  • For Homeowners

Septic questions, answered simply.

Common warning signs include slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, standing water near the tank or drainfield, or unusually green grass around the system. If you notice these symptoms, schedule service before the problem becomes a backup.
Pumping frequency depends on tank size, household size, system type, and usage. Many systems are serviced every few years, but the best schedule is based on your specific system and maintenance history.
A conventional system typically relies on gravity and soil treatment, while an aerobic system uses mechanical components and added oxygen to treat wastewater before dispersal. Aerobic systems generally require more routine monitoring and maintenance.
