I've never pumped my septic system. Is that a problem?

If you’ve never had your septic tank serviced, you may experience a few different issues.

If you notice that the tank has a leak, it may be discharging wastewater into the ground rather than the drain field. The tank may be full of solids that could potentially clog the drain field. If this occurs, the cost of pumping and drain field replacement can be quite costly. Instead, avoid problems altogether and call us for our septic services.

What are common signs of failing septic systems?

If you notice low water levels, clogged drains, or any leaks, your septic system may be failing. Don’t wait to get to the point of a failed system. For our reliable portable restrooms and septic services, contact Sonlight Services LLC today!

My drains are draining slowly. Why?

There could be a blockage inside the house or between the house and the tank, or the tank is full and not draining properly, which could be a drain field issue.

Is there an extra cost for additional hoses?

No, our team of professionals doesn’t require any extra fees for additional hoses. Septic services can be tricky to figure out on your own. Save yourself the hassle and give us a call ASAP!

Do your service fees include locating and digging up septic tank lids?

Do your service fees include septic filter cleaning?
