FAQs

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PUMP MY SEPTIC TANK?

Most homes need septic pumping every 3–5 years, depending on household size and usage. We can help you set a maintenance schedule that prevents backups and costly repairs.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS MY SEPTIC TANK IS FULL?

Slow drains, gurgling pipes, foul smells, or pooling water near your drain field are all red flags. If you notice any of these, call us before it becomes an emergency.

CAN I USE BLEACH OR DRAIN CLEANER WITH A SEPTIC SYSTEM?

Not recommended. Harsh chemicals kill the natural bacteria your system needs to break down waste. We’ll show you safer, septic-friendly alternatives.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A SEPTIC INSPECTION?

We check tank levels, look for leaks or damage, inspect the baffles, and test flow from your home to the tank. It’s a full health check for your system.
