About this service

Emptying a septic tank involves using a specialized vacuum pump to remove the sludge and floating scum that fills the tank. You should have this done every few years, depending on your household size and water usage, to ensure solids don't push into your drain field. Ignoring this leads to sewage backups in your home or total system failure. We use heavy-duty equipment to ensure the tank is fully cleared. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is an ideal time for septic maintenance before the ground hardens. Clearing your tank now ensures that you start the holiday season without worrying about plumbing issues. A quick inspection can identify any buildup or potential clogs before they turn into an emergency when you are hosting friends and family.

Frequently asked in Aurora

How often should I get my septic tank pumped in Aurora?

For a typical 1000-gallon septic tank in Aurora, Colorado, pumping is usually recommended every 3 to 5 years. This frequency can change based on your household's water usage and the number of people living there. Regular pumping prevents solids from building up too much, which can clog your drain field and lead to expensive repairs. It’s a preventative measure that keeps your entire system functioning efficiently. Call us to discuss your specific needs.

What does a septic pump service involve for Aurora homeowners?
What factors influence the cost of installing a new septic tank in Aurora?

The cost to install a septic tank in Aurora depends on several things. The size of the tank needed, the type of tank you choose, and the complexity of the excavation required are major factors. Soil conditions on your property and the accessibility of the site also play a role. The type of drain field system needed can also affect the overall price. We can give you a precise quote over the phone.

Are there treatments I should use in my septic tank in Aurora?

While some septic tank treatments claim to help, it's best to rely on regular pumping and proper waste disposal in Aurora. Many products designed for septic systems can disrupt the natural bacteria needed for waste breakdown. Using excessive chemicals or flushing inappropriate items can cause more harm than good. The most effective approach is professional maintenance. We can advise you on best practices.

What general septic services are available for homes in Aurora?

General septic services in Aurora include routine inspections, pumping, cleaning, and repairs to both the septic tank and the drain field. If you're experiencing slow drains, sewage odors, or standing water in your yard, these are signs that you need a professional. These services are designed to keep your system working efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns. We're here to help you get the right service scheduled.

What are the common types of septic systems used in Aurora?

In Aurora, you'll commonly find conventional septic systems, which include a septic tank and a drain field. Other types, like aerobic treatment units (ATUs), are also used, especially where soil conditions or lot sizes require them. Each system has specific maintenance needs to ensure it functions correctly and efficiently. Understanding your system type is the first step to proper care. We can help you identify yours.

How are septic field repairs typically handled in Aurora?

Septic field repairs in Aurora usually involve assessing the drain field for clogs, damage, or failure. This can mean excavating sections to replace damaged pipes, adding more soil for better drainage, or even installing a new drain field if the old one is beyond repair. The goal is to restore proper wastewater dispersal into the soil. We can arrange for the pros to diagnose your drain field issues.
