Our Septic System Services
Signs Your Septic System Needs Service
Wastewater backing up into your home or slow-draining fixtures indicate your septic tank is full or there's a blockage requiring immediate attention.
Strong sewage smells near your septic tank or drain field indicate that your septic system is failing or needs immediate pumping. Never ignore these septic system warning signs as they can lead to complete system failure and costly emergency repairs.
Wet spots, pooling water, or unusually soggy areas near your drain field indicate system failure or overflow requiring professional repair.
While it may seem positive, excessively green or fast-growing grass over your septic drain field actually indicates leaking wastewater. This is a clear sign of septic system failure that requires professional inspection and repair to prevent environmental contamination.
Gurgling noises from toilets or drains when water is running suggest your septic tank is full and air is trapped in the lines.
Even without obvious problems, septic tanks need pumping every 3-5 years. Neglecting routine maintenance leads to expensive system failures.
Septic System Care Tips
💡 Schedule Regular Pumping
Have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage. Regular pumping prevents backups and extends system life significantly.
💡 Watch What You Flush
Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Never flush wipes, feminine products, medications, grease, or chemicals that can damage your system or contaminate groundwater.
💡 Conserve Water
Fix leaky faucets and toilets promptly. Spread laundry loads throughout the week. Install low-flow fixtures to reduce the volume overwhelming your septic system.
💡 Protect Your Drain Field
Never park vehicles or drive over your septic drain field as the weight can compact soil and crush pipes. Avoid planting trees within 30 feet of the drain field because tree roots can infiltrate and damage septic pipes. Keep the drain field area clear of structures, sheds, and heavy items to ensure proper septic system function.
💡 Use Septic-Safe Products
Choose biodegradable, septic-safe household cleaners. Avoid antibacterial soaps and harsh chemicals that kill beneficial bacteria essential for breaking down waste.
💡 Keep Records
Document pumping dates, inspections, and repairs. Know your tank's location and size. Having records helps with maintenance scheduling and troubleshooting problems.
