Septic System FAQs

1. Is emergency assistance available on weekends?

Yes. Plumbing leaks and septic backups do not wait for business hours. EarthCare, A Wind River Company provides 24/7 emergency services to the Vernon community, covering weekends and holidays. We are always on standby to ensure you have professional help exactly when you need it.

2. What are the common causes of septic backups?

Backups can happen for several reasons. The most frequent culprit is neglecting routine pumping, which causes solids to accumulate and overflow into the drain field. Other potential causes include clogged filters or mechanical failures within the tank. If the backup is limited to a single fixture, it might be a simple drain clog, but a professional assessment is best to be sure.

3. How often is tank pumping necessary?

Generally, a tank should be pumped every one to three years. However, this timeline varies based on your specific situation. The size of the tank, the age of the system, and the number of people living in your home all influence the frequency. We can help you establish a maintenance schedule that suits your household’s needs.

4. Should I be home during the service appointment?

While your presence is not strictly required for outside work, we highly encourage it. Being there allows our technician to walk you through the service, show you the condition of your tank, and discuss any maintenance recommendations immediately. It is a valuable opportunity to learn more about how your system works.

5. How do I know if my septic tank is full?

Your system will often give you clues before a complete failure occurs. Watch for spongy, bright green grass over the drain field or standing water in the yard. Inside, look out for slow-moving drains, gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks, and unpleasant odors. If you spot these warning signs, contact us to schedule service immediately.
