"I hired this company to replace my laundry sink because the drain line between the trap and the basin was rusted out. They recommended a new sink, which was fine. When the plumber arrived, he told me there was unnecessary piping next to the sink, so he cut it out and capped it. However, after installing the new sink, it now drains extremely slowly — which was never an issue before. When I asked about the slow drain, they claimed my vent stack was clogged and insisted it had nothing to do with the pipes they removed. That seems like quite a coincidence to me, but okay. The bigger problem is that while the plumber was professional in some ways, he was not helpful and was very aggressive — even borderline threatening — toward my wife when she asked about a return trip to resolve the issue. That is absolutely unacceptable behavior."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

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.

The right psi for your well pressure tank depends on the tank’s pressure settings. For instance, if yours is set to 30/50 psi (which is common), the ideal psi is 2 to 3 psi below the cut-on pressure—in other words, 27 to 28 psi. However, if it’s at a higher setting of 40/60 psi, 38 psi would be the appropriate level.

A septic tank lasts 15 to 20 years on average. This life span will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. Clogging caused by plant roots or flooding from groundwater can decrease that life span. To avoid these issues, have a pro inspect your tank regularly and perform routine maintenance, such as pumping out the tank.
