    SEPTIC PUMPING & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

    Silloway Septic Service is committed to helping you properly maintain your system. While sludge build-up is inevitable, regular maintenance can keep it manageable and reduce the risk of costly repairs or damage to your home.

    We recommend pumping your septic tank every three years and cleaning your filter annually to prevent future issues. Each septic tank pump service includes a basic tank evaluation to check the water level, scum/sludge layers, and condition of the baffles, as well as inspecting for cracks or leaks and ensuring that your tank covers are secure.

    Remember to avoid disposing of trash or grease down your toilets or drains and contact us immediately if you notice any septic odor or your system starts to back up.

    SEPTIC SYSTEM EVALUATION WITH CAMERA SCOPING

    A septic evaluation, also known as a septic inspection, is a comprehensive examination of a property's septic system to assess its functionality and identify any potential issues that may require repair or further evaluation. The septic camera is used to inspect the harder-to-see areas and identify problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. During a septic evaluation, we will check the following:

    1. HISTORY & RECORDS- We gather information about the system’s history, including septic plans, previous maintenance and inspections, as well as current wastewater information and usage.

    2. TANK & SYSTEM COMPONENTS- We check the condition of the tank, including the water level, scum/sludge layers, baffles, and filter, as well as pump/pump station and D-box.

    3. GROUND LEVEL- We inspect the area around the tank for any unusual signs such as odors, ponding, moisture, trees/bushes/shrubs, lush green grass, or illegal discharge of septage.

    4. CAMERA SCOPING- We use the septic camera to inspect both the inlet and outlet pipes, evaluating harder-to-see areas and identifying any problems such as debris, tree roots, line breaks, cracks, punctures, sags, grease buildup or obstructions.

    5. REPORT & PHOTOS- We provide a comprehensive report with photos of all our findings.
