All Clear Pumping & Sewer

  • How can I find my septic tank?

    Our technicians can locate your septic tank using a specialized sewer camera. We insert the camera into the main line, which allows us to determine the precise location of your tank.

  • Why do I have standing water in my yard, where my leechfield is?

    Standing water in your leechfield area typically indicates a failing septic system. This could be due to an improperly installed aerator or various other factors. A professional inspection is recommended to determine the exact cause.

  • How often should I get my septic pumped?

    The frequency of septic pumping depends on the number of occupants in your home. Generally, we recommend pumping every 3 to 5 years, but this can vary based on your specific situation.

  • How big of a septic system should I have installed when building a home?

    The size of your septic system is determined by the number of bedrooms in your home, not bathrooms. This is because bedrooms indicate the potential occupancy of the dwelling, which directly affects the system's required capacity.

  • How do I find my septic tank?

    Septic tanks are typically located 10 to 25 feet from your home, often in line with the sewer pipe exiting your basement or crawl space. Look for inspection ports or a slight elevation in your yard. If you're unable to locate it, our technicians can use specialized equipment to find it quickly.
