Frequently Asked Questions About Shady Knoll Septic Service, LLC
How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
The frequency of septic tank pumping typically ranges from 3 to 5 years, depending on factors such as tank size and household occupancy. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent expensive repairs and system malfunctions.
What are the signs that my septic system needs service?
Indicators that your septic system requires attention include sluggish drains, plumbing that produces gurgling noises, unpleasant odors around your property, water pooling near the drain field, or sewage backing up into toilets or sinks.
What's involved in a septic system installation?
A septic system installation encompasses several steps: evaluating the site, testing the soil, designing the system, excavating the area, placing the tank, installing the drain field, and conducting a final inspection to obtain necessary permits.
What should I avoid putting down the drain to protect my septic system?
To safeguard your septic system, refrain from disposing of grease, oils, fats, harsh chemicals, and non-biodegradable items such as wipes or diapers down the drain. Additionally, limit excessive water usage from laundry or prolonged showers.
How do I know what size septic tank I need?
The appropriate septic tank size is determined by the number of bedrooms in your home and your daily water consumption. This information will be clearly outlined on the required permit.
What is a drain field and how does it work?
A drain field consists of a series of perforated pipes that distribute treated wastewater into the surrounding soil. It serves a crucial function in filtering and absorbing the effluent from your septic system.
Can heavy rain affect my septic system?
Indeed, heavy rainfall can oversaturate the drain field, potentially causing slow drainage or backups. Proper land grading and regular system maintenance can help alleviate these issues.
Do you offer emergency septic services?
We provide round-the-clock emergency septic services to address urgent situations such as system backups, overflows, or failures.
How can I extend the life of my septic system?
