"This company is incredible. I'm a local homebuilder in the CenTex area and have worked with Dan & Ben for many years before they acquired the Septic Division from another very well respected company, Quality Contractors. Septics alone, I have record of over 230 septics installed with Dan or Ben as the main point of contact. They are by the book and do the job well with practically 0 call backs."

"They were very prompt in contacting me, came out the very same day, and got my septic system back in service. Really nice service man. He was very patient with me concerning all my wrong, preconceived beliefs about septic system service. I will always use them in the future and highly recommend them."

"Almost as soon as I requested a quote, I got a call from We Pump It. Walter was working another job miles away, but said he could be there the same afternoon. He quoted a price based on my description of the problem. When he arrived, Walter quickly cleaned out my septic tank, patiently answering my questions without skipping a beat. When the job was done, I paid the quoted, very reasonable price. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. I recommend We Pump It to anyone needing septic service!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

Over time, your septic tank can accumulate a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the tank. If left unpumped and uncleaned, the sludge will back up into your pipes and home, causing failure and extensive (and smelly) damage. Repairs to your septic system can be costly, which is why regular maintenance is required. It takes about 30 minutes to pump a septic tank that’s 1,250 gallons or less or 1 hour for larger varieties.

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.

While homeowners connected to a municipal sewer line still have to keep up with plumbing maintenance, the downside to a septic system is that all the maintenance falls on the homeowners. Not calling in a pro to pump the tank every few years or accidentally flushing or draining the wrong types of materials can quickly cause clogs, which can back up into drains around the home.
