Shilling Septic, Inc. FAQ

Have a septic-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Does my septic system need maintenance?

    Yes, it does. A septic tank accumulates solids (sludge) and scum. According to Bob Vila, you should get septic tank pumping at least every three to five years. The frequency of pumping depends upon your tank size and household size. Call us today to schedule your pumping service!

  • What are the parts of a septic tank system?

    A typical septic system has four main components:


    • A pipe from the home
    • A septic tank
    • A drainfield
    • The soil

    Contact us today to learn more about how septic tanks and septic tank pumping work.

  • How long do septic tanks last?

    The more proactive you are in maintaining your system with regular septic tank pumping, the longer it will last. In fact, septic tanks can last as long as 30 years or more. Get in touch with us today for the maintenance you need!

  • If there's an issue, should I open my septic tank?

    No, please call us and we will conduct an assessment to find the issue and perform the needed repair. Whether you need septic repairs or septic tank pumping, you should always rely on professionals to do the job.

  • Can I plant trees or park over the leach field?

    You should avoid parking over the leach field and planting trees there. As experts on septic tanks and septic tank pumping, we can devise a plan to help you plant trees safely without compromising your septic system.

  • What if my grass turns greener in straight lines?

    The first step you need to take when dealing with such a problem is to call a septic service company. If the grass is greener on one side of your lawn, it’s a sign that you are due for an inspection and perhaps septic tank pumping. Give us a call and we'll help you figure out what is going on with your system!

  • What items should not be flushed?

    This is something that you and your household guests need to know to avoid future septic-related problems. Our team of septic service providers can provide you with a list of items that should never go down your toilet. Call us today for that list or to schedule septic tank pumping.
