Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my septic tank needs pumping?

Signs include slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds in pipes, foul odors near your tank or drain field, wet patches in your yard, or sewage backing up into toilets. Most tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years based on household size.

What permit or inspection do I need for a new septic system in Greenwood?

Mississippi State Department of Health requires a permit before installation. We handle the application, soil evaluation, installation, and final inspection. Permit costs typically range from $150 to $300 depending on system type and county requirements.

How far must my septic tank be from my well?

Mississippi State Department of Health requires new tanks at least 50 feet from a well. Drain fields must be at least 100 feet away. These setbacks protect groundwater quality and comply with state law.

Can I use a garbage disposal with my septic system?

Garbage disposals are not recommended for septic systems. They send extra solids into your tank, filling it up to 50% faster. Throw away food waste in your household garbage to protect your system.

What should I avoid flushing down my drain?

Never flush wipes, feminine products, paper towels, diapers, or non-biodegradable items. Avoid excess water use in one sitting, like running multiple laundry loads or long showers. These practices prevent clogs and extend your system's life.

What does a septic inspection include?

We check tank condition, baffle integrity, water level, drain field function, and overall system health. A video inspection of pipes identifies cracks or blockages. We provide a written report with photos and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
