Look at septic pumping like an insurance policy on your septic system. There is a buildup of sludge over time inside the tank which can reduce the capacity of the tank and allow unwanted scum to enter the leech field. This will decrease the life of your leach field and can lead to very costly repairs. If you get your tank pumped regularly, it can have a longer lifespan. According to Forbes, a septic tank can last from 20 to 40 years. Contact us today to get started with our septic services!

According to our experts, the recommended time frame for septic pumping is three to five years. Heavy usage locations may require one to two-year pumping schedules, while seasonal or light-use locations can go longer between maintenance pumping.

Your septic tank has two baffles: an inlet and an outlet. The inlet baffle is connected to the pipe entering the tank from your home. This points the entering liquid downward to not disturb the scum layer at the top of the tank. The outlet baffle, the most important, is attached to the pipe leaving the tank going to the leach field. It keeps solids from leaving the tank and entering the field. This can cause clogs and destruction of the leach bed. When you need reliable septic pumping, you can count on Stoney Road Septic.

An outlet baffle filter is an added layer of protection in keeping unwanted sludge from entering your leach field. It is located on the outlet baffle of your septic tank. According to our experts, these filters should be cleaned at least twice a year to prevent them from clogging and causing sewage to back up in the house. Our septic pumping experts can answer any further questions you may have on outlet baffle filters and other parts of your septic tank.

We have a couple of different ways to help locate your tank. We can flush a transmitter and locate it with a handheld locator, or we can use a probe to poke down into the ground. It can also be as simple as a change in the landscape, greener grass, or an indent in a yard. Our septic pumping team has years of experience and can assist you in locating your tank.

Our experts can assist you with your portable restroom and septic pumping needs.

If you are renting for an event, your fee covers delivery and set up, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and restroom removal.

We can pump out recreational vehicles under specific conditions. All pumping must occur when a porta-potty truck is in the area cleaning a porta-potty route. The black and grey water valves must be easily accessible; we need to be able to get the truck within 20 feet of the valves. The valves must be in working order so we can properly attach the hose to them. All of this can be confirmed with the office before scheduling a service.
