You’ve Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Still have questions about your septic system? Our team is happy to help—just give us a call for straightforward, honest advice without any pressure.

  • Most homes should have their septic tanks pumped every 3-5 years, though this varies based on household size, water usage, and system age. Heavy clay soil can sometimes reduce drain field efficiency, making regular maintenance even more important. Septic Squad can assess your specific system and create a maintenance schedule tailored to your home's needs, with convenient reminders when it's time for your next service.

  • Pay attention to slow drains throughout your home, gurgling toilets after flushing, sewage odors (especially after rainfall), standing water over your drain field, or unusually green patches in your yard. We often see issues develop during heavy rain seasons when water tables rise. At the first sign of these symptoms, call Septic Squad. Waiting often leads to more extensive and costly repairs.

  • Septic pumping typically ranges from $475-$775, depending on tank size, accessibility, and condition. At Septic Squad, we provide clear, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden charges. Our quote includes pumping, hauling, and disposal, with no surprise fees for hose length or weekend service. We'll give you an exact price before we begin any work, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Many homeowners don't realize that common household products can damage their septic systems. Harsh chemicals, bleach, and antibacterial cleaners kill the beneficial bacteria your system needs to function properly. Septic Squad technicians can recommend septic-safe alternatives during our service visits and provide guidance on proper system maintenance. We help residents protect their investment with practical advice on what products are safe to use.

  • Many Austin homeowners, especially those who've recently purchased their property, aren't sure where their septic tank is located. Septic Squad's locating service uses specialized equipment to find your tank without extensive digging or yard damage. We can also install risers that make future access easy and add your system to our digital records for quick reference during emergency calls.
