Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

When your septic system is failing, you’ll probably smell it. Common signs of a septic system failure include sewage odors in the home or around the yard, flooding in the yard above the septic tank or in the leach field, and wastewater or even raw sewage backing up into your home’s drains.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.

Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.
