John Holm & Son Septic Services FAQs

  • How often do I need to pump my septic tank?

    Septic tanks should be pumped at least every 2 to 3 years. The frequency of pumping depends on the size of the tank and the size of the household, but you should never go more than 3 years without pumping your septic tank.

  • Do I need to clean my septic tank filter?

    If your septic tank is equipped with an effluent filter, the filter should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months. We clean the filter when we pump the septic tank, but this is also a separate service that we offer.

  • Should I add any type of septic tank treatment to my system between pumping?

    We do not recommend adding any treatment products to your septic system. Your system takes advantage of natural biological processes that keep it working efficiently. There is no need to add anything to your septic system.

  • How do I know if I have a problem with my system?

    Having your septic tank pumped regularly prevents many issues. However, if you notice plumbing that is draining slowly, not draining at all, or hear gurgling as it drains, you may have a problem with your septic system. Call us for additional guidance.

  • I have an unpleasant odor in my house... is it my septic system?

    It is often assumed that unwanted smells in the house are from the septic system. If you notice an odor, check that drain traps are not dry at infrequently used points in the house, such as a slop sink. Also, if you have treatment systems for your drinking water, make sure they are functioning properly.
