Frequently asked questions
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Septic tanks should generally be pumped every 3-5 years, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people in the household. Regular pumping helps prevent overflows and costly repairs.

Common signs include slow drains, unpleasant odors around the tank or drains, standing water in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your plumbing.

How do I prepare for a septic tank service?
Make sure your septic tank location is accessible. If you know the location of your tank or if it has green tabs, let us know in advance. Clearing any obstacles from the area can also help.
What is a riser, and why should I install one on my septic tank?
A riser is an extension that brings the tank access point closer to the surface, making it easier to locate and service. It reduces the need for digging and saves time during future maintenance.
Are there any products or practices I should avoid to protect my septic system?
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, grease, or harsh chemicals down your drains. These can disrupt the balance of your septic system and lead to blockages or damage.
