Catlett Va Septic Tank Service

Have you recently moved from a home that was connected to a city sewage system to one that has a septic tank? If so, then you’ve probably got more than a few questions! There’s an adjustment period to be sure, which is why we’re writing this article. In this piece, we’ll give you a quick overview of what you can expect from life with your new system.

The first and biggest difference is this: A septic system gives you a tremendous amount of freedom and independence, but that comes paired with a bit of additional responsibility. Ultimately, you’re responsible for your own waste treatment. A huge part of that is making sure your septic system is in good working order, and ultimately, that comes down to proper maintenance.

Our recommendation is that you have your septic tank pumped out and take advantage of our Catlett VA septic tank service every three to five years in order to minimize the risk of a serious system problem.

Unfortunately, septic systems don’t have any built in diagnostics or any way of self-correcting if a problem arises. If action isn’t taken, any problems the system has are bound to worsen over time, ultimately resulting in the backflow of raw sewage into your home. That’s a nightmare scenario that no homeowner wants to deal with, which is why our Catlett VA septic tank service is in such high demand!

It pays to remember too, that the 3-5 year timeframe we mentioned above is just a rule of thumb: A general guideline. Every household is different and your system might require service slightly more often than that.

The good news is that if you know what to look for, your system will give you hints and clues when it starts to struggle. Here are some of the common signs that there’s trouble brewing:

• You start noticing that the grass growing over your drain field is a different, brighter shade of green than the grass growing in the rest of your yard.
• There are areas of persistently wet, soggy, or muddy ground in the area of your drain field.
• Your toilets run constantly, and none of your usual fixes seem to help.
• Your sinks drain very slowly and again, none of your usual fixes seem to help.

If you see any of these, chances are good that you could benefit from our Catlett VA septic tank service. Just give us a call and we’ll send someone out to inspect your system. We’ll pump out the tank if needs be and figure out what’s causing the trouble.

Before we perform whatever work is necessary to fix it, we’ll give you a full report, along with a free estimate so you’ll have a firm understanding of what it will take to fix it. Then, assuming you’re comfortable with the estimate, we’ll get down to business. Before you know it, your system will be back to working as it should. Call us today. You’ll be very glad you did!
