Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my septic tank be pumped?

Regular pumping prevents solids from building up and protects your system from costly failures.
What are the signs my septic system needs servicing?
Common signs include:
• Slow drains or backups.
• Foul odors near the tank or drain field.
• Pooled water or unusually lush grass over the drain field.
• Gurgling sounds from your plumbing.
If you notice any of these, contact Roto-Rooter immediately for an inspection.
Can you locate a hidden septic tank or drain lines?
Yes! We use advanced line location devices to accurately find septic tanks and drain lines.
This technology eliminates guesswork, saving you time and preventing unnecessary digging.

What shouldn’t I flush or pour down the drain to protect my septic system?
To keep your system healthy, avoid flushing or draining:
• Grease, oil, or fat.
• Non-flushable wipes, diapers, or feminine products.
• Chemicals like paint, solvents, or antifreeze.
• Cat litter or coffee grounds.
Stick to flushing only human waste and toilet paper to prevent clogs and buildup.
How can I improve my septic system’s efficiency?
Simple steps like using water-efficient appliances, spreading out laundry loads, and minimizing garbage disposal use can reduce strain on your system.
Regular bacterial treatments also help by breaking down waste naturally.
Do you offer septic system inspections?
Yes, we provide thorough inspections to identify potential issues before they become costly problems.
Our technicians check for leaks, measure sludge and scum levels, and assess the overall health of your system.
What happens during a septic tank cleaning?
During a cleaning, we open both lids of your septic tank (unlike other companies that only open one).
We remove all liquids and solids, ensuring your system operates at its best. Our thorough cleaning process helps prevent future issues and extends your system’s life.
