Can someone recommend a good, reliable septic contractor? We need to have our tank pumped soon. We usually use Charles Downs but they were closed last week, and haven't returned my calls on their answering machine this week. We really like them, but don't want to wait too long before getting this done. Thanks!

I agree, Wayne's Drains. He's very thorough, and I'm not just saying that cause he's a friend of mine!

How do you know your tank needs to be pumped? I'm going on 9 years without.

You need to pump it every 2 or 3 years. Don't want it to fail now since all new systems now require the new nitrogen removing technology.

Hmmm. I must be slacking as a new home owner. We have a septic also. Guess I need to keep up on things like this. Anywhere I can get some info on this new requirement? Sounds expensive :/
Really? Thought it depended on size of tank and number of family members using it. Tank sizes run from 500 gallons up to (and probably beyond) 2500 gallons.
A 1000 gallon tank and 4 family members would need a clean out every 2 to 3 years but a 2000 gallon tank with family of 4 wouldn't need the clean out until about 6 years.

I'm having Bros. Johnson come over on the 25th. Used them before, reliable.
They will do the north end.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I called Cotton's, Glover's, and Copsey's.
Prices were $225, $250, and $235.
Cotton's is coming out tomorrow.

In My Opinion
don't you need both ends of the tank cleaned?

Please tell him when I call to leave a message, I get a fax noise. Frustrating!
