Had time to squeeze in an emergency septic inlet replacement Tuesday before the rain today. Home owner was relieved he was back to normal. Line was crumbling about 5 to 10 feet from tank and just backed up everything solid.

If water in your yard makes your deck look like a boat dock, odds are the the water is going to cause problems with your septic system. A couple of tips to help avoid any problems.

1. If at all possible, restrict the use of the washing machine until water has receded.

2. If at possible, restrict the use of the dish washer until water has receded.

3. Shower and bathroom use should be limited.

Remember if it is not draining, do not add more water. This can cause it to come back up in the drains in the house, usually at the lowest drain.

If you have a situation such as having guests in your home that requires a larger use of water, call us and we can help with pumping the tank. We can pump water out of your basement or crawl space as well.

Once mother nature calms down and if your still having draining problems give us a call and we can see if you are due for service.
