"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.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

The lifespan of your well casing depends mainly on the material it’s made from. Stainless steel and galvanized steel casings are designed to withstand the pressures and environment of deep-water wells but are susceptible to corrosion. Most steel casings last from 20 to 35 years, on average. PVC casing is highly durable and, if used correctly, can last up to 50 years.

A dry well can last 30 years if you keep up with maintenance. Maintenance can be tricky with dry wells, but be sure to inspect and deep clean the well at least once per year to keep it from getting clogged up with sediment and debris. To minimize buildup, clear out grass clippings, leaves, twigs, and other debris from the top of the dry well. 

If you DIY annual cleaning and inspections, you should still hire a pro to inspect the dry well at least once every two to three years.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.
