Q: What are some signs of septic tank or septic system problems?

• <div><p>Most homeowners know there&rsquo;s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn&rsquo;t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won&rsquo;t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue. </p></div>

Q: What are the costs associated with community wells?

• <div><p>The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-well-drilling-cost.htm">well drilling cost</a> is between <b>$25 and $60 per foot</b>. The average cost to repair a well is between <b>$350 and $1500</b>. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. </p></div>

Q: How do you replenish good bacteria in a septic tank?

• <div><p>You can replenish good bacteria in your septic tank by adding three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast every three months. Put three overripe tomatoes in the garbage disposal while running the faucet. Or pour 1/4 ounce of yeast in the toilet and flush it down. These are the best natural ways to increase bacteria in your septic tank. Septic tank additives are not necessary and may even cause harm to your septic system.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to empty a septic tank?

• <div><p>Many septic professionals agree that spring is the best time of year to empty a septic tank. By this point, the temperatures have usually warmed up enough so that the ground is no longer frozen, which makes it easier to access the tank (and less likely for the waste to be frozen inside the tank). Summer and fall are also decent times to do it, but winter isn&rsquo;t.</p></div>

Q: How do you mount solar panels for a well pump?

• <div><p>The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you&rsquo;ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.</p></div>
