Frequently Asked Questions

One way to determine if your property has a septic system is to check your property records – the property deed, building permit and design plans – as these documents will likely contain information about the presence (or lack) of a septic system.

In some cases, there may be visual signs you have a septic system. For example, a mound or small hill is created for the installation of the drainfield. Or you can follow the plumbing outlet leaving your home and look for an access riser (black or green disc) or probe for the top of the septic tank. It is usually about 10 feet away from the building.

Additionally, if you have a septic system, you will see a $0.00 charge for wastewater or sewer services on your utility bill (or you will not receive a utility bill). Your property’s location may also help you figure out if you have a septic system, as rural areas and “unincorporated” towns typically have a higher likelihood of septic systems. In many cases, people with septic systems also have a private drinking water well instead of public water. If the water line into your home does not have a meter attached to it, that usually indicates you have a private well and not public utility water.

If you are still having trouble determining whether you have a septic system, contact your local permitting authority (i.e., local health or environmental department) or contact Stamback’s septic system professionals who can help you find your septic tank and drainfield. We will walk your property and determine where the system and its components are located.

If sewage begins to back up into your sinks, showers, or toilets, it is a clear sign that your septic tank is full and needs immediate pumping. Bubbling or gurgling sounds in your pipes or plumbing fixtures may also indicate a clog or excessive waste in the septic tank.

Typically, a septic system is permitted and inspected by your local permitting authority (i.e., local health or environmental department).

You can usually contact these entities to obtain a copy of your property’s septic record drawing (the “as-built” design) and request copies of the permit(s), which may also have additional information on your system, such as the date of installation, soil properties, specs and other important information.

The short answer – septic tank pumping should be done at the right interval for your home or business.

The frequency of pumping the septic tank depends on the tank size, number of people in the household, habits of water use as well as the amount of solids accumulated in the tank. Some alternative systems that are more complex may require more frequent inspection or pumping.

While a septic system is a safe, natural, and environmentally-friendly way to manage drain waste, it is different from a sewer system and requires special care and maintenance.

General guidelines suggest that a septic system needs to be inspected every 1 – 3 years and pumped every 2 – 5 years, but you really need to pump your septic system as often as your specific septic system needs.

The biggest factor in how often a septic tank should be pumped is the sludge and scum levels inside the tank, which can be identified through our septic inspection services. If sludge levels reach 1 foot at the bottom of the tank, or the scum becomes almost 6 inches thick at the top of the tank, it’s probably time to have your septic tank pumped by Stamback Services.

A septic system permit is issued by your local permitting authority (i.e., local health or environmental department).

You can apply for the permit yourself, or the contractor hired to build the system can obtain it on your behalf. Stamback specializes in septic installation and septic certification and can even check with your local municipality in the event they also require additional permits to install your system.

If you have not pumped your septic tank in several years, but do not seem to be having any problems, it may mean one of several things:

There is minimal water use, and/or the size of the septic tank and the biological activity maintains the solids at sustainable levels. This is rare, but may occur when there isn’t much septic usage.
The septic tank has a leak and is discharging wastewater into the ground instead of into the drainfield.
The tank is full of solids, which are slowly migrating and may eventually clog the drainfield. This may increase the cost of pumping the tank and may require replacing the entire drainfield if it becomes too clogged.
