Pumping is just one part of septic servicing. Full servicing includes pumping the tank, inspecting components (like baffles and filters), checking the drain field, and identifying any signs of wear, damage, or system failure. It’s a comprehensive health check for your entire septic system.
We recommend servicing your septic system at least once per year. Pumping may only be needed every 3–5 years, but annual inspections catch small issues early and keep your system operating efficiently.
Our technicians will:
- Inspect the tank, lids, baffles, and piping
- Measure sludge and scum levels
- Clean or replace outlet filters
- Check for leaks or blockages
- Assess drain field performance
- Provide a report with recommendations
Servicing typically takes 45–90 minutes, depending on your system’s size and condition.
Even if everything “seems fine,” damage can occur underground long before surface symptoms appear. Routine servicing prevents expensive failures and ensures your system remains compliant with Arkansas regulations.
It’s helpful but not always necessary. As long as we have access to the tank lid, we can complete most services without entering your home. If we find anything concerning, we’ll provide a detailed report and walk you through the next steps.
