Q: Should I buy or build a well?

• <div><p>Buying a well drilling kit will save you money over hiring a professional. That said, digging a well is risky. If you make an error, you may have to get help fixing it. Also, the DIY costs are still pretty hefty when considering everything needed to complete the project successfully. You&rsquo;ll need to account for the permit, pump, water tank, and more. If you don&rsquo;t feel comfortable taking the necessary precautions to tackle this on your own, go with a pro. </p></div>

Q: How close to a septic tank can I plant a tree?

• <div><p>Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won&rsquo;t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree&mdash;but you&rsquo;ll need to know how tall it can get when it&rsquo;s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when I drill a well?

• <div><p>When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you&rsquo;ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses <b>100 gallons</b> of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.</p><p>Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don&rsquo;t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They&rsquo;ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.</p></div>

Q: What happens when a septic tank is full?

• <div><p>When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.</p></div>

Q: How do you know when to pump your septic tank?

• <div><p>Needing to pump the tank as soon as it &ldquo;looks&rdquo; full is a common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-myths-about-septic-systems.htm">myth about septic systems</a>, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it&rsquo;s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.</p></div>
