Signs That Your Septic System Needs Pumping

If your home or business utilizes a septic system for wastewater disposal, it’s in your best interest to remain vigilant for signs that the tank needs cleaning or maintenance work. A-1 Total Service Plumbing is the septic cleaning company you can trust in the greater Los Angeles metro area, and we offer the following facts on some common septic system issues that should never be ignored.

Gurgling, Slow-flowing Drains

Noisy, poorly draining pipes could be a symptom of a clogged drain or an early indicator of a septic tank that’s about to overflow. A complete system inspection will allow our experienced crew to determine whether drain cleaning is in order or if your tank requires septic services in San Bernardino, CA such as pumping and cleaning.

Persistently Damp Grass and Pavement

If the lawn, driveway, or other exterior ground surfaces in the vicinity of your septic tank or disposal field are constantly wet, even in the absence of recent precipitation, a backed-up septic system could be to blame. Our certified plumbers can quickly determine whether this is the case or if the excess moisture can be attributed to other causes.

Routine Cleaning is Critical

Even in the absence of apparent septic system issues, it’s a good idea to have your tank professionally cleaned and inspected on a regular basis. Most septic services recommend pumping every three to five years as a way to head off serious back-ups before they have a chance to occur.

A-1 Total Service Plumbing is always ready to provide reliable and efficient septic pumping services. We will assess your situation and recommend a plan of action best suited to your needs. Contact us at the first sign of septic troubles at your local home or business.
