Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my septic tank be pumped?

Pumping frequency depends on factors like tank size, number of people using the system, and the type of sewage going down the drain. If your septic tank is property sized and the baffles are intact, it should have enough capacity for three to eight years of usage.

If you are unsure of the last time your septic tank was pumped, it may be time. A neglected septic system can result in unwanted emergencies or costly repairs.

How much will it cost to have my septic tank pumped?

The cost to have your septic tank pumped can vary depending on the size of your septic tank, how accessible your septic tank lid is, and how close you are to the nearest dump station.

It is best to call and get quick, over the phone quote for the septic tank on your property. 541-660-2953

How can I tell if my septic tank is full?

It is a common misconception that a septic tank slowly fills up over the years and only needs to be pumped when it is "full".

However, a septic tank actually fills up to operating level in just a few days. While at operating level, liquid and solids flow in to the septic tank and replace an equal volume of existing liquid: 2 gallons of liquid and solids in, 2 gallons of liquid out, 5 gallons of liquid and solids in, 5 gallons of liquid out, etc. The septic tank retains any solids coming in from the home or business it is serving.

That being the case, a septic tank is "full" and ready to be pumped when the solids that are retained in the septic tank occupy a certain percentage of the septic tank's capacity.

Where is my septic tank located?

Modern septic tanks that meet DEQ standards have access risers located at the surface of the ground. Often, these are green plastic and are between 20" and 30" in diameter.

If those are not present on your property, you may have an older septic tank. You can refer to county records to see if there is a map of your septic system.

If all else fails, we can use a plumbing camera that emits a radio signal from the tip. Then we detect that signal using a handheld wand to get a precise location.

What is the size of my septic tank?

In Oregon, a 1,000-gallon septic tank is required for homes with up to four bedrooms. If your home is larger or requires a pump, then your septic tank may be 1,500 gallons or more.

Septic tanks installed before 1979 can be 500 to 750 gallons. It should be noted that these smaller tanks require more frequent pumping.

How does a septic system work?

A septic system works by collecting wastewater from your home's plumbing and allowing it to settle in the septic tank. The solids settle to the bottom and are broken down by bacteria. The liquid flows through the outlet pipe and is filtered through the drain field before being absorbed into the soil and water table.
