Q: What are the signs of a bad well pump pressure switch?

• <div><p>Several signs can indicate a faulty well pump pressure switch. These include your pump running continuously, the pump not turning on at all, or a sudden and complete loss of water. Other symptoms are weak water pressure or an erratic, unpredictable water flow from your fixtures. If you notice these issues, the pressure switch may be the cause. Testing the switch can help diagnose the problem. A faulty switch will likely need to be repaired or replaced. If the issue is more complex, it's best to consult a professional well technician to ensure your water supply is restored correctly.</p></div>

Q: Can a metal detector find a septic tank?

• <div><p>Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that&rsquo;s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something&mdash;likely your septic tank lid. </p></div>

Q: How do I seal a leaking well?

• <div><p>A leaking well pipe is quite different from if the well itself is leaking. To seal a leaking well, pour a cement mixture or bentonite into the space between the well casing and the borehole wall. The heavier cement collects at the bottom to form a solid seal, pushing lighter materials like mud and fluids up toward the surface. Professional well installation companies have the equipment to do this properly. </p></div>

Q: Can you park on top of a septic field?

• <div><p>You should never park or drive on top of a septic field. Vehicles can weigh upwards of two tons, and this weight can put a lot of pressure on the leach lines in the drain field. Too much pressure on your leach lines may cause them to warp, crack, or completely burst. This is an expensive and very avoidable problem.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit for septic tank installation and pumping?

• <div><p>All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between <b>$450 and $2,500</b>. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You&rsquo;ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.</p></div>
