Q: How do you get sediment out of a water well?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to remove sediment from your water well. Sediment in your water well is normal. The problem is when the sediment enters your water supply. In this case, look into your pump. The size and placement of your pump can lead to sediment in your water. If it&rsquo;s too big, it&rsquo;ll overwork and stir up the sediment at the bottom, pulling it into the pump. If it&rsquo;s too low, it will pull up the sediment that&rsquo;s settled at the bottom.

Q: Can a slab leak cause a sinkhole?

• <div><p>It is possible for a slab leak to cause a sinkhole, but it would have to be a particularly serious leak. A slab leak causes the land under your home to erode and if there is enough movement depressions will form in the ground, potentially causing a sinkhole.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to use a drain auger on a toilet?

• <div><p>It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a leaky faucet?

• <div><p>Signs of a leaky faucet include dripping water, unusual noises, and irregular water flow coming from the faucet. Discoloration or water stains around the sink or countertop can also indicate a leak, as can higher than usual water bills and wet areas under and around the sink&rsquo;s base. </p></div>

Q: How much water should be in the toilet bowl after flushing?

• <div><p>After flushing the toilet, you should have about half a tank full of water. While the exact amount of water you&rsquo;ll have will vary, you want to make sure you have enough to cover the bottom of the bowl and enough to sit above the P-trap drain. While low water in your toilet bowl can indicate a problem, too much water can also be cause for concern. </p></div>

The experience was terrible. The product installed was not what was ordered and they refused to do anything about it. They either made a mistake and refused to fix it -or- it was bait and switch. Long story short, this company should be avoided at all costs.
