Q: Why do I need to drill a deeper well?

• <div><p>There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources&mdash;shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you&rsquo;ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. </p><p>Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you&rsquo;ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a septic tank to fill with water after pumping?

• <div><p>It only takes a few days for a septic tank to fill with water after a pro has pumped it. This is completely normal, and the water is a vital part of your septic system&rsquo;s wastewater treatment process. The water that fills your tank days after pumping is not the same as the tank being filled with waste. You shouldn&rsquo;t have to pump your septic system more than once every three to five years unless you have a tank that&rsquo;s too small for your home&rsquo;s water output or there&rsquo;s a problem with your leach field. </p></div>

Q: What psi should a well pressure tank be set at?

• <div><p>The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.</p><p>For example:</p><ul><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.</p></li><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.</p></li></ul><p>Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.</p></div>

Q: How does a septic tank work?

• <div><p>Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house&rsquo;s wastewater&mdash;from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep roots from growing into a septic tank?

• <div><p>To keep roots from growing into a septic tank. However, there are other steps you can take if existing tree roots are getting close to your septic tank. For one, you can install root barriers, which physically block roots from reaching your septic tank. You can also use chemical solutions in your yard or plumbing system to deter root growth.</p></div>

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."
