Are you aware that your septic tank needs to be pumped every three to five years? If your septic tank hasn't been cleaned out in a while, it could cause major problems and costly repairs. For the plumbing in your house to continue functioning as it should, your septic tank needs to be maintained.

Sometimes emergencies happen, and hunting down a septic pumping company near you with 24-hour service can be hard to find. However, Viking Septic has you covered with quick, incredible service for all of your septic system needs. 

Septic Emergencies 

There are plenty of things that can arise when dealing with a failing septic system. Many of these issues can turn into plumbing nightmares that need to be handled quickly. Some of the warning signs of an overfilled septic tank include the following:

• Standing water may be left behind by overflowing septic tanks close to the drain field. This typically results from pipelines that are overflowing with solid waste. Once waste clogs the pipes, contaminated water will build up, and the drain field won't work properly.
• Your septic tank is likely overflowing or blocked if the area around it smells like waste. The waste is buried and trapped inside the tank where bacteria are degrading it when a septic tank is working properly.
• If your plumbing system's many drains take a long time to empty, your septic system is probably overly full.
• Sludge may be backing up into your drains even if everything seems to be in working order.

All of these symptoms can be concerning and lead to septic emergencies if left untreated. Therefore it is best to get your septic tank dealt with as soon as possible. By pumping your septic tank, you can remove potentially harmful substances that could harm your drain field or, worse still, reduce the effectiveness of your system. 

By using this service, our knowledgeable personnel may also evaluate the system's performance and notify you in advance if any faults are found, preventing costly and unsanitary backups.

Our pumping service includes inspection and cleaning of the outlet filter (if applicable), removal, and offsite disposal of septage contents.
