How to Stop Septic Tank Problems
If you are a rural homeowner, chances are you are running off a septic tank. As a holding tank for the sewage in your home, your septic tank should be maintained to keep it working longer. Try some of these tips and tricks to extend the life of your septic tank:
- Keep solid, non-water-soluble items out of the tank, they can cause blockages.
- Never put grease down your drains. Once the grease cools, it will solidify, causing a blockage in your septic tank.
- Know the limits of your tank. If you know the size and limit of your tank you can better determine when to call for cleaning or repairs.
- Invest in regular maintenance. We recommend homeowners clean their tank once every 2 years. You can clean it more often depending on the size of your tank.

How Does a Water Softener Work?
Homes with high amounts of minerals such as magnesium or calcium in their water could benefit from a water softener. This type of unit works by using salts in a separate tank to neutralize the minerals before they can enter your drinking or washing water. The salt ions attach themselves to the magnesium or calcium ions and neutralize them before they can do any damage.
What’s the Secret to Long Water Heater Life? Maintenance!
No one likes the thought of buying and installing a new water heater. It’s expensive and a hassle. And, the last thing anyone wants is for their water heater to fail when they need it most. The key to keeping your water heater healthy, reliable, and long-running is maintenance. Here are a few tips to consider.
- Flush the Tank: Over time, sediment builds up in your hot water tank. This buildup reduces your tank’s energy efficiency, causing it to work harder, which shortens its lifespan. You can extend the life of your water heater by flushing the tank every six months.
- Check the Pressure Relief Valve: The water in your hot water tank builds up pressure as it works, and to protect you from an explosion, water heaters use a pressure relief valve. This valve opens when the pressure in the tank gets too high. Make sure this valve is working to avoid a disaster.
- Check the Anode Rod: The anode rod is a crucial component that determines how long your water heater lasts by protecting your heater from corrosion. If mineral buildup damaged the rod, replace it.
- Insulate: Good insulation reduces the work your water heater has to do to keep water warm, thus extending its life. Insulate both the tank and the pipes for best results.
If you’re not sure how to maintain your water heater, or if you’ve never performed maintenance on it, call a professional plumber like the experts at PlumbCrazy and ask about our water heater maintenance services.

AN IMPERFECT SCIENCE The locating instrument whines as it searches, now the backhoe starts to dig in great dirt clod gulps. It digs deeper than a foxhole deeper than a grave it seems, but finally the waterline is found. With many stops and starts with much calculation they fish out the old ruptured pipe to replace it with upgraded poly ready to encounter the underground of clay and roots for another thirty years they hope for our sake, Joel the plotter scratching gray beard, Mike backhoe ace, strong-backed despite his past strokes— a team for thirty years.
