“I had no idea where my septic tank was located when I bought this house. These folks found it, pumped it, and educated me without making me feel like an idiot.”

Common Septic Concerns Every Homeowner Asks About

From pumping schedules to weird noises, here’s what New York homeowners ask us most.

"Can't I just wait until there's an actual problem?"
By the time you notice problems, you’re already in trouble. When your toilet starts backing up or your yard smells like… well, you know… your drain field may already be compromised.

Fix a clogged drain field? That’ll be $10,000-$20,000 and a yard that looks like a war zone. Or you could just pump every few years for a fraction of the cost. The Skunk ain’t great at math, but even I can figure that one out.

"How do I know when it's actually time to pump?"
The honest answer? Most people don’t know until it’s too late. A family of four with a typical 1,000-gallon tank usually needs pumping every 3 years. Using garbage disposals, hosting frequent guests, or having a hot tub dumps more water in and speeds that up. Rather than playing septic roulette, set up a regular pumping schedule. Your home, yard, and nose will thank you.
"My neighbor hasn't pumped in 10 years and has no problems!"
Your neighbor either has a magical self-cleaning tank (they don’t exist), is extremely lucky (luck runs out), or has problems they don’t know about yet (they’re coming). Some systems can limp along for years while damage quietly builds underground. The Skunk has seen too many “but it was working fine yesterday!” emergencies to count.
"Will pumping fix my slow drains and toilet gurgles?"
If you’re lucky and caught it early, yes. If those problems have been happening for months? You might need more than pumping. When your system backs up, it’s like a four-alarm fire telling you something’s already wrong. We’ll pump first, but be prepared in case we find issues that need fixing to prevent a repeat performance.
"How long will you be tearing up my yard?"
Whoa there – no yard demolition required! For most pumping jobs, we’re in and out in 1-2 hours. We locate your tank (even if you have no idea where it is), access it carefully, pump it thoroughly, and clean up after ourselves. No excavators, no destroyed gardens, no explaining to your HOA why your lawn looks like a meteor hit it.
