"Matt is awesome. He does quality work for a fair price. He actually did two things for us on two separate days. Replaced our pressure tank (we're on well water) and then installed an outside water spigot for us as our house did not have one. I selected "water heater install" as that was the closest option I could find to a pressure tank. Overall, I highly recommend giving Matt a call for any of your plumbing needs. He's a master plumber, very kind, pleasant to chat with, and most importantly, does a dang fine job with his work. Give him a chance, you'll be thankful you did."

"My existing hot water heater (12 years old) would not relight and had exhibited signs of tank failure (some discolored water and slight leak). I contacted a few vendors and NE Renovations met my budget and schedule constraints. I made the initial call the evening of December 28 and received a quick response from Richard Froais. The site survey and quote were received on December 29 with the installation taking place December 30 morning.

The installation crew, Jim and Randy, were punctual, courteous and thorough, and cleaned up the site well. It was a pleasure to work with them and NE Renovations.

Of particular note, my previous installation had some errors in the piping which were not apparent until a few years later. I related these symptoms to Richard and Jim who figured out the situation and agreed that it could be fixed as the new tank was installed. This I expect will create better operating conditions and longer life."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Most shallow residential wells are somewhere between 25 and 50 feet deep. They are among the simplest well systems. Deeper wells usually involve drilling to a much greater depth. Water wells for household use are typically 100 to 500 feet deep, depending on local groundwater conditions. Some may be up to 1,000 feet deep or more. 

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.
