"Woody, Craig, and the team were great to work with and did an excellent job replacing my septic system. They were very responsive and communicated throughout the project. They were transparent about all pricing and honest. They did a great job with the install and the finish landscaping they did was more than I could have expected. I highly recommend them, they are busy for a good reason."

"Bill and his team were consummate professionals from start to finish. They were always punctual and meticulous in their work. They replaced one septic system, rerouted one of the two old systems to the new one, and replaced three walkways. The only thing I would have changed is wishing they could have started the job a bit sooner. I highly recommend Bill and his team. He is a true man of his word!"

"I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have hired Delfino (Robert & Ariana) to level a section of my yard and add a gravel pad for a shed being built. They are super responsive, friendly, and more than fair. Saying I have a complicated yard is an understatement. I’ve had ridiculous quotes in the past and some who have told me what I needed was impossible. Delfino proved them wrong….and for much less money! They even surprised me with doing some work on my (also impossible) driveway at no extra cost because they had enough extra in materials. If you’re looking for kindness, fairness, and honesty..do yourself a favor and hire this incredible family business. You’ll be so thankful you did!! Thank you so much Robert & Ariana Delfino ❤️"

OWNER OPERATED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING BUSINESS PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL SERVICES. FULLY LICENSED AND INSURED IN RHODE ISLAND

"Contractor had good communication and the project went well on time as planned. He had to come back same day for a couple of things missed . I would give this an A rating but when I discovered the outside outlet that was replaced was not working I contacted the contractor who did not respond. I tried 3 more times in a year and even saw a coworker down the street and told him about the outlet but nothing was ever done to remedy this and I had to hire someone else to fix what was not wired correctly. I was really disappointed as this could and should have been taken care of. Had it not been for that I would have rated this an A in all categories."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Providence, RI

You should have your septic tank inspected at least once every one to three years. Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring your system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan. You can also have your pro take care of routine septic system maintenance tasks at the same time as your inspection.

A septic tank must be inspected before buying a home to ensure the system is sound and compliant with local regulations. A comprehensive inspection evaluates all critical components and detects hidden faults that could lead to expensive repairs. This detailed review protects your investment by verifying the system’s integrity and reliability.

A septic tank's leach field fails when it encounters system overload and deteriorating conditions. Excess water usage beyond the field’s capacity and environmental stress lead to hydraulic failure. Aging infrastructure and insufficient maintenance further contribute to failure. Distributing water use evenly and scheduling regular maintenance, including enzyme treatments when necessary, preserve the leach field’s integrity.

A septic system lasts between 20 and 30 years. Steel tanks function for 15 to 20 years, concrete tanks operate for 20 to 40 years, and fiberglass or plastic tanks remain durable for 30 to 40 years. Consistent maintenance, including regular pumping and inspections, extends these lifespans by preventing buildup and structural damage, ensuring reliable long-term performance.

A failing septic system presents clear signs such as slow-draining fixtures, foul odors at or around the leach field, and overly green patches of grass. Additional indicators include persistent toilet flushing problems, standing water near the system, and noticeable gurgling noises from pipes. These symptoms reveal blockages, structural damage, or leaks. Immediate professional evaluation is essential to address these issues and prevent extensive repair costs.
