Q: What are the disadvantages of having a well?

• <div><p>The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-city-water-and-well-water.htm">well water versus city water</a>, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.</p></div>

Q: How long can a deep well pump last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan of a deep well pump is between <b>15 and 25 years</b>, after which you&rsquo;ll have to replace it. Several factors can affect the lifespan of a well pump, such as the quality of the unit. Proper maintenance and repair can also help extend your well pump&rsquo;s lifespan as well as keep adequate water flow and pressure throughout your home.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my septic drain field is bad?

• <div><p>There are a few signs that you might notice if your drain field is bad. For starters, if you see standing water or soggy grass above your drain field, it could mean that it isn&rsquo;t working correctly. Or, if your yard smells like sewage, it could also indicate that there&rsquo;s a problem with your drain field. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-new-drain-fields-foot.htm">Repairing a drain field</a> costs an average of <b>$2,000 to $15,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: How many loads of laundry are safe to do with a septic tank?

• <div><p>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&mdash;for instance, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once&mdash;they can still handle fairly heavy use.</p></div>

Q: Does a gurgling toilet mean a septic tank is full?

• <div><p>A gurgling toilet usually doesn&rsquo;t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can&rsquo;t drain into a full septic tank, you&rsquo;ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.</p></div>

The service went really well. They were knowledgeable. He explained what he was doing. The pricing was fair. They gave us a quote; their estimate matched the final price. They also had to install a new high-pressure holding tank. The old one wasn't working and had to be replaced.

They replaced pump and then found that the tank that stored water was leaking and they replaced that too. They came promptly, worked efficiently and addressed problems that came up with alacrity and in a friendly manner. I would have preferred never to have the problem, but they handled it well.
