FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You may still have questions. Below are some common questions we usually get from our customers.

Yes! We understand that septic emergencies don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. We offers 24/7 emergency service for critical situations like:

– Sewage backups into the home
– Overflowing septic tanks
– Drain field flooding
– Major leaks or pipe breaks

For emergency assistance, call our main number, and you’ll be directed to our on-call technician. While emergency service does carry additional fees compared to scheduled appointments, we maintain transparent pricing even in urgent situations. We’ll provide an estimate before beginning any work.

We proudly serve New Jersey, including:

– Atlantic County
– Burlington County
– Camden County
– Cape May County
– Gloucester County
– Salem County

We provide service to both residential and commercial properties throughout these regions.

Video pipe inspection uses specialized waterproof cameras attached to flexible rods that can navigate through your pipes and septic system. The camera transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our technicians to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.

Key benefits include:
– Precise identification of problems (cracks, breaks, blockages, tree roots)
– Non-invasive diagnosis without unnecessary digging or demolition
– Visual evidence of the issue that we can share with you
– Accurate location mapping of underground pipes
– Documentation of pipe condition for records or real estate transactions
– Verification that repairs have been successfully completed

We recommend video inspection when purchasing a new property, experiencing recurring issues, or as part of routine maintenance for older systems. Our technicians explain everything they see on the monitor and provide recommendations based on the actual conditions rather than guesswork.

Contact us immediately if you notice any of these warning signs:

– Slow drains throughout your home
– Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system
– Sewage backups in toilets or drains
– Unusually lush, green grass over the drain field
– Standing water or soggy soil near the septic tank or drain field
– Foul odors around the septic tank area
– Sewage or wastewater surfacing in your yard
– High nitrate or bacteria levels in well water tests

Early intervention can often prevent minor issues from becoming major, expensive repairs.

Several factors help determine whether repair or replacement is more appropriate:

Consider replacement when:
– Your system is over 25-30 years old
– Repairs would cost more than 50% of a new system
– Your home has been expanded without upgrading the septic capacity
– You have recurring problems despite regular maintenance
– The drain field has failed or become saturated
– Your system doesn’t meet current code requirements

Our technicians provide honest assessments based on thorough video pipe inspections and system evaluations. We’ll never recommend replacement if repairs are a viable, cost-effective option. We provide detailed explanations of our findings so you can make an informed decision.

For most residential septic systems in New Jersey, we recommend pumping every 3-5 years. However, this interval can vary based on several factors:

– Household size (number of people using the system)
– Total wastewater generated
– Volume of solids in wastewater
– Septic tank size

As a general rule, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank should pump every 3-4 years. Regular maintenance prevents costly backups and extends the life of your entire system. We’re happy to help establish an appropriate maintenance schedule for your specific situation.
