Our Complete Range of Services

Viking Septic Services offers a comprehensive suite of septic system services designed to keep your system running efficiently. Let's explore each of our core services in detail:

1. Hydro Jet Sewer Line Cleaning

Hydro jetting represents the cutting edge in sewer line cleaning technology. This powerful and efficient method uses pressurized water to thoroughly clean your sewer lines, offering several advantages over traditional cleaning methods.

How Hydro Jetting Works

Our sewer jet machines pressurize water to between 3,500 - 4,000 psi, creating the perfect pressure to blast through blockages without causing damage. The system includes a specially designed nozzle that guides the hose through your pipes. This advanced nozzle features:

• A single, forward-facing jet that creates holes through blockages
• Multiple rear-facing jets that wash debris back and propel the nozzle forward
• A vibrating hose that helps dislodge stubborn buildup

This powerful combination effectively removes:

• Gunk and grime
• Tree roots
• Grease buildup
• Various other blockages

We can hydro jet pipes ranging from 1.5" up to 18" in diameter, making this service suitable for both residential and commercial properties.

The Hydro Jetting Process

Our technicians typically begin at the lower end of a main sewer line, working methodically toward the building. This strategic approach ensures all blockages flow toward larger pipes and away from your property. The process may involve:

• Using forward-spraying nozzles to break up blockages
• Switching to stronger back-spray nozzles to remove broken-up debris
• Employing specialized nozzles for descaling pipe walls or navigating corners

Special Considerations

For septic tank systems, we begin the process at the septic tank opening. We may utilize video inspection to pinpoint specific issues and apply targeted techniques.

Cast iron pipes require particular attention. While hydro jetting can effectively descale these pipes' interior walls, older or cracked pipes may be vulnerable to damage. Our team will assess your pipes' condition to determine if hydro jetting is appropriate for your system.

2. Septic Tank Pumping

Septic tank pumping stands as one of the most essential preventive maintenance services for your system. Our comprehensive pumping service includes:

• Complete tank evacuation
• Inspection and cleaning of the outlet filter (when present)
• Removal and proper offsite disposal of septic tank contents

Additional fees may apply for:

• Excavation of septic tank lids
• Locating fee for unknown tank location

Regular pumping helps:

• Remove harmful solids from your system
• Maintain system efficiency
• Protect your drain field
• Prevent costly and unsanitary backups

3. Septic System Inspections

Our certified inspections provide crucial information about your septic system's health. Each inspection includes:

• Complete pumping and offsite disposal of tank contents

4. Septic System Repairs

5. Septic System Installation

6. Septic System Maintenance and Filter Cleaning

Regular maintenance, including filter cleaning, is crucial for system longevity. Our maintenance service focuses on keeping your system running smoothly. For systems with outlet filters, manufacturers typically recommend cleaning every six months. These filters play a vital role in:

• Protecting your onsite system
• Preventing clogs within the outlet pipe
• Ensuring only liquid enters the drain field

7. Septic System Locating

Properties often undergo strategic grading and landscaping after septic system installation, making system components challenging to locate. Our professional locating service helps identify the location of:

• Septic tanks
• System components
• Sewer lines
• Access points

8. Sewer Scope Camera Inspection

Our high-tech camera inspection service provides detailed insights into your septic system and drain lines. During an inspection, we:

• Feed a specialized camera through your system
• Record depth and location of obstructions using radio transmitters
• Identify specific issues for targeted solutions

This technology can detect:

• Clogs
• Bellied pipes
• Crushed sections
• Disconnected components
• Cracks and damage

Benefits of Camera Inspection

Sewer scope inspections offer several advantages:

Non-Invasive Investigation Camera inspections eliminate the need for destructive trench digging, saving your landscaping while providing accurate diagnostics.

Root Intrusion Detection Trees and shrubs naturally seek moisture from sewer lines. Camera inspections can identify root intrusion before it causes severe damage.

Comprehensive Pipe Assessment Regular camera inspections help monitor pipe condition, allowing early detection of:

• Soap scum buildup
• Hair accumulation
• Congealed grease
• Trash deposits
• Pipe scaling
