"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Frozen well pipes make themselves known quickly, as your faucets slow down to a trickle or shut down completely. If you notice a serious reduction in flow in the winter from toilets, showers, kitchen faucets, and other plumbing fixtures, a frozen pipe or two is to blame. Another tell-tale sign is frost or ice on exposed pipes outside. 

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.

Both materials are suitable for septic tanks, but concrete usually lasts longer than plastic. If you’re buying a new tank, the prices are similar for plastic ($500 to $2,500) and concrete ($700 to $2,000). However, there’s a notable difference in repair prices, with plastic tank repair costs ranging from $150 to $2,000, while concrete repairs are between $700 and $5,000.

They can if they’re not installed correctly or if the caps or covers were dislodged by a lawn mower or other yard equipment. This is why it pays to hire a reputable septic tank company that’s experienced in septic tank installation and maintenance. You should also check caps and covers often to see that they’re in place and take measures to tighten or secure them, provided it is safe to do so.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.
