Our Process
At Chattanooga Septic, we take pride in offering professional and efficient septic pumping services. Our process begins with locating your septic tank and determining accessibility. If the tank lid is buried and needs uncovering, we offer excavation services to remove the dirt surrounding the tank, ensuring safe access for pumping. This step may require the use of an excavator, depending on the depth and amount of soil covering the tank. Please note that additional charges apply for excavation work, as it involves extra time and equipment. Once the tank is uncovered, our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to thoroughly pump and clean the septic system, leaving it functioning optimally. For a hassle-free experience, we recommend ensuring the tank is exposed before our arrival or discussing excavation needs during scheduling.
Field Line Repair
Sometimes, homeowners may believe their septic tank needs pumping when the actual issue lies with their field lines. Field lines, or drain lines, are responsible for dispersing liquid waste into the surrounding soil after it exits the septic tank. When these lines become clogged, damaged, or saturated, the system can back up, mimicking the symptoms of a full tank. Pumping the tank in this situation may provide temporary relief but won’t resolve the root cause. Common signs of field line problems include slow drains, wet or soggy areas in the yard near the septic system, or persistent odors. If these issues arise, it’s essential to have a professional inspect the entire system to determine whether the field lines need repair or replacement.
