Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How often should I pump my septic tank?

A: Typical guidance is every 3-5 years, but frequency depends on tank size, household size, and water use. We evaluate and recommend a custom pumping schedule.

Q: What items should never go down the drain?

A: Avoid wipes (even “flushable”), grease, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, diapers, and harsh chemicals – these accelerate clogging and harm bacterial action.

Q: Do you handle permits and health department paperwork?

A: Yes. We prepare and file permits, handle inspections, and provide documentation required by local agencies.
