Q: How do you add or replenish good bacteria in a septic tank?

• <div><p>Your septic tank naturally contains the beneficial bacteria it needs to function, so you typically don't need to add more. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three overripe tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many experts consider them unnecessary and potentially harmful. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacteria population is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the good bacteria in your system.</p></div>

Q: When should I turn off my well pump and pressure tank?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re going away on vacation or leaving your home for a long time, it&rsquo;s a good idea to switch off your well pump and pressure tank before you go. This way you can prevent any damage from unexpected leaks that may occur or unforeseen electrical issues while you&rsquo;re away. </p></div>

Q: Is vinegar safe for septic systems?

• <div><p>Since vinegar is a weak acid with a pH of two to three, it&rsquo;s generally safe for septic systems. It won&rsquo;t eat away at the good bacteria in your septic tank and can help break down the sludge, which is its bottom layer. However, like with everything in life, moderation is key.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my septic tank healthy?

• <div><p>To keep your septic tank healthy, be careful of what you flush and be conservative with water usage, as even flushing too much water down the drain can throw off the septic system&rsquo;s delicate balance. Never flush anything but human waste and toilet paper down your toilet, and be sure to have the tank inspected and pumped every two to five years, depending on the size of your household and your water usage.</p></div>

Q: What are the costs associated with community wells?

• <div><p>The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-well-drilling-cost.htm">well drilling cost</a> is between <b>$25 and $60 per foot</b>. The average cost to repair a well is between <b>$350 and $1500</b>. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. </p></div>

"Septic tank began overflowing due to main pump not working. Pump had been replaced by home owner prior to sale. Had questioned the operation shortly after moving in as it did not seem to perform as I thought it should. Found ABC on a Friday afternoon after finding the side yard flooded. They had a crew working nearby that stoped what they were doing and got here in a few minutes. They diagnosed the problem and had it working quickly. They then had to pump the excess out. Has been working great since."
