Septic & Sewer FAQsQuestions about your Septic or Sewer system?
-
Common warning signs include slow or backed-up drains, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, standing water near the septic tank or drainfield, and unusually wet or green areas over the drainfield. Recurring problems may indicate that the system needs more than routine pumping. HEI can inspect the system, identify potential problems and determine whether pumping, cleaning or repair may be needed.
-
Septic pumping removes wastewater, sludge and accumulated solids from the tank as part of routine system maintenance. Septic cleaning generally involves removing material more thoroughly from the tank, including heavier solids or buildup that may remain after basic pumping. The condition of the tank and reason for service will help determine what your septic system needs.
-
Yes. HEI provides locating services to help identify septic components, sewer lines and other underground wastewater infrastructure.

Recurring backups can be caused by accumulated debris, grease, roots, damaged or deteriorating pipes, restricted sewer lines or problems within a septic system. Simply clearing a blockage may not solve the problem if there is an underlying issue.

-
Pumping removes accumulated waste from the septic tank, but it cannot correct damaged components or other problems within the system. If backups, drainage problems, sewage odors or wet areas continue after routine maintenance, further inspection may be needed. HEI can evaluate the system to help determine whether the issue can be addressed through maintenance or requires septic system repair.

A new septic installation generally involves evaluating the property and system requirements, excavation, tank placement and installation of the components needed to safely manage wastewater.
