Reach out to our team anytime—we’re happy to help!

How often should I pump my septic tank?

Most systems should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage, household size, and tank capacity. Larger families or homes with high water usage may require more frequent pumping.

What are the signs of a failing septic system?

Warning signs include:

- Slow or backed-up drains

- Gurgling toilets

- Foul odors around your yard

- Wet or soggy spots in your drain field

- High grass or plant growth in one specific area

If you notice any of these, call us immediately at (479) 322-1435.

Can I use household cleaners with a septic system

Yes—but in moderation. Avoid heavy use of bleach, antibacterial soaps, or harsh drain cleaners. These can kill the beneficial bacteria your system needs to break down waste.

Do you offer emergency septic services?

Yes. If you're dealing with a septic backup, overflow, or total failure, contact us at (479) 322-1435. We’re available for emergency response throughout Charleston and neighboring communities.

What’s included in a septic inspection?

Our septic inspections include checking:

- Tank condition and capacity

- Sludge and scum levels

- Baffles, lids, and filters

- Drain field performance

- Water flow and drainage performance

We also provide inspection reports for real estate transactions.

How long does a septic tank last?

With proper maintenance, a septic tank can last 20 to 40 years. The drain field, however, may need repairs or replacement sooner depending on soil conditions and usage habits.

Can you install new septic systems?

Absolutely. We offer complete installation services for new construction, system upgrades, and property expansions. We handle everything from permitting to final inspection.

- Fort Smith
