Q: How often should a septic system be serviced?

Regular septic system maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps everything operating efficiently. We take care of everything from repairs and diagnostics to pump and float replacements, as well as flushing lines, helping catch small issues before they become larger problems.

Q: What should I do if my septic system backs up?

If your septic system backs up, it’s important to contact a qualified professional right away. These issues are often repairable when caught early, and we can inspect the system, identify the cause and help get everything working properly again.

Q: What are the signs that my septic system needs maintenance?

Common signs that your septic system may need maintenance include slow drains, unusual odours, gurgling pipes, sewage backups or wet spots near the drain field. If something doesn’t seem right, it’s always best to have it inspected early.

Q: Can I flush anything down the septic system?

No. To protect your septic system long-term, it’s best to stick to septic-safe and biodegradable materials. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, harsh chemicals or other non-biodegradable items, as they can damage the system and lead to costly repairs.
