Pumping, drain fields & care

How often should I pump my septic tank in Roswell?

Every 3 to 5 years for most households, sooner for smaller tanks or larger families.

What are the signs my drain field is failing?

Soggy or bright green grass over the field, slow drains, yard odors, and indoor backups. See Drain Field Services.

Why does my system keep backing up?

A full tank, a clogged line, a broken baffle, or a failing field. An inspection identifies which. See Repair.

Do I need a perc test for a new system?

Yes — it is required to design and permit the system and largely sets the drain field. See Installation.

Can a failing drain field be repaired?

Sometimes — a clogged but not collapsed field can often be cleaned and rested rather than replaced.

How do I prevent expensive repairs?

Pump on schedule, keep grease and wipes out, and inspect periodically. See Maintenance.
