Is it okay to oversize a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>There are no major drawbacks or risks to oversizing a well pressure tank for your well. In some cases, having a larger pressure tank can increase its lifespan as it won’t have to cycle on and off as often, resulting in less wear and tear. Keep in mind that larger pressure tanks have a higher upfront cost and take up more space.</p></div>

Q: How do I reset my septic pump alarm?

• <div><p>There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn&rsquo;t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there&rsquo;s still a red light on, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between septic tanks and cesspits?

• <div><p>Septic tanks and cesspits are both types of sewage and wastewater systems, but they differ in key ways. The main difference between the two systems is that septic tanks separate sewage from wastewater and allow the latter to flow into a drainage field to filter and disperse into the soil. Cesspits don&rsquo;t have outlets and instead, store sewage until it needs to be pumped by a professional.</p></div>

Q: How often does a septic tank need to be pumped?

• <div><p>A septic tank needs to be pumped once every three years on average. However, every septic tank has different needs, and the proper service interval for your system may be every five years, or as frequent as an annual pump-out. Consult with your installer about the proper interval and what to expect regarding the cost of septic tank pumping.</p></div>

Q: How often do septic systems go bad?

• <div><p>While the lifespan of your septic system will depend on a variety of factors, including how well you keep up with regular inspections and maintenance, it will eventually need replacement. Most septic tanks can last between 20 and 30 years, and under good circumstances, a septic drainage field may last up to 50. On average, though, about every 30 years or so, a major septic renovation will be necessary.</p></div>

With our rather old cabin-style home, the plumbing from the kitchen sink had a plug of hardened grease over 30 years old. We discovered this the first day when they drilled through it with a snake; we had them return a couple of days later with a hydrojet unit to clean it out. Our house is...

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.

We called Aaron's as they were highly rated by Angie's list, and we had absolutely no experience with dealing with septic tanks and felt we needed good service immediately (backed up sewer) to cope with what might be dicey situations, so we didn't want to shop around. The location of our tanks...
