Usually, your tank is located close to your house. Most newer tanks have a visible access pipe. Plumbers & septic service companies can help locate your tank as well. On rare occasions, you may need to contact the Health Department, which may have a record of where your tank is located.

Signs include gurgling noises from your pipes, backflow issues, and water level issues in your toilet. Our septic service can replace your tank!

Signs of septic issues include sewage on the ground surface, a foul sewage odor, backed-up toilets, bubbling toilets, clogged lines, backflow, and slow drains. Thankfully, our septic service team can find the root cause of your issue and solve it!

Garbage disposals are not recommended for septic tank systems. It adds too much solid waste to your septic system, increasing the chance you'll need septic service.

Medications, bleach, paper towels, wipes, grease, feminine hygiene products, and any product that can not be broken down should not be flushed. If they are flushed, contact a septic service before issues arise.

No, it is absolutely not safe. It causes damage to your septic system. Septic systems are made for human waste and medications can impact the breakdown of bacteria, causing your tanks to fill more quickly. Flushing medications can also lead to water contamination, leading to you needing a septic service.
