FAQ
Straight answers
about septic.
Where is my septic tank?
Typically it’s buried between the house and the leaching field. The best way to find it is the original drawing from your local health department. If there isn’t one, have a licensed professional locate it.
How often should my septic tank be cleaned?
Septic tank cleaning, or pumping, should be performed by licensed technicians on a 2-4 year basis. However cleaning/pumping schedules can be determined by usage, age of the system, and may vary between different individual homes and businesses.
How long are soil test results good for?
Typically up to 10 years. The local health department has full discretion on when soil re-testing is required on any particular job.
The grass is very green over my septic system. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily. Many factors can contribute to green grass over the septic, some of which are normal. If you have any concerns, it’s best to have a licensed installer evaluate your system.
