Question 1

How often should I pump my septic tank?

Accepted Answer

Most residential tanks should be pumped every 3–5 years, depending on tank size, household size and water usage. Aerobic systems typically need inspection every 4 months under a maintenance contract.

Question 2

What are signs my septic system is failing?

Accepted Answer

Slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage odors, soggy or unusually green spots over the drain field, and sewage backing up into the home are all warning signs. Call us right away if you notice any of these.

Question 3

What is an aerobic septic system vs conventional?

Accepted Answer

A conventional system uses a tank and gravity drain field. An aerobic system adds oxygen with an aerator to break waste down faster, then disperses treated water through sprinklers or drip lines. Aerobic systems are common where soil is poor.

Question 4

How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Most restaurants need grease trap pumping every 30–90 days. A good rule is to clean when grease and solids reach 25% of the trap's capacity. Local codes may set specific schedules.

Question 5

Do I need a septic inspection before selling my home?

Accepted Answer

It's strongly recommended, and many lenders and buyers require one. A pre-sale inspection documents the system's condition and helps avoid surprises at closing.

Question 6

What does TCEQ licensing mean?
