FAQ
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
As a general guide, most tanks need pumping every 3–5 years, depending on household size and tank size. A larger household or a smaller tank shortens the interval. This is general guidance, not a rule for your tank — a provider who has seen your system can give you a better answer.
Do I need a septic inspection when buying a house?
An inspection is commonly recommended, and sometimes required by a lender, when a property with a septic system changes hands. In Tennessee there is no county-mandated property-transfer inspection programme like the one in Snohomish County, WA — here an inspection is typically lender-driven. Even when nobody requires it, it is worth doing: a system that looks fine on the surface can be near the end of its life underground.
What are signs a septic system is failing?
Slow drains, sewage smells near the tank or drainfield, wet areas or unusually green grass over the drainfield, and sewage backing up into the house are common warning signs. If sewage is backing up into your home, do not use this form — call a local emergency septic provider directly right away.
Not sure what your system needs? Just ask.
Tell us what is happening with your system and where the property is, and Scott will call you back. If it is an emergency — sewage backing up into your home — do not use the form. Call a local emergency septic provider directly.
