Keeping a Davis septic system healthy

A septic tank in Davis only needs a few things from you. Pump it on a schedule, keep heavy vehicles off the drain field, and send only water and waste down the drains. Grease, wipes and harsh chemicals shorten the life of the tank and the field. A quick yearly look at the lids and the ground above the field catches small problems early.

When to call a septic company

Call when drains slow down throughout the house, pipes gurgle, sewage smells appear indoors or in the yard, or the ground over the tank or drain field turns soggy or unusually green. A backup in the lowest drain in the house needs attention the same day. If you are buying or selling a home in Davis, schedule an inspection early so there is time to act on what it finds.

Questions Davis homeowners should ask first

Before hiring in Davis, ask three things. Are you licensed and insured for septic work in Murray County? Will you inspect the baffles and filter when you pump? Can you show me what you found? Clear answers tell you more than a low quote does.

Septic permits and rules around Davis

Septic permits near Davis are handled at the county or state level rather than by the city. Repairs, replacements and new installations usually need a permit and an inspection. Your septic company can pull the permit for you. If you are buying or selling a home, ask whether a septic inspection is required at closing.
