"Mr. Dutson was a dream to work with. From the very beginning, his communication was professional and he responded immediately to any questions and to setting up an appointment. At the tank, he was amazing to get the access cover off, even though it had problems with it. The tank hadn't been pumped in several years, which made the job more difficult. However, Mr. Dutson handled the job like it was easy. He was efficient and thorough, including washing the tank down. There was even something that looked like old construction debris in the tank that he was able to get out--something that the previous pumping company had left behind. Mr. Dutson was so friendly and professional. He was patient to answer all of my questions regarding septic tanks and additives. His wealth of knowledge was impressive. I would recommend him to anyone. I will always use him for my septic tank needs."

"Excellent! Couldn't be happier with Clic Homes! We had some issues due to an error made by a third party designer/architect we hired prior to enlisting Clic Homes services. However, with Clic Homes experience and exceptional customer service, they helped us quickly identify a solution. We are very happy with their work, professionalism, and attention to detail. I highly recommend them!"

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.

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.

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.

Septic drain fields should be at least 10 feet from the property line, though exact requirements vary by location. Some areas may require further distances, such as 25 feet or more, depending on soil conditions and local health regulations. This extension ensures proper wastewater absorption and prevents contamination of neighboring homes.

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.
