"Handymanny's window well crew in Colorado -was super nice and professional. They arrived on time and were ready to start working immediately. I took them around the property to show them the windows I wanted done and there was dog poop in my yard. I told them I would pick it up asap. They offered to do it but I didn't let them. I couldn't believe they offered to do it. Thats some great customer service. I had to go and left a check for them with my son, but they worked with me on a last-minute addition and when I returned, the job was well done and as I expected. My son stood on it and it was very strong. These egress window well covers will help protect my window ell from filling up with water during rain and hail storms. I highly recommend this company. I will be calling them back to do one more window well in the future."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

We’ve explained how deep-rooted plants can damage a septic tank from the outside, but plenty of things can ruin it from the inside, too. For example, flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, and wipes) can clog your septic tank. Cooking oil, grease, and household chemicals can also harm your system. And since a new septic system costs between $3,460 and $11,450, it’s worth following these guidelines.

Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house’s wastewater—from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

To determine the right size for your submersible well pump, find your well depth, water demand, and well casing diameter. The pump should match your well's specifications and meet or exceed your drawdown and pressure requirements. 

For precise sizing, make sure to research the different well pump sizes, consult the manufacturer's recommendations, or seek guidance from a professional well pump installer.
