The Homeowner’s Guide to Plumbing & Septic Care
How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
For most households, you should schedule a septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years. However, factors like your household size and the use of a garbage disposal can increase this frequency. Regular maintenance prevents solid waste from entering your drain field, which can lead to system failure and costly replacements.
What are the signs that my lift station pump is failing?
Common warning signs of a lift station pump issue include sewage backups, unusually slow drainage, or foul odors near the wet well. You should also listen for high-water alarms or grinding noises, which indicate the pump is struggling to move wastewater to the higher-elevation sewer main.
What should I do during a plumbing or septic emergency?
In a plumbing emergency, the first step is to turn off your main water shut-off valve to prevent flooding. For septic emergencies, stop all water usage immediately and call for professional service. R&M offers 24/7 emergency plumbing and septic services to handle burst pipes or sewage overflows.
Why do I need a sewer camera inspection before repairs?
A sewer camera inspection allows our technicians to see the exact cause and location of a blockage or pipe damage without digging up your yard. This diagnostic tool is essential for determining if you need a simple cleaning, a hydro jetting service, or a full pipe replacement.
Is hydro jetting better than traditional drain snaking?
Yes, hydro jetting is generally superior for long-term drain health. While a snake simply pokes a hole through a clog, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the entire pipe wall, removing grease, minerals, and even tree roots. This makes it much harder for new clogs to form.
