FAQs for El Campo, TX Owners
How often should I pump?
Interval planning depends on tank size, guest count, and water habits; we set a schedule after inspecting your system.
Do additives replace pumping?
Bio-boosts help flow, but only mechanical pumping removes sludge and scum.
Can I landscape over the field?
Choose shallow-rooted plants and avoid trees or heavy beds; compaction and roots are the enemy of percolation.
What if I smell odors?
Odors signal vent, filter, or overload issues; call us for diagnostics before odors become overflows.
Why camera inspections?
Cameras reveal cracks, roots, and misalignments invisible from the surface, saving you from guess-and-spend repairs.
Is bleach safe?
Small amounts are fine; heavy, repeated bleach shocks harm microbes and slow treatment. We guide dosage and safer options.
