"Sergio repaired a leak from my second floor bathroom through the ceiling into my first floor bsthroom a year and four months ago. He had to remove the toilet to secure the hrass ring mounting plate to the sub floor and replace the wax ring gasket, then re-install the toilet. That repair took a couple of hours and is still good to this day. When I noticed that I had no hot water yesterday and trried repeatedly to re-light the pilot on my thirteen year old water heater to no avail, I called Pipe Service Pros in the late afternoon without hesitation and made an appointment.with Sergio. He came by ten o'clock this morning and all he needed to do was push a reset button on the burner control module and then light the pilot. It's great to have an honest serviceman because he could have sold me a new burner assembly or a wjole new wster heater thst I fidn't need. The price was fair and a lot less expensive than plumbing contractors that I've used inbthe past. Thanks Sergio for the excellent service and professional advice! Lenny P. from Bayside, N.Y."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

On average, septic tanks last between 20 and 40 years. However, this time frame may vary depending on a few factors, including the tank’s material and the soil type. You can extend the life of your tank by scheduling a septic tank pumping every three to five years and being mindful about what you put down your drains and toilets. In short, human waste and toilet paper are the only things that should go into your septic tank.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

There are many reasons you may want to extend the depth of an existing well or drill a new, deeper well on your property. A deeper well can tap cleaner water sources—shallow water may contain more contaminants. With a deeper well, you’ll also have an easier time reaching the water table depth (the level at which underground water is found) and can get past tricky soil conditions. 

Plus, if your local building code requires a minimum well depth for safety and environmental standards, you’ll meet the code by digging a deeper well in the first place.

You can find your septic tank using a few different methods. For one, you can check your property records at your local municipal office. You can also inspect your yard looking for a depression, a septic tank lid, or lush septic-area vegetation which would indicate a leach field. You can also follow your pipes from the home to the yard. If you can't find your septic tank on your own, a local septic pro can help.
