Q: Can I check my own septic tank?

• <div><p>You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they&rsquo;re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts suggest for well pumps?

Q: Can toilet paper be flushed with a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes! Toilet paper can be flushed if you use a septic tank. While unique toilet papers designed to be used with septic tanks are available, many people have no problem flushing regular toilet paper with a septic tank, so long as you don&rsquo;t flush too much toilet paper all at once. Do not flush any type of baby wipes or bathroom wipes, even if they say &ldquo;flushable.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: What are some signs of septic tank or septic system problems?

Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won&rsquo;t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue. </p></div>

"My hot water tank stopped working on a Friday night and I was expecting guests. I called them and they came out on a Saturday morning to install a new hot water tank. Josh and Dusten came to do the work and I was very pleased with them. They originally came Friday night and determined it couldn't be repaired. When they came back Saturday, they had the correct tank and everything they needed to replace it. I have used them before for air conditioning service and was pleased with their service then, too."

"“I had a bad sump pump. They were to my house within a hour of calling them. It was very difficult getting the old pump out and they worked very hard. Very pleased with their work and considering the difficulty removing the old pump, the price was most reasonable. Would readily recommend them and plan to use them again for our plumbing needs.
