Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a pump required for every septic system?

No, pumps are not universal components of all systems. Generally, setups are divided into gravity-fed systems and pressure distribution systems. A gravity system relies on the natural elevation changes of your land to move waste from the tank to the drain field, requiring no mechanical assistance. However, pressure distribution systems use a pump to disperse effluent evenly throughout the drain field, which is often necessary for certain landscapes to ensure proper treatment.

2. What causes a septic system to back up?

Backups are stressful, and the root cause should always be diagnosed by a professional. The most common culprit is failing to schedule routine pumping, which causes solid waste to build up and overflow. Other issues may include a clogged effluent filter that stops liquid from exiting the tank. If the backup is isolated to one fixture, such as a kitchen sink, it may simply be a blockage in the interior plumbing that requires drain cleaning.

3. How frequently should I schedule septic pumping?

While the standard recommendation is to pump your tank every one to two years, there is no single rule for every home. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the capacity of your tank, the age of the system, the number of residents in your home, and your household's average water consumption. We can help you determine the best schedule for your specific needs.

4. Do I need to be present during the service appointment?

While it is not mandatory for you to be on-site, we highly recommend it. If you are home, our technicians can immediately walk you through their findings. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and discuss immediate repairs or long-term maintenance strategies based on the real-time condition of your system.
