How often should septic tanks be pumped?

Generally, septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years. However, it can vary based on usage and household size. County Inspections are required every 3 years.

If I flush a lot of wipes, feminine products, or other non‑septic‑safe items, do I need my tank pumped?

Most likely, yes. Flushing wipes, feminine products, paper towels, and similar items can cause backups, clogs, and faster tank buildup, which usually means a full pump is needed to protect your system.

What if I don’t think I need my tank pumped?

No problem at all. If you're unsure, we are more than happy to start with an inspection only. An inspection is often the most affordable option and can save you money if pumping isn’t necessary. After we take a look, you can choose to schedule pumping with us or we can connect you with another trusted local contractor.

Can you perform camera inspections to diagnose problems?

Absolutely! Our camera inspections are ideal for locating clogs and assessing necessary repairs accurately.

Are you able to conduct county maintenance inspections?

Yes, as certified professionals, we facilitate county-required septic system inspections.
