"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

"Our nine year old water heater failed two days before Christmas. After determining this was no simple home repair job, I looked up plumbers with a good rating on Angie's list and made the call just before 5pm on the 23rd. The owner, Finch, was responsive and tried to make something happen before the suppliers closed for the day, but that was just too much to be done under the circumstances. Communications were great that evening and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning. Alvin was able to pick up a replacement tank and arrived early the day before Christmas to replace the bad tank. The work was done with a great deal of attention to detail and what I watched was a skilled and good quality installation of the new tank. Alvin was very personable, talked me through the important aspects of the work, and he gave an overview of the best care regimen for the new unit. Several hours later, we had hot water, a better and cleaner installation than the old tank, and plenty of time left to be ready for Christmas Eve. The price was a little over $1600 in total, but well worth it in my opinion. I will be calling them back for more work in the spring.

"Mr. Wilson arrived right on time and got to work right away. I already knew the wax ring needed to be replaced. Mr. Wilson promptly diagnosed a leak in the toilet tank water supply line and replaced the line. Everything is in perfect working order now. Better than new. I will definitely use Wilson Waterworks again for any future plumbing work.

"Father and son team squeezed me into their schedule so we wouldn't have to go without hot water all for a great price. ( December promo).They were friendly and knowledgeable and explained how to operate the water heater if it ever went out. They were done in two hours and cleaned up after themselves. They also gave us a multi tool as a thank you for our business. Would hire againbif needed."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

A septic smell may be harmful because sewer gas is dangerous depending on the exposure amount and length of time. Sewer gas is made up of multiple gases, including hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Some of these gases, like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are toxic to humans and can be fatal in high concentrations or long exposures.

Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it’s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home. 

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.
