When I arrived at my house the tech had already arrived. The tech was very polite and explained the problem was a filter that was clogged up at the bottom of the tank which in turn caused the pilot light to go out. The tech cleaned off the filter and was able to get the pilot back on. So I did not need a new tank. The tech was very professional and answered all of my questions. This was the first time I ever used this company and was very pleased.

Called immediately on a holiday. We had water pressure issues. Nothing a plumber can do but recommended we call a well service which we did and they fixed it. Informed us our hot water tank was good.
We used Read Septic services because we had some issues with backing up. Dale came out, quickly evaluated the septic system and let us know what needed to be done. He also gave us useful tips in order to avoid this problem in the future. Also found him to be very straightforward and honest.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts
If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes.
The size of your water well pressure tank is limited only by your budget and the amount of space you have to use. Larger tanks can hold more water, meaning your well pump will need to cycle less often. This can extend the life of both the pressure tank and your well pump. Larger tanks cost more and take up more room, though.
If you notice a septic smell in the house, you can either call a septic system repair company or a plumber. These professionals have the proper licenses and equipment to investigate the pipes and septic tank while keeping your family safe from sewage gas exposure and raw sewage leaks. They will be able to find the problem as soon as possible and get it fixed so that your home can get back to smelling fresh again.
Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.
On average, septic systems last between 15 and 20 years. However, with proper care and routine septic maintenance, you may be able to extend your septic system’s life span to 30 years (or more). Some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape include scheduling a professional inspection every two to five years and reducing the flow of wastewater into your system.
