Septic Services FAQs

A: Septic installation begins with a site evaluation to determine the best location for your system. We handle the permitting process, install the septic tank, drain field, and connecting pipes, and ensure everything is designed to meet your specific needs. After installation, we provide guidance on maintenance to keep your system functioning properly.

Q: How often should my septic system be serviced?
A: Septic systems should generally be serviced every 3 to 5 years. Regular pumping, inspections, and maintenance will prevent costly repairs and keep your system working efficiently.

Q: What types of septic repairs do you offer?
A: We offer a range of septic repairs, including fixing leaks, clogged pipes, or damaged drain fields. If you notice slow drainage, sewage smells, or pooling water around your system, it may be time to call for repairs.

Field Lines FAQs

Q: What are field lines, and why are they important?
A: Field lines, also known as drain fields, are a crucial part of your septic system. They allow treated wastewater to be dispersed safely into the ground. If the field lines become clogged or damaged, it can lead to system backups or water contamination.

Q: How do I know if my field lines need repair?
A: Signs of failing field lines include slow drainage, foul odors, or soggy areas around the drain field. If you notice any of these, it’s essential to have your system inspected to prevent further damage.
