Septic Tank Cleanings
Septic Tanks
Regular maintenance & a few simple rules will ensure the safety of your environment and help you avoid breakdowns.
If your septic tank is experiencing any of the following, it’s time for a cleaning:
- Noticeable odor near septic tank
- Backed up septic tank
- Clogged septic tank
- Dirty septic filter
- Drain field unusually dry
It is important to clean your septic tank on a regular basis. Septic tanks should be cleaned at a minimum of every three to five years, depending on usage, according to the Department of Health and Safety. Things that affect how soon your septic tank should be cleaned include:
Household size. The more people that live in your home, the sooner your septic tank will need to be cleaned to keep it working effectively
Septic tank maintenance. Take great care to ensure that only toilet paper and normal sewage get flushed. This will not only lengthen the time between septic tank cleanings, but will also extend the life of your septic tank.
Garbage disposal usage. The more you use your garbage disposal and what you put in it can also affect how often you have to clean your septic tank. Do you dispose of a lot of hard, greasy materials? If so, you could be drastically increasing the frequency of septic tank cleanings.

Regularly cleaning means removing excess buildup inside the tank. By removing all of the water and compacted sludge from the bottom of the tank, the solids and sludge are able to break down as designed. This will prevent potentially hazardous materials from passing into the drain field. Call now to request a cleaning at your home or business.
Hydro-Jetting to remove Blockages and Build up
Turn to No Drip Plumbing to keep your sewer lines clean. We specialize in hydro-jetting. Professional plumbing contractors use this method to clean clogged or slow sewer lines. By sending a blast of high-pressure water through the lines, blockages and buildup are broken up and dissolved, allowing water to flow freely.
Hydro jetting can successfully remove debris that accumulates in the home’s plumbing pipes, such as hair, soap residue, grease and even tree roots and mineral and scale build ups can be removed by hydro jetting.
Drain Field Systems
Drain fields are a critical part of any well-functioning septic system, which is essentially a backyard sewage treatment plant designed to treat the waste produced by the occupants of a home or business. When it comes to septic systems the septic drain field (leach field) is one of the most expensive aspects and the one that goes unnoticed the most until it is causing problems.
How does the drain field function?
A drain field is designed with a trenched bed designed with Arc 24 chambers that are laid into the trenched bed allowing the wastewater to drain through the side gills of the chambers. As the water is absorbed bacteria is filtered out by the soil.
How to prevent a drain field failure?
Regular septic system maintenance is crucial to maintain the longevity of the system by pumping out all the solid of the tank every 2-3 years.
How do you know if the drain field is not working properly?
You can notice you have a failing drain field when you have foul odor in the yard, the plumbing backs up, and the ground is wet or mushy over the drain field area.
