"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

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.

Yes, a septic tank can get full. If this happens, you might run into issues flushing your toilets or draining your sinks. You may also notice your pipes making gurgling noises or the smell of sewage floating around your house. Other signs of a backed-up septic tank include water pooling or fresh, healthy grass growing above your drain field.

Call a dedicated well and pump professional to install your new well pump. In some cases, plumbers may have the experience needed for the installation, but it’s always better to go with a specialized pro. Well and pump contractors have hundreds of hours of experience with all different types of wells and pumps. 

Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.
