Common Questions About Septic Tank Pumping Services

Have a question about septic tank pump outs that is not listed here? Call us at the number below, and we will be happy to answer your questions!

How to tell if a home has a septic tank?

You can often tell if a home has a septic tank by checking property records, looking for a septic access lid or drain field in the yard, or confirming the absence of a municipal sewer connection. A professional inspection can quickly verify whether a septic system is present and assess its condition. 

What is the worst toilet paper for septic systems?

The worst toilet paper for septic systems is thick, ultra-soft, or “luxury” toilet paper. These are often the worst choices for septic systems because they break down slowly and contribute to clogs and sludge buildup. Septic-safe, single-ply toilet paper that dissolves quickly helps protect your tank and drain field. 

How to know when a septic tank needs pumping?

Common signs a septic tank needs pumping include slow drains, gurgling pipes, foul odors, pooling water, or sewage backups. Routine pumping every 3-5 years, based on household size and usage, helps prevent these issues before they occur. 

Is bleach bad for septic tanks?

Using bleach in large or frequent amounts can be harmful to septic tanks because it kills the beneficial bacteria that break down waste. Occasional, diluted use is usually safe, but excessive bleach can disrupt your septic system’s balance and performance.
