Stoughton Septic Pumping Service

Stoughton Septic Pumping Service Our company provides important maintenance for on-lot septic systems. A septic tank acts as a separator for liquids and solid matter.

Owner operated company since 1989 providing septic tank pumping services to residential customers in and around Butler and Armstrong Counties, plus small closer portions of Clarion, Venango and Lawrence counties inPA. It is recommended that a septic tank be pumped every 3-5 years, depending on the number of people living in your home, to maintain a properly working leach field. The solid, more thi

ck matter separates from the liquid and settles to the bottom of the tank while allowing only the liquid to discharge out to the leach field area. If the solid ratio becomes too thick it will start to discharge out and eventually start to sludge up the field and not allow the water any where to go. Therefore, it is important to pump tank to remove the solid matter so that you maintain a ratio that is more liquid than solid. The water level in your tank should be approximately 10 inches from the top. The outlet is only approximately 4 inches lower than the inlet. It is also very important to be careful what you put down your drains. Never flush anything but toilet paper, it is the only fiber that will break up within the tank. Personal wipes, paper towels, feminine products, baby wipes, cigarette butts, and "flushable" toilet cleaning products do not break down within the tank. Try to also limit letting grease down drains. Yes, those products all "flush" but they remain floating in the septic tank and do not disintegrate. Proper maintenance is key to maintaining a system and not having a backup into your house as well. Services can be scheduled, questions answered and prices quoted by calling 724-445-3377. We require that the man hole(s) be exposed for us to lift the lid. The 4 inch pipes that some tanks have are only for inspection purposes, they do not allow the hose to be moved around within the tank to remove all the solid matter, which is the purpose of having your tank pumped. Dual compartment tanks usually installed from 1998 on will have two "man hole" lids and both of those lids must be exposed in order to pump out both compartments. Tanks prior to 1998 usually have only one lid, but you may have two tanks. Sorry, we do not offer drain cleaning or repair services. However we are available to pump tanks evenings, weekends and holidays.

Who wants to save a little money on important septic maintenance? We can offer a discount for “friendly neighbors” by pumping multiple tanks at the same time. Simply get those tanks uncovered and ready to go, then give us a call to schedule them in. It not only saves you some money, but it saves us time and fuel because we’re not pumping one tank in your neighborhood then pumping another in the same neighborhood a day or two later.

We received a call asking if garbage disposals should be used with on-lot septic systems. They were remodeling their kitchen and were wanting to install a garbage disposal. Answering the question was easy, no, they are not recommended. Tap on the link provided and scroll down to “regular maintenance” and it explains why. Composting is a much better option for food scraps.

Education and guidance for homeowners with on-lot wastewater disposal systems about how to keep their systems healthy.
