"Warren and Angel were very well knowledgeable about HOOT septic systems and how to repair them than all of the other companies. Prices were higher but I had good feelings about them. I knew they were going to do the job correctly."

"I saw Issac, the tech, at a convenience store, 1/4 mile from my home. I asked him a few questions regarding my septic system. He told me he could follow me home and do an inspection. It was late afternoon. I'm sure he was on his way to the shop. He was by himself (no helper). He accessed both tanks, performed the necessary service, well after dark. He told me that the company advertises 24/7 and they abide by that statement."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The purpose of a septic tank is to allow solid wastes to separate out of the wastewater using time, gravity, and other natural biological processes. If your septic tank is too small, it might be overwhelmed by solid waste and unable to accomplish this task—and if it’s far too large, there won’t be enough liquid in the tank to nurture the necessary bacteria to aid in the breakdown process.

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.
