Common questions
- How often should a septic tank be pumped?
- Most household septic tanks should generally be pumped every three to five years. The correct schedule depends on household size, tank size, water usage, garbage-disposal use, and the amount of solids entering the system. The company cites U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance on this point.
- What are the signs a septic tank needs pumping?
- Common warning signs include slow sinks, tubs, or toilets, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, wastewater backing up into the home, standing water near the tank or drain field, unusually green grass over the drain field, or a septic alarm sounding. The company notes these symptoms can also indicate a blocked line, a damaged component, a pump problem, or a failing drain field, and that pumping alone may not correct every problem.
- Does the company service commercial systems?
- It services residential septic systems and qualifying light-commercial systems. The company notes that commercial systems may require more frequent maintenance because of higher wastewater usage.
- What information is needed to schedule service?
- The company asks callers to provide the property address, the problem being experienced, the approximate location of the tank, and any available service records or photographs.
