Q: Does shower water go into a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system&mdash;including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine&mdash;drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.</p></div>

Q: How do I set my well tank’s pressure?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-set-well-pressure-tank.htm">How do you set your well&rsquo;s pressure tank?</a> All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench&mdash;clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that&rsquo;s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.</p></div>

Q: What happens if my well pump runs continuously?

• <div><p>If you notice that your well pump runs continuously, it&rsquo;s important to take action quickly to avoid further damage. A few common issues may be to blame for a continuously running well pump, such as mechanical damage, a faulty pressure control switch, low water level, prime loss, and leaking pipes and fixtures. </p></div>

"Really glad i found Best Plumbing. Hired them to replace a shower pan and liked them so much that I had them replace shower doors and put in a new water heater as well. Fair pricing and always prompt, it felt like they went over and above what I was expecting. I would not hesitate to recommend Best Plumbing to anyone!"

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."
