"Mike Langley Excavating did an amazing job with our project. Our plan was to demolish an old garage and place a new one on the same spot. When digging out the old concrete Mike found that the earth below was unstable in that area and recommended we not rebuild in that spot. He quickly helped us develop a new plan which will give my husband an even larger garage. We are so thankful that Mike advised us and helped us with an alternative plan. They were prompt, kind and did a little extra work that wasn't in our original estimate due to the complications we faced. If you want quality work that will not have to be redone in a few years Mike Langley Excavating is the one to choose for your project. Would hire again in an instant! Thank you Mike Langley!"

Crawlspace Doctor was established in Bloomington, Indiana in 2002. Crawlspace Doctor was one of the first companies in the country to exclusively implement the practice of conditioned/ un-vented crawlspaces. We were perfecting our methods when almost everyone else still believed in vented crawlspaces. Over time conditioned crawlspaces became the preferred method for constructing crawlspaces under homes. The process of conditioning a crawlspace is so successful it created an entire new industry. As a leader in the industry we pride ourselves in providing a large variety of products to fit our clients individual needs. We will NEVER be a company that supplies only one solution with one product for every need. We constantly work with manufactures and suppliers to provide the best and most cost effective products available.

"Not sure what happened to this company seeing the previous reviews in 2022 and 2021 but as of today it's been almost a month since the gentleman came out to give me an estimate. He said he would email me the estimate and repeated my email. As of today, I have not heard a word from him or the company. He was in the crawlspace for about 10 minutes tops. He came out and was more about telling me what he couldn't and wouldn't do than plan a strategy to help fix my issues."

Septic tank cleanings or pump outs FAQs

Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.

If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.

Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.

You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
