"Outstanding. We purchased the expansion tank with plans to install but decided to get a plumber. Glad we did. Nate checked the pressure of our water and then pressurized the new tank accordingly. He sat down with me to explain exactly what he was going to do before he did it including how much it would cost. Afterward, he took time to give me tips on caring for the hot water heaters showing me exactly what to do. He also added a support bracket (no additional cost) near the expansion tank because he felt it made it safer. And he flushed the hot water tanks for us and showed me how to do that to prolong the life of the tanks as well as make them more efficient. The van says "The Punctual Plumber" and he was right on time - and called 15 minutes prior to let me know he was on his way."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

You may want to increase the size of your leach field, for instance, if you add on to your home or install more bathrooms in your house. You can make your leach field larger by installing more pipes or expanding the area of the field itself. Improving the soil quality in the drain field can also make it more effective without increasing the area.

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.

Certain foods are easier on your septic tank than others. Septic-safe foods include yogurt, fruit, cooked veggies, and bread because these items all break down relatively easily and can pass through your system safely. Rotten tomatoes, specifically, are actually good for your septic tank because they can increase the amount of good bacteria in the system. 

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.
