Frequently asked questions
Your septic system is a critical part of your home's infrastructure. Understanding how it works and how to maintain it can save you money and headaches. Here are some of the most common questions we receive at Springcreekseptic.com. If your question isn't answered here, please contact us – we're always happy to help!
How often should my septic tank be pumped out?
Most homes need a pump-out every 3–5 years, but the exact timing depends on tank size, household size, and water usage. Call Spring Creek Septic at 985-614-0507 for an evaluation!
How do I know where my septic tank is located?
If you’re unsure, we can locate it for you using professional tools. Many older homes don’t have clear maps, so locating is a common service we provide. Contact Spring Creek Septic to schedule a locating service.
What should not be flushed into a septic system?
Items like wipes (even “flushable”), grease, feminine products, paper towels, and chemicals should never be flushed. These items can cause blockages and damage your system.
How much does a pump-out usually cost?
Pricing depends on tank size, accessibility, and condition. Contact us at 985-614-0507 for an exact quote — we keep our rates competitive.
What are the signs that my septic system needs service?
Common signs include slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage odors, wet spots in the yard, or sewage backing up into the home. If you notice any of these, call Spring Creek Septic immediately!
Can I use household cleaners with a septic system?
Yes, but avoid excessive bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can disrupt the natural bacteria in your tank. Opt for septic-safe products whenever possible.
How can I maintain my septic system and prevent problems?
Regular pump-outs, avoiding grease and wipes, conserving water, and keeping vehicles off the drain field can greatly extend your system’s life.
Do you offer emergency septic services?
Yes — if you have sewage backup, standing water, or serious system issues, we can respond quickly. Call our emergency line at 985-614-0507!
