A+!"  Austin from Angels Camp

“I  had a great experience. Beth was very helpful and professional on the  phone. Nick was on time, and he did a great job. He showed me what he  was doing, answered all of my questions, and he went above and beyond by  fixing an issue the previous owner of my current home left me.

They are a well run  family owned business that I will be using again!”  Beth from San Francisco

“I  had an emergency septic problem today and within an hour kick was at  our house on top of it! Then he suggested having an electrician come  look at our pump, breaker, and unit (I'm no electrician so the terms may  be a little different). I agreed and before nick left he contacted a  local electrician who was also out within an hour or 2. "Slim" was his  name and he did an excellent job as well. Then nick came back after slim  finished and closed up. Great pricing, stand up guy, and excellent  work. We've had him help us twice in the past and we receive the same  quality of service every time. Can't say enough good things about this  guy.”  J.M. from Sonora

"First,  the call in to schedule was right away and easy. They came out as  planned with a friendly call before arrival. Assessed the area and got  right to it. Dug down to 2nd lid, that I had no idea existed and  explained many things along the way. These guys educated me on the  entire system and did a fantastic job. Didn't even charge me for the  extra digging. The only thing was, their jokes were a bit sh***y. An  absolute pleasure to work with.”  Ryan from Livermore

"I  just wanted to say thank you for sending the very informative pamphlet  on septic maintenance, as well as accommodating us this last weekend  with emptying our septic tank on  a SATURDAY.  My husband and I really appreciated your service...

When  you have a septic system, you are the owner of the sewer treatment  plant on your property. It is very important that you know where it is  and develop a maintenance plan.
 

The  #1 thing to know about your septic system is "Where is it?" The septic  tank is the heart of the septic system. Tanks should be opened, checked,  and pumped at least every 3-5 years to ensure that roots are not  gaining a foothold and that the inlet/outlet lines are functioning  properly.
 

Did  you know that as solids build up, they filter through from the solid  side into the effluent side of the septic tank? They then fill the tank  with sludgy solids which will eventually filter through into the leach  lines. When this occurs, the system will continue to work for a period  of time; however when large amounts of sludge solids are passed out to  the field, they will cause pre-mature system failure.
 

Q: How often should my septic tank be pumped?
A:  On average, a septic tank should be pumped every 3-5 years, depending  on the condition of the septic system and the volume of usage.
 

Q: I have a running toilet in my house, does this affect my septic system?
A: YES! Running toilets are notorious culprits for causing septic system problems. Check your toilet(s) regularly for leaks.
