We've heard many stories of people going much longer but missing routine pumping can cause septic solids to get into your drain field.  Even a new septic field costing tens of thousands of dollars doesnt stand a chance against  an over accumulation of solids blocking the pipes.

Common signs include:

• slow drains
• gurgling sounds in the plumbing, 
• foul odors around the septic tank or drain field
• wet spots in your yard. 

If you notice any of these, contact us for an inspection.

No, flushing wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, or other non-biodegradable items can clog your septic system and cause costly damage.

Stick to flushing only toilet paper and human waste only.

If your septic tank is backing up, call us immediately for our 24/7 emergency septic services. We’ll quickly respond to your call and resolve the issue to prevent further damage.

To extend the life of your septic field, consider our septic field rehab service, which uses water jetting techniques to clear out accumulated debris from the lines. Regular pumping (every year to 18 months for a household of 4 people) is also crucial to maintaining a healthy system and preventing field failure.

Sometimes they're conspicuously hiding under a green lid in your yard. Typically on a low side of your house.

If you’re unsure where your septic tank is located, our team can help. We offer septic tank locating services to find and mark your tank for easy access during maintenance and pumping.

The cost of septic tank pumping can be affected by several factors, including : 

• how full the tank is
• the distance from the tank to the truck sometimes that slows suction
• the vertical distance our pump needs to pull
• how easy or difficult the tank is to access. (is it in a confined space? is there 3 feet of digging to access?)
