Frequently Asked Questions For Septic Systems

  • Question: How often do I need my septic tank pumped?

    Answer: We recommend at least every 5 years, and in most counties, this is a county ordinance.

  • Question: Why do I need my septic tank pumped?

    Answer: Over time, if not pumped regularly, the solids build up in the tank and can pass by the main tee and clog your drain field resulting in costly repairs.

  • Question: How long does it take to pump a septic tank?

    Answer: Most tanks can be pumped in 30-45 minutes.

  • Question: Do I need to be home when my tank is pumped?

    Answer: As long as you are not having any problems the answer is no, you do not need to be home. However, payment must be worked out prior to service.

  • Question: How much does it cost to pump a septic tank?

    Answer: It depends on the size of the tank as well as its location. Please contact us for exact pricing.

  • Question: For pricing, why does it matter if I have a four-bedroom when we only use two?

    Answer: The size of your septic tank (1000 gallons, 1250 gallons, etc) is based on the number of potential occupants of the home. Even though you do not use all of the bedrooms, your tank will still hold that capacity of waste and water in between pumpings.
