McKean is "The Answer" for hard to find parts for contractors and Do-It-Yourself-ers. Our BBB A+ rating has been earned by continually delivering high customer satisfaction.

"We own our home in Washington PA and over the last few years have had plumbers come out to unclog drains, clean out sewer lines and do some small repairs. Recently we needed a water main shut off valve replaced; we tried McKean’s plumbing and heating for this project. The plumber showed up on time, completed the replacement quickly, replaced an additional toilet shut off valve and did a fill tower swap out for me. He was highly efficient and completed all the tasks in about 1.5 hours and respected my home while he was there. McKean’s will be my go-to plumbing company from here on out. If you are looking for a reputable company, I would highly recommend them to take care of your family or business. The Cooper’s "

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Consider site conditions, soil type, required capacity, and system designs compatible with environmental protection regulations.

The easiest thing you can do to prolong the life of your septic system is to adopt septic-safe practices. This includes not flushing non-biodegradable items, chemicals, or excessive grease down drains and scheduling regular septic tank pumping to prevent buildup. It’s also important to fix plumbing leaks promptly and to practice water conservation to avoid overloading the system. To maintain your drain field, avoid heavy vehicle traffic and plant shallow-rooted vegetation in the area. Most importantly, invest in routine inspections and maintenance to detect and address issues early.

With regular servicing and general upkeep, both a well pump and pressure tank can last for years. The average lifespan of a well pump is around eight to 15 years. A well pressure tank can last from seven to 10 years. How long a well pump and pressure tank lasts also depends on a variety of factors such as type, size, material, and brand.

Most septic tanks need to be emptied every 3 to 5 years, but it’s a good idea to monitor the fill levels of your septic tank all the time. You can do this by installing a pressure level sensor to detect the internal tank pressure, or by having a septic tank company perform an annual inspection to let you know when you’ll need to pump the tank.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.
