"After not having a working hot water tank for almost a year this man changed my world by installing a new hot water tank on Saturday. Other companies turned me away, one after another. I was about to give up when I gave Angie's list another try. I can't thank you enough for helping me. This morning I took my first shower in many, many, moons instead of heating water for a make shift shower/bath. I did dishes without having to heat water on the stove. Thank you, for your kindnes Thank you for helping me."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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’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.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

Unfortunately, yes. If your well pump continues working when the flow of water is completely blocked, the motor will burn up. The energy has nowhere to go, thanks to the blockage, so it turns inward. The end result? A ruined well pump and a depleted bank account (once you shop for a replacement.) 

A well pressure tank typically lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, its lifespan can be influenced by several factors. High-quality, appropriately sized tanks tend to last longer, with some top-of-the-line models lasting up to 30 years. Regular annual maintenance, including inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs, is crucial for extending the tank's life. Water quality also plays a significant role; water with high levels of sediment, minerals, or rocks can cause premature wear. Overworking an undersized tank can also limit its lifespan.
