Septic Tank Services Pinecrest, FL - Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sewage backup in the tub or shower. Bad odors coming from the bathrooms or plumbing fixtures. Gurgle noises when flushing a toilet. Slow draining toilets.

  • We recommend around every 2 years this depends on the type of system, amount of usage, and size of tank. The more often you clean the tank the longer the tank and drain field last.

  • Lack of maintenance or improper pumping will cause clogs in the plumbing pipe to the septic tank, tank deterioration caused by excessive sludge build up, and drain field failure.

  • Anything that doesn’t breakdown in water should not be flushed wet wipes, even the ones that say flushable will get caught in your pipe going to the tank or clog up the septic tank.

  • Pump and pressure wash the tank every two years to remove the sludge. Have a manhole installed so the tank can easily be maintained in the future. Have a filter installed prior to the drain field to help keep sludge out of the drain field.

  • Complete failures are Rare. Call for a second opinion and we can send someone to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate course of action.

  • The biggest problem we see is tanks are not pumped properly. Most tanks are pumped through small holes that have been bashed through the lids. To remove the sludge you need at least a 12” opening preferably a 24” opening into the tank.

    When sludge is not removed from the tank during a pumping the sludge builds up and continues to destroy the tank and drain field.

  • Cost varies depending on several factors: Time of last septic tank cleaning, depth of lid or lids (digging through coral rock is not easy), size of tank, and if any repairs are needed.

Septic Tank Cleaning in Pinecrest - Our Tried and True Process

At Alligator Septic, we have a proven process to tackle common septic issues in Pinecrest, FL. Our experienced team follows these steps to ensure that your septic system is functioning properly and efficiently:

  1. Locate the Tank: Our team begins by locating your septic tank using specialized equipment and techniques. This ensures that we can access the tank easily and minimize any disruption to your property.

  2. Dig Up the Tank and Find or Install a Proper Access Lid or Manhole: Once the tank is located, we carefully dig up the area around it to expose the access lid or manhole. If your tank doesn't have a proper access point, we can install a new manhole to facilitate easy access in the future.

  3. Inspect Sludge Layer and Liquid Level in the Tank to Check Drain Field Condition: Our experts will then inspect the sludge layer and liquid level in the tank to determine the condition of your drain field. This helps us identify any potential issues that may affect the performance of your septic system.

  4. Pump and Pressure Wash the Tank: We proceed to pump and pressure wash your septic tank to remove sludge and sediment that takes up valuable tank capacity and can lead to deterioration. This cleaning process ensures that your tank operates at its maximum efficiency.

  5. Discuss Any Issues and Make a Plan for Repairs if Necessary: After the cleaning process, we will talk to you about any issues that we have identified during the inspection. If necessary, we will work with you to develop a plan to repair any problems and restore your septic system to proper working order.

  6. Seal Lids Properly to Prevent Dirt from Entering the Tank: Finally, our team will carefully seal the access lids or manholes to ensure that no dirt or debris can enter the tank. Proper sealing is crucial to maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of your septic system.
