The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends cleaning your home septic system tank every three to five years. The specific frequency depends on factors such as home size, tank capacity, and wastewater production. Our certified professionals can assist you in maintaining an efficient system tailored to your needs.

Common indicators of potential septic issues include unpleasant odors, slow-draining plumbing fixtures, gurgling sounds, and water pooling near the septic tank area. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to have your system inspected promptly.

For the health of your septic system, it's crucial to flush only toilet paper. Despite marketing claims, even products labeled as 'flushable,' such as baby wipes or flushable wipes, do not break down adequately in septic systems and should be disposed of in the trash.

A septic system inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your system's condition and functionality. This multi-point assessment checks for signs of deterioration, examines water flow into and out of the tank, evaluates field line intake, and ensures the system meets current capacity code requirements. Regular inspections are vital for maintaining system health and preventing costly issues.

Typically, a standard septic tank cleaning service can be completed in under an hour. This efficient process ensures minimal disruption to your daily routine while maintaining the health of your septic system.
