    SEPTIC PUMPING & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

    Silloway Septic Service is dedicated to helping you properly maintain your system. There is no way to avoid sludge build-up, but routine maintenance will keep it at a manageable level and reduce the need for costly repairs or damage to your home.

    We recommend pumping your septic tank about every three years and cleaning your filter yearly to prevent future problems.

    Each septic tank pump service includes a basic tank evaluation to check the water level, scum/sludge layers, and condition of the baffles, in addition to looking for cracks or leaks and ensuring that your tank covers are secure.

    Remember to avoid putting trash or grease down your toilets or drains, and always call us right away the moment you notice septic odor, or your system starts to back-up.

    VISUAL TANK INSPECTIONS & CAMERA INSPECTIONS

    A visual septic evaluation looks at the easy-to-see components of your system. We will check:

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

    2. TANK & SYSTEM COMPONENTS- 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, if exposed.

    3. GROUND LEVEL- look around the tank and surrounding area for anything unusual- odors, ponding, moisture, trees/bushes/shrubs, lush green grass, or illegal discharge of septage.

    4. REPORT & PHOTOS- includes a comprehensive report with photos of all that we see.

    Silloway Septic Service is also fully equipped to evaluate harder to see septic issues using a sewer camera. The camera allows a service technician to identify any problems in your system, including debris, tree roots, line breaks, cracks, punctures, grease buildup or obstructions. Camera evaluations often help identify problems that would otherwise be unknown.
