"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.

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.

With proper maintenance, most types of septic systems—including mound, evapotranspiration, and constructed wetland systems—can last up to 40 years. To keep your system running as long as possible, follow basic septic tank upkeep guidelines, like pumping your septic tank every three to five years and only flushing human waste and toilet paper.

They can if they’re not installed correctly or if the caps or covers were dislodged by a lawn mower or other yard equipment. This is why it pays to hire a reputable septic tank company that’s experienced in septic tank installation and maintenance. You should also check caps and covers often to see that they’re in place and take measures to tighten or secure them, provided it is safe to do so.

You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.
