- CTCharles ThomasOct 30, 20255.0Had Greg come out yesterday to pump my tank. Great guy, did a great job with a tank that should have been pumped years earlier. Took the time to make sure the tank was cleaned and working. Definitely won’t wait so long for the next cleaning. Highly recommend this company.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hartland Septic
Do I even have a septic tank?
If you live in the country or outside the city limits most likely you have a septic tank. If you don’t get a monthly sewer bill from the city, most likely you have a septic tank.
How does my septic system work?
A septic system has four main components: a pipe from the home or business, a spetic tank, a drainfield, and the soil. Wastewater from your toilet, bath, kitchen, and laundry flows though a pipe from your home and into the septic tank. Microbes in the soil digest or remove most contaminants from the wastewater before it eventually reaches groundwater.
What can I flush down my toilet?
Despite what the package may say, some things you just shouldn’t flush. Baby wipes, baby diapers, grown up wipes, tampons, tampon applicators, dental floss, q-tips, cigarette butts, grease, toys, none of this stuff should go into your septic tank. I know they say they are flushable but they do not break down like organic material does.
Household chemicals are another no-no. Gasoline, oil, pesticides antifreeze, paint, etc. Chemicals kill the benificial bacteria contained in your septic system and can disrupt or even stop the breakdown of solids contained in your septic tank.
How often should my tank be pumped?
Depending on how many people live in the house, and how big your tank is you should probably have your tank pumped every 3 years. If you have 5 people in your house and only have a 1200-gallon tank you may want to do it more often, say every 2 years. If there is just one of you then you may be able to go about 5 years. An easy way to tell if you need your tank pumped is by having risers installed on your tank for easy access for inspection. All you would have to do is pop the top and see if the solids and toilet paper have built up if they have, give us a call.
Where is my tank located?
You may be able to find the lids or manhole covers for your septic tank by gently tapping a steel rod into the ground starting about 10 feet from the point where the pipe leaves your house. You can also wait for a light snowfall and observe where the snow melts first. Sometimes your local county health department may have a drawing of your septic tank and drainfield in their files.
What are some warnings of Septic System trouble?
Some or all of these symptoms could indicate trouble with your system.
Odors, surface sewage, wet spots, around the drainfield area.
Plumbing or septic tank back-ups.
Slow draining fixtures (not due to a local clogging).
Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
Do I have a septic tank if I live outside city limits?
If you live in the country or outside city limits and do not receive a monthly sewer bill, you most likely have a septic tank.
How does a septic system function?
A septic system consists of a pipe from your home, a septic tank, a drainfield, and soil where microbes digest most contaminants before wastewater reaches groundwater.
What items should I avoid flushing down my septic system?
Avoid flushing baby wipes, diapers, tampons, dental floss, cigarette butts, grease, household chemicals, and other non-organic materials as they harm the septic system.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Typically, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 years, but this can vary based on tank size and household occupancy.
How can I locate my septic tank?
You can find septic tank lids by probing the ground near where the pipe leaves your house or checking with your local county health department for tank drawings.
