting."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

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.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

The ideal depth of a septic drain field is 18 to 36 inches below the surface. The trenches must be deep enough to allow proper wastewater distribution and filtration while remaining shallow enough for oxygen to reach the soil, promoting bacterial activity that helps break down contaminants. In areas with high groundwater or poor drainage, shallower systems like mound drain fields may be required.
