Edward Duncan established Waterboy Water Works in 1994. Over the last 16 years, the business has grown to meet customer demand, but the objective has remained the same - to provide quality service at reasonable rates. The employees at Waterboy Water Works can repair a leaky tap, install a dishwasher, replace a water pump, and transform an outdated bathroom - and much, much more! We are a 24 hour business and are there when you need us most.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Most cesspools are buried about 1 to 3 feet below ground. The cesspool itself can be between 8 to 10 feet deep, with an average capacity of 750 to 1,250 gallons. If you’re planning to fill in a cesspool, be prepared by knowing the size of your original tank so you can buy the appropriate amount of soil.

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.

Never use Drano on blocked toilets. You can end up with a ghastly leak because the chemicals eat away at the glue that holds pipes together just as effectively as they do with clogs. Drano is known for being particularly rough on toilets, which is why some plumbers actually dislike the product. 

There are a few signs you can look out for to determine if your well pump needs to be repaired or replaced, including the following:

  • Your water pressure fluctuates.

  • You lose water entirely on occasion.

  • You notice the pump making unusual noises.

  • Water sputters out of your fixtures.

  • Your utility bills suddenly spike without explanation.

  • You notice sediment or cloudiness in your water.

  • You hear that the pump runs continuously.

If you notice any of these issues, call a professional well pump repair service to inspect it and determine whether you should repair or replace it.

Schedule annual inspections, test water pressure, and protect the pump from freezing temperatures.
