Septic Service, Pumping, and Inspection in Montrose

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Pumping

A septic tank fills slowly, so the warning signs show up well before the system fails. Call us if you notice any of these:

• Sinks, tubs, and toilets draining slower than they used to
• A sewage smell near the tank or over the leach field
• Standing water or unusually green grass above the drain field
• Gurgling from the drains when the washing machine runs
• Toilets backing up, especially after heavy rain or spring runoff

Most tanks need pumping every three to five years. The exact timing depends on the size of the tank, how many people live in the house, and how much water you use. Homes with a garbage disposal fill up faster.

Waiting costs more than pumping. When a tank goes too long without service, solids push out into the leach field and clog the soil. Once that happens, pumping the tank no longer fixes the problem. Replacing a drain field costs thousands of dollars. Regular septic tank pumping is the cheapest maintenance for a septic system.

Irrigation and Culvert Jetting

We use high-pressure water to clear irrigation lines, culverts, and ditch pipe. Few companies on the Western Slope carry this equipment. On agricultural property, one blocked line can hold up an entire irrigation cycle. Jetting scours the full width of the pipe instead of punching a hole through the blockage.

Drain Cleaning

We clear slow and blocked sinks, tubs, showers, and floor drains. We find what is causing the clog before we clear it, so the same drain is not backing up again a month later. For a drain that keeps clogging, we can run a camera down the line and show you what is in there.
