Called Speedie’s for an emergency and they were unfortunately already booked solid. (Always good sign)
Five minutes later they’re calling back to come through in a clutch situation and save the day!
Nancy, Vanessa and Angie are all amazing to speak to over the phone and Blake our service professional in the truck did a great job!

This company actually fixed our problem! Cannot say enough nice things about them.
Our basement has always smelled a bit odd. Sometimes worse and then I would call a septic company to pump. The smell has always been there, driving me crazy! I replaced carpet, painted, cleaned the bathroom over and over, all for nothing. It just smelled like urine down there. We’ve had other companies tell us that we need to pump every other year because of frequent use. Richard from Speedy Septic is the ONLY technician who noticed that our tank was not full of sludge but of water, which was constantly pushing up the level of the sludge and sending odors back into the home. The problem was solved and after 10 years of living in this home I can walk downstairs without smelling anything. I can’t praise them more highly! Thank you guys for blessing me with good work and a desire to notice and figure out the problem.

My apology for not posting sooner. Amazing job... I was in need of a underground cable to replace an existing overhead line from our home to the barn. This had to be accomplished without interfering with the drain lines from the septic system (the depth required for the ditch... 20"). Trevin proved to be the expert locator. His assist... Fernando, quite a team.
We watched as Trevin and Fernando uncovered the tank, the distribution box, inspected the line from the house, answered questions, put the camera to work and more. Trevin used the locator to track the lines and probed the length of each line to its final end.
I learned I had four lines not two as I thought... Two are conjunction lines... they appear to go under the barn and a large shed.
Trevin left me with an amazing line drawing which indicates driveway, home, back deck, septic system and out buildings. Each drain line flagged and measured.
I then felt at ease, that we could move forward with the electric cable install and retain the integrity of the drain field.
The ditch met electrical requirements, cable is installed, first county inspection passed with final tomorrow, so we can than initiate the go switch.
Should you like a copy of the line drawing for my file, I would be happy to send a copy.
Many thanks to Trevin, Fernando.

Trevin with Speedy Septic was pleasant and very knowledgable about our Septic needs. Same day and prompt service was greatly appreciated. We had Speedy Septic service care for our septic needs when last needed and recommend them to anyone needing prompt and reliable service

This service appointment was great. I genuinely appreciate the rapid response to our call. That said, the fact we’ve now had the same issues with loose wiring dating back to the April 2025 work is incredibly problematic. It’s bad for a customer to have septic issues caused by questionable work and bad for the business to continually have to send technicians back to fix the issues.
Generally, 40 years or more if properly maintained. The type of septic system you have will also determine how long it will last for.
Is it Cheaper to Repair Your Septic System than it is to Pump It?
No, while pumping a septic system can be costly every 3 to 5 years, it’s significantly cheaper than it would be to repair your septic system. To repair a septic system it often costs thousands of dollars, which you can save by having your septic system pumped once every 3 to 5 years.
Are Septic Systems Bad for the Environment?
No, unless they’re not properly taken care of. If untreated sewage is floating around on your property it can contaminate your property and groundwater. Sewage issues can also cause potential health hazards.
Does a Septic System Require Electricity?
No, most septic tanks don’t require electricity to function, but this all depends on the type of septic system you have. If your septic system uses a pump, you’ll want to conserve water during a power outage.
Can You Use a Garbage Disposal with a Septic Tank?
Yes, just be vigilant about what you’re putting down your garbage disposal, not putting anything other than food waste down it.
Is it OK to Build on Top Of Your Septic System as Long as it’s Not a Permanent Structure?
No, your septic system should be easily accessible and your drainfield needs oxygen to help it naturally treat the wastewater it receives from the septic tank. If you build on top of the drainfield, it won’t properly get the oxygen it needs and thus lead to failure. It’s best to avoid building or driving on top of septic systems.
How Often Should My Septic Tank be Pumped?
Generally, your septic tank should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but this depends on the size and type of septic system you have.
Where Should a Septic Tank be Placed?
Septic tanks should be placed on level ground where there is at least 8 feet or more of soil.
What Do I Need to Know About Buying a House with a Septic Tank?
It’s a good idea to have it inspected so you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with. An inspection will determine the age of your septic system, it will help uncover any issues, and it will determine if you need it pumped.
How Long Does it Take to Install a Septic System?
It typically takes about 3 to 5 days to install a septic system but this depends on your location, the weather, the wastewater treatment system, and local regulations.
What are the Signs My Septic Tank is Full?
The best way to know when to pump a septic tank is to check the levels of the solids. To determine if pumping is necessary, we perform a sludge test. A sludge test should only be performed by a qualified septic technician to measure if the solid level is high enough for pumping.
Does Rid-X or Yeast Work on Septic Tanks?
Rid-X and yeast isn’t good for septic tanks because it can harm or kill off the “good bacteria” that helps break down and clarify the build-up in a septic tank. In fact, the EPA states that people should “beware of septic tank additives” and that “periodic pumping is the only true way to ensure that septic systems work properly and provide many years of service.”
Will I be Reported if I Have a Failing Septic System?
No, septic service companies don’t regulate septic systems. In Oregon, we are only required to report untreated sewage flowing above ground into a waterway. Our job is to help you, your family, your home, and your septic system to ensure they all work together in the best way possible. It’s in everyone’s best interest to help you fix your septic system before it gets to this extreme.
We at Speedy Septic hope if you have any questions about your septic system or are experiencing issues, you contact us. We’d be happy to help!
