Frequently asked questions
General
Signs of a full septic tank include slow or gurgling drains, foul odors around the tank or house, sewage backups, and unusually lush, green grass over the drain field. Other indicators are pooling water in the yard near the drain field and toilets that have trouble flushing.
You should clean your septic tank every 3 to 5 years, depending on household size, water use, and tank size. Larger families or high usage may need annual cleaning, while smaller households might go longer. Regular inspections every 1-3 years are crucial to prevent issues like backups or odors.
Pumping out a septic tank typically takes about 20-30 minutes per 1,000 gallons. Our team ensures efficient and thorough service to keep your system running smoothly.
The worst things for your septic system include flushing non-biodegradable items, excessive water usage, harsh chemicals, grease, driving over the drain field, tree roots, skipping maintenance, overloading garbage disposals, flushing medications, and rainwater runoff.
Land clearing is the process of removing trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from a piece of land. This is typically done in order to use the land for a specific purpose, such as farming, building development, or land management.
Fall. Fall provides cooler temperatures and reduced precipitation, creating comfortable working conditions. It's an excellent time to clear land before winter sets in, especially in regions where winter weather can impede outdoor work. Take advantage of fall foliage for biomass recycling or mulching where applicable
Cutting down a tree can be dangerous. While it might be necessary for firewood or if the tree is too close to structures, it's crucial to take proper safety precautions. We recommend leaving the job to professionals to ensure safety.
A small residential excavation, like digging for a swimming pool or basement, typically takes 1-3 days. Larger projects, such as commercial developments, may take weeks or months. Soil type and conditions significantly impact the timeline.
