"You need to hire A Advanced Septic if you need work done! So these are the specifics: 12" Riser and lid installed, 24" Riser and lid installed, tank repealed which included digging down and around the septic tank, exposing the tank below line penetrations, per and clean tank surface, sealed inlet and outlet penetration into tank, applied Jet-set to tank bottom and seam, remove and re-seal riser assemblies, wrap exterior and top of tank with moist barrier, and then back-filled the whole area. And this is the rest of the story: My husband just died in December 2020. Of course everything went wrong after that. We had heavy rains and my sump pump overflowed into the basement - our living area. It seems that the previous owner did NOT direct the drain for the sump pump into the septic tank - and we still have to find out where it drains to. But anyway, the floor flooded (laminate flooring), all the rugs were damaged, the walls soaked up water, and all of that has to be fixed. While the plumber was working on the sump pump he looked at the septic tank and found that it needed resealing - because the previous owner did a do-it-yourself- fix with a cheap septic pump and illegal modifications. The septic tank had to be pumped PLUS the septic pump had to be replaced - to the tune of $3,000.00. But because the tank had to be resealed so it wouldn't happen again, they could not guarantee the pump if there were more heavy rains before the re-sealing was done. Bob Larson Plumbing, LLC called A Advanced Septic to help me and they sent Travis out to look at the situation and write up an estimate; the following week they were here fixing everything. They can't fix my basement floor or walls or correct where to drain the sump pump, but it is such a relief to know that the septic tank is not going to fail the next time it rains! The technicians were knowledgeable, timely, efficient and friendly. I am so grateful for the work they did, especially at a very high stress time for me having just lost my husband and then the flood in the house and then the septic tank pump not working."

"The owner, Deep, can only be described as an absolute rock star. He was extremely persistent until he found and resolved the root of the problem. He first used a camera, quickly found the clog, and cleared it with the snake in order to use the jet. He jetted the entire kitchen drain but it was still holding water. I'm on septic; he went outside to the septic vent to ensure the jet had reached the main pipe, which it had. Deep found a lot of thick, gluey grease and jetted it through, and then discovered, with the camera, something else plugging the kitchen line. He had a cool contraption, like a metal detector, that he used to reveal where the clog was. He then went into my crawl space, cut out a good 6-8 feet of pipe, and found this nasty, hardened grease that looked like concrete. He replaced the pipe and everything now works like a charm!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

With so much available information about the ecological effects of cesspools (and their general unpleasantness), it begs the question: Are cesspools legal? In short, sort of. Large-capacity cesspools that serve more than 20 people are completely illegal countrywide. Existing, smaller cesspools are generally allowed as long as they’re not actively polluting. However, new cesspools are illegal to build in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and many states offer programs to help homeowners with the costs of updating cesspools to modern septic systems.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Yes. Amongst the four most common types of septic tanks—plastic, fiberglass, concrete, and steel—those made of concrete are the most expensive. This is the case for a few reasons, including the fact that they’re very heavy, so pros have to use specialized equipment to install them. However, they’re also incredibly durable, making the price worth it if it’s in your budget.

Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it’s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.
