Get matched with top septic tank pros in Clinton, ME

Q: What is the life expectancy of a well casing?

• <div><p>The lifespan of your well casing depends mainly on the material it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal to smell your septic outside?

• <div><p>It is not normal to smell your septic outside and indicates a problem such as an unsealed manhole or access lid, a clogged septic line, a faulty vent stack, or the need for a septic tank pumping. If sewage is leaking from your septic system, it can be hazardous to you, your family, pets, and the surrounding environment. You can troubleshoot the issue yourself, or contact a septic tank pro who can resolve the issue quickly.</p></div>

Q: How long can a deep well pump run continuously?

• <div><p>Most professionals recommend that a deep well pump shouldn&rsquo;t run more than 10 hours consecutively before cycling off. Overworking the well pump beyond the recommended amount can prematurely wear out your pump and burn out the motor, which means replacing it more often than you otherwise should need to. Your well pump should also come with the manufacturer&rsquo;s use and maintenance recommendations that are specific to the model.</p></div>

Q: Can a septic tank riser be used to replace a concrete septic tank lid?

• <div><p>Yes, a septic tank riser can replace a concrete septic tank lid. Risers are designed to replace various types of septic tank covers, including concrete, metal, and fiberglass, to provide easier access for pumping and repairs. While a plastic riser makes future access more convenient, the initial replacement can be difficult because concrete lids are very heavy, so it is a job best left to professionals. Once installed, you will need to be cautious around the riser during yard work, such as mowing, to avoid causing damage.</p></div>

Q: What would cause my well water to lose pressure?

• <div><p>There are many potential causes of low well water pressure. The most common include sediment buildup, leaking pipes, a failing well pump, or a cracked pressure tank. </p></div>
