Usually, when we come to your home, we can locate and find the septic tank right away using a probe rod. If we are unable to locate the septic tank with a probe rod, we also have a septic tank locator.

It is best to have your septic tank pumped out every 3-5 years. Over the course of years, the consistent flow of water from your home to your drain field can be a lot. Eventually, over time your drain lines can become oversaturated from a constant flow of water. This results in drain line failure. Pumping your septic system regularly gives the system a break from all the water that is constantly being used in the home. We offer 5 year plans that we can set you up on to have your septic tank pumped every 5 years. Preventative maintenance is key.

The first question most homeowners ask when installing a septic system is, “How much does it cost?” The answer to this can all depend on what materials are needed, what type of work and how much time it involves, and if there are any other unforeseen issues that arise. This can vary depending on the layout of the land, soil type, and size of the home.

The first thing that a homeowner needs to do is apply for a permit with the county’s environmental health department. Once the permit is issued, it will tell you where the septic system will need to be installed. This will determine what size septic tank and how many feet of drain line will need to be installed for the septic system.

Most homes will need to have 1,000-gallon septic tanks. Bigger homes will need to have 1,500-gallon septic tanks.
