We are a septic and sewer tank pumping company. We service, repair, and maintain all types of septic systems, as well as for sale and other required inspections. We also provide commercial grease trap pumping. We are a small family owned company that have had 15 plus years of experience with a reputable company and decided to break out on our own. J & G septic services offers free quotes on your septic and sewer needs, and offers discounts to military, fire, police and rescue members. We accept all major credit cards, cash or checks.

"We had our septic worked on March 21,2025. We were referred to this company by our realtor who used them in previous transactions with the company agreeing to allow payment at time of closing on the house sale. The owner of the company agreed to do the work with payment taken out at the closing of our house on March 31st. Despite this agreement I received an invoice the day of the work completion and a late payment notice two days after. I was told not to pay as there was an agreement to pay at settlement on March 31. Our closing ended up getting pushed back due to our buyer with no fault of our own. This was communicated to the company. On April 9 I was sent an email from Sara stating that they were not a bank and would refer the acct to collections. I asked why they were going back on their agreement to allow us to pay at closing and was told I could talk to their lawyer. I agreed to pay before this and was sent to an invoice link that didn’t work and therefore I couldn’t pay. The next day I received a new invoice for charges that included a lawyer consult and the fee for issuing my husband and I a warrant of debt, despite telling them multiple times we were paying. I called the court system and there was no warrant or legal filings. Sara completely fabricated an invoice in an attempt to get more money out of my family. We paid for this service and I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy. I am positive there will be a reply justifying this behavior, however, I think it’s imperative to future consumers that you understand this company has terrible customer service and absolutely no concept of legal contracts and the proper way to request payments. Avoid at all costs."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn’t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there’s a problem with your drain field. Repairing a drain field costs an average of $2,000 to $15,000.

Septic tank risers are indeed a wise choice for homeowners. They provide easy access to your septic tank, streamlining maintenance and inspection processes while potentially saving you money in the long term on multiple excavation jobs. With risers in place, you can proactively address septic issues before they escalate into costly problems, ensuring the longevity of your system. Moreover, compliance with local regulations that require risers can prevent fines or penalties, making them a valuable addition to any septic system.

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.
