Q: How can I prevent septic tank problems?

• <div><p>To prevent septic tank problems, save on repair costs, and keep your home running smoothly, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Have your septic system inspected by a professional every one to three years, or annually if possible, to spot potential issues before they develop. You should also have your tank pumped every three to five years, or more frequently if recommended by a professional based on your household's usage. Additionally, be mindful of what goes into your system. Avoid flushing items like paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products. Do not dispose of other inappropriate substances, and try to avoid excessive water usage at a single time.</p></div>

Q: How does a well not run out of water?

• <div><p>A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It&rsquo;s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home&rsquo;s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.</p></div>
