Complete Septic Tank Services
Keep your septic system healthy with our professional services. Regular maintenance prevents expensive emergencies.
Why Septic Maintenance Matters
Your septic system is one of the most expensive components of your home—and one of the most ignored until something goes wrong. A backed-up septic system isn't just inconvenient; it can cause thousands of dollars in property damage and create serious health hazards.
We recommend pumping every 3-5 years depending on household size and water usage. Think of it like changing the oil in your car—regular maintenance is far cheaper than major repairs later.
Warning Signs You Need Service
- ⚠ Slow drains throughout the house
- ⚠ Foul odors near tank or drain field
- ⚠ Wet, soggy spots in yard
- ⚠ Toilet backing up or gurgling
- ⚠ Bright green grass over tank area
Our Septic Services
Tank Pumping
Regular pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank, preventing them from clogging the drain field. We pump all tank sizes and dispose of waste properly at licensed facilities.
System Inspection
Comprehensive inspection includes checking tank integrity, baffles, lids, distribution box, and drain field condition. We provide a written report for your records or real estate transactions.
Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Effluent filters protect your drain field from solids. We clean or replace filters to maintain proper flow and prevent costly damage.
Riser & Lid Installation
Bring your septic tank access up to ground level. Risers make future pumping and inspections much easier—no more digging!
Repairs & Troubleshooting
From broken baffles to damaged lids to drain field issues—we diagnose and repair all septic problems. We provide options for every budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most households need pumping every 3-5 years. Factors that affect frequency include household size (number of people), water usage volume, and whether you have a garbage disposal. A family of 4 with a garbage disposal will need more frequent pumping than a couple without one.
When solids build up too high, they flow into the drain field and clog the soil. A clogged drain field is very expensive to replace—often $10,000 or more. Regular pumping costs a fraction of that and protects your entire system.
We don't recommend relying on additives. While some products claim to reduce pumping needs, nothing replaces physical removal of solids. The EPA and most health departments agree that regular pumping is the best maintenance practice.
Not necessarily. We just need access to the tank lid. If your tank is buried and you don't have risers, someone does need to be home so we can locate the tank. If you have risers, we can often complete the service while you're away.
If you're not sure, we can often determine this during our visit. Standard residential tanks range from 750 to 1,500 gallons. Most homes built after 1990 have 1,000 gallon tanks. We can also look up permits from the health department if available.
