Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

Most homes need pumping every 3–5 years, but household size, water use, tank size, and disposal habits can shorten or extend that interval. We base recommendations on actual measurements taken during service.

What are early signs my septic system needs repair?

Slow drains, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, wet spots in the yard, recurring clogs, or effluent filter problems are all warning signs that should be addressed early.

Why do septic problems get worse after heavy rain?

Heavy rain can saturate soil, raise groundwater levels, and introduce clear water into the system, overwhelming the tank and drain field. Proper diagnosis helps determine whether the issue is temporary or structural.

Is septic tank repair better than replacement?

If the tank structure is sound, targeted repairs often extend system life significantly at a much lower cost. Replacement is usually reserved for collapsed tanks, severe deterioration, or confirmed drain field failure.

Are septic additives necessary?

Most systems do not need additives when they’re pumped regularly and used responsibly. Some products can actually increase the risk of drain field damage. Maintenance—not additives—is the safest approach.
