Standard septic advice doesn’t apply to the Blue Ridge. We specialize in the unique requirements of our region:
Septic Inspections Questions
Should I get a Septic Inspection prior to buying a home/property?
Because of our heavy clay soils, we recommend pumping every 3 to 5 years. If you use a garbage disposal or have a large family, 3 years is the safer bet to prevent drain field “sludging.”
What does a Septic Inspection include?
Should I have the tank pumped during the inspection?
Do you do repairs on septic systems?
Most Common Septic FAQ
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Because of our heavy clay soils, we recommend pumping every 3 to 5 years. If you use a garbage disposal or have a large family, 3 years is the safer bet to prevent drain field “sludging.”
What are the signs my septic system is failing?
Look for “spongy” or unusually green grass over your drain field, gurgling sounds in your pipes, or slow drains. In WNC, heavy rains often trigger these symptoms first.
Do I need a permit for a septic repair?
Minor repairs like replacing a broken pipe usually don’t, but any work involving the tank or drain field typically requires an Authorization to Construct from the county. We can help you determine exactly what is needed.
Why is my septic alarm beeping?
This usually indicates a high water level in your pump tank. Stop using water immediately and call us. It could be a simple float switch issue or a pump failure.
