"Josh Smith from J& R Drain Service was one of the most honorable plumbers I've met in a long time. We have a rental property in an old beautiful home in a historic district in Dayton. Our water heater burst and our tenants were scrambling to save their things from water damage and ruin. We didn't know what to do so we posted on Home Adviser but called R*** R***t** to get emergency services. Less than 2 minutes after I made the call to R**R***, Josh Smith from J&R called me. The guy from RR was great and knowledgeable but his prices were outrageous! I called Josh S back and offered him a chance to bid. He agreed to do the service for the price I was willing to pay, which was $500 less than RR! He even came back the next day to do extra work. He treated my home like he was working on his own. I'm very grateful to have found him I appreciate Josh and J&R. Thanks Josh, I owe you a beer!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

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 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.

Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal “business” down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.

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. 

While dry wells can be effective for managing rainwater, they have several disadvantages. They can become clogged with sediment, especially after large storms, which reduces their effectiveness and can be difficult to clean. Dry wells are also not suitable for all soil types; they will not function properly in soil with low permeability. Additionally, if a dry well is not large enough to handle the amount of rainfall in your area, it can overflow. For gravity-flow models, the water may disperse very slowly, depending on the well's depth and the soil's permeability.
