"Rudy performed a thorough professional septic tank emptying and cleaning service. (Unlike the previous company that only removed the liquid - not the sludge from the system). He informed me of how a septic tank system works and showed me problems with our system. After completely emptying the tank (BOTH Sections), he rinsed down the inside of the entire tank. Also, Rudy cleaned and replaced a pvc pipe between the two sections so the system would work properly. I highly recommend R&S Pumping Services for Professional Thorough Septic Tank Maintenance. They can be trusted to do the work properly!!!"

"Quoted a price on the phone and final cost was exactly what they quoted. They were able to come to the house the next morning to pump out my septic. The man was courteous and friendly and did a thorough and neat job. Finished up in an hour and now all is well again with my septic system."

"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."

"Wayne was so nice & most patient. He easily spent an hour looking for the tank AFTER being called at the very last min to pump out a septic BEFORE the inspector arrived (the next day). He kept searching, checking with me, sending me pics on the progress of the search. I was offsite & the septic map was at home AND I hadn't lived there for 14 years. My terrible memory had Wayne looking all over the place. BUT he didn't give up. He found the tank, pumped it & THEN filled ALL the holes back in. They are the best!! Thank you Wayne for such a thorough job. I tip my hat to you!! à °à  à  à Â"

"I contacted Legend Plumbing based on their high rating from Angie's List Subscribers. I called them on Wednesday to schedule service and they were able to schedule my appointment for the next day. Bruce showed up on time and pumped the septic tank as requested. I thought the price was a little high compared to my last pump out, but that was 5-6 years ago. Perhaps the increase was appropriate given the price of diesel to run the truck and general inflation. I would definitely recommend Legend Plumbing and Will definitely use them again."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.
