How far can an ejector pump push sewage?

• <div><p>Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-grinder-pump.htm">Grinder pumps</a> can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).</p></div>

Q: Why does my outside spigot have no pressure?

• <div><p>There are a multitude of causes for low water pressure in outdoor spigots. Normally, the water just gushes right out of them, but a soft trickle happens if the spigot itself is old or damaged. If parts are misplaced or worn down, the water pressure won't be as high as it should be. More complex causes include ruptured water lines and problems with the water meter.</p></div>

Q: Can you over-tighten toilet tank bolts?

• <div><p>You definitely can over-tighten toilet tank bolts. Unlike some other materials, porcelain can&rsquo;t bend or flex, so when you over-tighten a screw into it, it could break against the added pressure. Only tighten them as much as needed to keep them in place and firm; any more and you could risk breaking the porcelain. </p></div>

Q: How far can an ejector pump push sewage?

• <div><p>Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That&rsquo;s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line&mdash;which is a relatively short distance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-grinder-pump.htm">Grinder pumps</a> can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don&rsquo;t work with septic systems).</p></div>

Q: Why is the water in my toilet tank dirty?

• <div><p>The water in your toilet tank refills after each flush. So if you see dirty water in the bowl, you should check the tank to see if it&rsquo;s coming from there. A dirty toilet tank can be the result of sediment in the water itself&mdash;-after all, the water will sit in the tank between flushes and can cause the interior to change into a dingy color. Faulty toilet components, like an old flapper, corroded tank lever or chain, or damaged seals, can also lead to dirty water as the materials break down inside the tank. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-toilet-tank.htm">clean the toilet tank</a> or change out the old parts to give it a fresh start.</p></div>

Q: Can a water leak cause an electrical fire?

• <div><p>Yes, a water leak poses a major fire risk at your home because water is a conductor of electricity. Water that comes into contact with sparks or electrical wires can instantly ignite flammable materials. Additionally, any type of exposure to water can cause wires and other electrical components within your home to corrode. When assessing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-water-damage.htm">categories of water damage</a>, it's important to know that even a small amount of moisture near wiring could cause sparks that lead to a fire.</p></div>

They need to explain a little more about what electrical companies mark and if the homeowner knows of anything else electrical added. When they hit my drain field pipes, they were going to cover it up instead of discussing issues with the homeowner about repairing it properly. If an issue...

Not impressed with the overall service. The carpet installers used our bathroom and did not cleanup. They left the toilet and sink dirty. Carpet remnants were left around as well.

It went great! They had all ten windows installed well before their predicted completion time so I was beyond happy with how fast they were. They cleaned everything up and the new windows look great!

They installed fascia (made repairs) and gutters with 16 inside/outside corners, not an easy task. They also installed gutter guards to complete the job. Both management and installers were polite and professional. We are more than happy with the results.
