Professional Septic Pumping and Repairs

As septic tanks do the essential work of breaking down household waste, solids and scum can build up on the bottom and at the top of the tank if the system isn’t well-maintained. If either of these elements is allowed to reach a critical point of buildup, this can result in clogs and other backups in your systems. To make sure this doesn’t happen, septic systems require draining and pumping at regular intervals to remove any waste.

Our septic tank services follow tried-and-true maintenance schedules so you never have to worry about this part of your property. Companies that handle property evaluation for real estate typically advise that homeowners and other building managers have septic tanks inspected by a Pasadena septic specialist at least once every year, with pumping being done at a maximum of every three years.

Some warning signs that your tank may need a pumping service include:

Pooling water
Lush grass
Noises within the system
Slow-running drains
Foul smells

When to Get a Septic Tank Inspected

Septic tanks should generally be inspected every three to five years. Regular inspections help make sure that the system is functioning properly and try to catch issues before they require costly repairs or replacements.

However, the frequency of inspections can vary based on several factors, including:

Household size: Larger households may require more frequent inspections due to increased usage.
Tank size: Smaller tanks may need more frequent inspections and pumping.
System age: Older systems might need more attention.
Usage habits: If you use a garbage disposal or frequently dispose of non-biodegradable items, more frequent inspections might be necessary.

Signs Your Septic Tank Should be Replaced

Owning a home with a septic system requires a certain level of maintenance and awareness, especially when it comes to recognizing when your septic tank might need to be replaced.

Give us a call if you notice the following:

Persistent Odors

A strong, unpleasant smell is one of the most noticeable signs of a failing septic system. This odor can emanate from drains, toilets, or the area around your septic tank and drain field. Such smells occur when waste is not being processed correctly, often due to a full or damaged tank.

Slow Drains

Drains that consistently take a long time to empty despite regular unclogging efforts may indicate that your septic tank is not processing waste efficiently. This can be due to a blockage or a tank that is nearing capacity.

Standing Water

Water pooling or soggy patches in your yard, particularly around the drain field, can signal septic system failure. This often means that wastewater is not being absorbed into the soil properly, possibly due to a saturated drain field or a leak.

Sewage Backups

Frequent sewage backups in your home are a serious indicator that your septic tank is failing. This happens when the tank is too full or there is a blockage preventing waste from leaving the home.

Overly Lush Grass

While a green lawn is generally a good thing, overly lush and rapidly growing grass over the septic area can indicate a leak in the system. The excess nutrients from leaking sewage can cause this effect.

Age of the System

Septic systems typically last between 20 to 30 years. The materials degrade over time, and older systems are more prone to problems.
