Does shower water go into a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes, shower water does go into the septic tank. In fact, all the water you use in your home goes into the septic tank. This includes water from sinks, the dishwasher, the washing machine, and toilets. This water is called greywater. It’s important never to put oil or harsh chemicals down any drain because they could cause a clog in your septic system or even disrupt the natural bacteria needed for wastewater management. </p></div>

How much water does a leaky faucet waste?

• <div><p>According to the U.S. <a href="https://www.epa.gov/watersense/fix-leak-week#:~:text=A%20leaky%20faucet%20that%20drips,a%20wide%20variety%20of%20faucets.">Environmental Protection Agency</a> (EPA), a leaky faucet that’s dripping at a rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. This is one reason why it’s important to fix a leaky faucet sooner rather than later.</p></div>

Q: What are some signs that galvanized piping is going bad?

• <div><p>The clearest sign that something is wrong with your galvanized piping is if you can see rust or corrosion on the exterior. These indicate that the same problems are present on the inside of the pipes. You should contact a licensed plumber right away so that they can inspect your pipes. Other signs include poor performance of your gas appliances, high gas bills, and if your pipes are past the lifespan of 20 to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own plumbing system?

• <div><p>Installing a plumbing system is a project best left to professional plumbers. Plumbing systems involve tons of moving parts&mdash;water supply lines, pipes, drain lines, sewer connections, and connections to appliances like water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers. Improper installation of your plumbing system can leave your house vulnerable to potential damages that could result in flooding or damage to your home&rsquo;s foundation. While you can DIY your way through common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">plumbing problems</a> like fixing clogged drains or leaky faucets, it&rsquo;s highly recommended that you contact a plumbing professional for most of your plumbing-related tasks, especially installing the system. </p></div>

Q: Will your toilet flush if your septic tank is full?

• <div><p>Your toilet will still flush if the septic tank is full, but it might flush more slowly. It may make gurgling sounds as the wastewater slowly drains through the pipes. You may also notice the toilet clogs up more frequently when the septic tank is full, although this can also be a sign of other plumbing issues, like a clog in the pipes.</p></div>

We had a slow drain out of the kitchen. AAA Auger cleaned it out or flushed it out. They didn't have the equipment that they needed in the truck. They had to come back on another day. My home is an older home and the pipes were an unusual size. They were friendly and honest.
