Frequently Asked Questions

1 / Where is my septic tank?

If your property as an as-built on file, we can use that to help us locate your system components. If not, we can use specialized camera equipment to help us locate components by accessing a cleanout.

2 / How can I prolong the life of my septic system?

Verifying all septic components are in place and in good condition and regular pumping is recommended. We can help determine the condition of components and we can recommend the pumping schedule for your specific usage.

Installing an outlet baffle filter and cleaning it every 6 months.​

Pressure systems:  Annual inspection and flushing of the pressure distribution pipes is recommended.

Gravity systems: Inspecting septic components every 3 years is recommended; jetting the drainfield pipe to remove scum and debris as needed; annual D-Box cleaning and re-leveling speed levelers to ensure even distribution of effluent through all drainfield laterals.

3 / I was told my drainfield was failed. Can you fix it?

Oftentimes we can improve draining of effluent by water jetting to remove scum, grease, and debris. We can attempt this before jumping straight to a costly full system replacement.
