FrequentlyAskedQuestions

Watch for slow drains, standing water in your yard, foul smells near your tank or drain field, or gurgling sounds in your pipes. If you notice any of these, your system may be failing and should be inspected right away.
Most septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. If you have a larger household, frequent guests, or a business that uses water heavily, you may need it done more often. We recommend a full inspection every 1 to 2 years to catch problems early.
Yes. Tree roots are a common cause of drain field failure. They can grow into pipes, block water flow, and break lines underground. If you have large trees near your septic system, we can check for root damage and suggest ways to protect your field.

Backups are usually caused by a full tank, clogged pipes, or a damaged drain field. They can also happen if too much water enters the system at once. Keeping up with regular pumping and inspections is the best way to avoid these messy and expensive problems.
