Septic guides
Start with septic tank maintenance basics, then move to pumping, warning signs, inspection, and records. For timing, see how often to pump a septic tank, and use the guide set to keep maintenance notes organized.
Well guides
Private wells put testing and upkeep on the owner, so our well guides focus on routine care, test timing, and pressure tank questions. Begin with well water maintenance and pair it with the test schedule tool.
Free tools
Use the free calculator and checklist to keep reminders in one place, then return to the guides when you need the next step. The tools are designed to support septic pumping, well testing, and simple record keeping, with a path to get the app.
Costs and rules
Costs and local rules vary, so these pages explain what to ask, where local requirements can change the answer, and how to compare options. For common questions, start at the FAQ and move into the cost and state pages as needed.
Rules differ by state and county. This is not legal advice. Confirm with your local health department or the state page.
