Q: What simultaneous projects can be undertaken while addressing septic tank repairs?

• <div><p>Depending on the size and location of your septic tank repair job, you may want to let the septic pros finish before tackling other backyard work. However, in some cases, it&rsquo;s not a bad idea to coordinate between your providers if the timing&rsquo;s right and your septic repair pro says it&rsquo;s safe to do so. For instance, if the septic repair work is happening in the fall, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare your backyard landscaping for winter , or in spring, start mulching the garden beds.</p></div>

Q: How long does a well usually last?

• <div><p>A well lasts at least 25 years, after which the natural sediment and minerals in the soil and water can build up and affect the well. Parts of the well, particularly the well pump, tend to wear out faster and require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Once the well reaches the end of its life span, you can hire a pro to seal it before drilling a new well in another location.</p></div>

Q: What causes a septic tank to collapse?

• <div><p>There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system&mdash;by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance&mdash;or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots. </p></div>

Q: How much psi should be in a pressure tank?

• <div><p>The precharged pressure tank should start at around 28 psi. The two pressure settings of note are the cut-in and cut-out pressure. The well pump starts when the tank reaches the minimum cut-in pressure. It turns off when the tank reaches the maximum cut-out pressure. The desired water pressure in the household is usually a few psi above the cut-in number. The difference between the cut-in and cut-out pressure settings should be 20 psi. Typical settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a submersible well pump

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sump-pump-installation-cost.htm">cost of sump pump installation</a> varies depending on factors like the type of sump pump, labor rates, and the complexity of the installation. On average, you can expect to pay around <b>$1,200</b> for a standard sump pump install. However, the cost may be higher if additional features like a backup system or extensive drainage work are required. </p></div>

Our sewage injector pump in Oakland went bananas right after the holiday and needed to be replaced. But more than that, I already knew that the installation was very suboptimal and needed to be completely re-engineered. Sure, we could've only replaced the pump as-is but we'd be right back where...
