"This was our first experience using Wighton’s and it won’t be the last. Aaron was very professional and very nice to work with. Our air conditioner stopped working and he was able to fix it and did some maintenance work on the unit also. He also pointed out that we needed to replace the air filter which services our hvac system, which we were grateful that he did because we had never had it changed out with a new one and it was long overdue. We signed up for their maintenance program so that our ac/heating will be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. We are very happy with his work and highly recommend Wighton’s!"

"I hired Jimmie to disconnect and remove an old porcelain sink and install a stainless steel sink and reconnect the fixtures. He finished this job in 4 hours and it was a job well done. He charged about 1/4 of what I was quoted by one of the large plumbing companies in the area, and that not exaggerating. I would highly recommend Jimmie at Champs Handy Worx."

"Tyler installed a complete septic system for our new home construction project. This included a 2000 gallon concrete tank with a distribution box and 165â of leach field. The installation was completed ahead of schedule and the site was finish graded very nicely upon completion. The system design engineer and the city building inspector both signed off with positive comments on the quality of work. We used Tyler to trench and install our water connection as well. We intend to use his services in the future also. We highly recommend him."

"I called on a Saturday morning when no other company was answering calls. They picked up and said they would be here Monday morning. They were very professional yet also let me watch and learn how to take care of my tank. I also had a clogged line and they "jetted" it and I was instantly up and running. I learned so much, I don't think I will ever need emergency service again. I will call them back in 3 or 4 years so I won't stress my system and incur more problems!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain. 

Wells typically replenish at a rate of about five gallons per minute, but several variables can influence how quickly they refill. A deep well will take more time to replenish than a shallow one. The replenishment rate can be slowed by issues such as leaks, damage, a faulty well pump, or a clogged well screen. Other factors, such as the surrounding geology, regular precipitation, and proper maintenance, also affect the recovery rate.

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

Yes, you can adjust your well pump pressure relatively easily by yourself. You’ll need to remove the cover from your pressure switch and adjust a nut that controls cut-in pressure. Learn more about how to adjust a well pump pressure switch with a step-by-step guide to setting your water pressure.
