"Our home has a well, and we recently began having issues with it running out of water due to extra demand from company stay with us. Not a fun experience when it happens mid shower. After an internet search, we called PNH Plumbing and Wells and are glad we did. They impressed from the start; made us a priority, worked us into their schedule, and quickly came out and diagnosed the problemâ ¦a bad well pressure tank. They also performed a well recovery test. What impressed me the most was the phenomenal job of communicating with us, took the time to explain in laymanâ  s terms how our well system works, and what was causing the problem. Given my well recovery rate, we decided to go with a large (92 gallon) pressure tank. They came out the next day to install it. Again PNH Plumbing and Wells did a fantastic job communicating to let us know when to expect them. The new tank was installed as promised even though the PNH team had to work late. Bottom-line, the problem was fixed and Iâ  ve had no issues since. If you are having well or plumbing issues and are looking for a master plumber that is trustworthy, professional and a fantastic communicator; look no further. I give my PNH Plumbing and Wells my highest recommendation because they earned it. I will be a customer for life and will call them whenever I need help from a master plumber that I can trust."

"They were very prompt and did a professional job without any problems. I especially appreciated the constant updates of the status. My only complaint was that they quoted an estimate but stated all payments by credit card required a 2.5% surcharge, and they offered no office address for delivery of a check or payment to avoid charge. They did offer a PO box which obviously would have delayed the repair process several days. We, like most people that need septic repairs wished to have it done as soon as possible."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

A septic tank lid is often 1 foot underground, but it could be just 4 inches from the surface or 4 feet deep. For septic tank lids that are closer to the surface, you’ll have an easier time locating them just by looking for signs in the yard or using a metal probe. But for septic tanks that are buried deeper underground, you’ll need to hire a pro with specialized equipment to track down the lid without risk of damaging utility lines.

Normally, when your well pump turns on or off, you’ll hear a small click. This isn’t anything to worry about, but it can be a problem if it’s clicking continuously. This can indicate that the well pump is short cycling—the pump continuously turns on and off.

This can wear out the motor and provide uneven water flow. If this happens, you may need to get it looked at by a well pump professional to see if you need to repair the switch or pump.

You may notice a septic smell in your yard after it rains if groundwater is entering your septic tank and causing it to overflow. If you experience septic odors after rainfall, contact a licensed plumber. They can construct a drain to redirect rainwater away from your septic tank. 

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.
