"I contacted Andy from Area Septic Installation Inc. because I was selling my house and the septic system did not pass the inspection. I normally contact 3 providers to get the best price. Andy was the only one to call me back and to come out to the house. Andy was very friendly, and provided me with great information and no hassle/pressure bid. Because I was selling the house there was a tight deadline on getting the work done. The time of year that I needed the work done is extremely busy and the weather did not cooperate. Andy also took time to explain to me some of the deceptive practices in this line of work and cautioned me not to become victimized. I thought that in and of itself was remarkable that he gave me this information so I would not become victimized. Andy showed up on the day he said he would be there, and got to work immediately. Andy knew that I was on a tight deadline to close and he worked long and extra hours to get the job done. His price was very reasonable for the work that needed to be done. Andy did everything to make this as easy as possible, and did a great job. When the work was completed Andy wanted me to come check the work to make sure it was up to my satisfaction before he left. Andy had the yard looking great back to its natural look. If you are in need of septic work I would strongly suggest calling Area Septic Installation Inc. for the work. Hard workers, Honest contractor, and fair pricing what more could you want. Jim Z."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

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.

If your leach field becomes clogged or saturated, it can cause several problems with your home's septic system. The clog can cause sewage to back up into your home, leading to unpleasant odors and mess. A backed-up septic system can be a health hazard, particularly if the sewage starts to leach into the ground surrounding the leach field.

There are several ways to fix a saturated drain field, including cleaning out your septic tank, adding enzymes and additives to your drain system, and installing a larger septic system.
