Comprehensive Septic Tank Maintenance and Cleaning
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends a septic system inspection about every three years and septic tank pumping once every three to five years. How often you schedule septic tank pumping depends on the size of your home, how much wastewater it produces, and other factors.
We highly recommend hiring a professional plumber for septic tank maintenance in Dayton. Cleaning the tank yourself can be dangerous and expose you to harmful materials. It also requires specialized equipment that our technicians are trained to handle. If your septic tank is full, our plumbers can pump it out and check for any issues to fix. They can also clean out any blockages or buildup that are causing the system to work less effectively.
Expert Septic Tank Repair and Replacement Solutions
The tank, pipes, and drain field are located underground. You may think the system is well-protected. However, issues can develop. Some septic systems use gravity to move liquids from the tank to a soil-based discharge system. Others use pumps to assist in moving waste materials. The drainfield is where bacteria, viruses, and potentially toxic materials exit perforated pipes into the soil, where they disperse naturally and safely.
Any disruptions to this process, such as from a faulty valve, leaky drain pipe, or ruptured tank, can compromise the entire system and put your household at risk. Our professionals can help any time you need septic tank repair and can quickly resolve any issues. They can also determine whether to replace the tank and other components. Either way, you’ll get a free, no-obligation estimate.
Signs Your Septic System Needs Immediate Attention
Various signs can indicate your septic tank has exceeded its capacity. A tank that’s too full can cause the following problems:
- Pools of water in your yard
- Lusher, greener grass over the drain field
- Drains throughout your home slow up
- Sewage backs up from sinks and bathtubs
- Gurgling noises from your toilet or pipes
- Strong odors from the septic tank
Damage to the septic tank can cause issues that mimic signs of a full tank. Therefore, you should never ignore any plumbing issues. Contact Apex Pros to inspect your septic system. If the tank was recently pumped and issues such as sewage backups continue, call for help right away so we can determine what to do next.
Why Regular Septic Inspections Are So Important
You might not need an inspection every year. But that depends on the size and condition of your septic system. Evaluating it enables our technicians to decide whether to pump or wash out the tank. They can also inspect the system for other issues to fix before they cause more damage. If there’s a recurring problem, the solution may be as simple as removing excessive solids or replacing the septic tank lid.
During a routine inspection, our contractors look at the following:
- The septic system’s age
- Tank sludge levels
- Thickness of material
- Low water levels in the tank (can indicate leakage)
- Staining in the tank near the outlet (a sign of a backup)
- Condition of the tank/inlet and outlet pipes

When sewer line repairs are needed, trust “The Pros Who Knows”. The team at Apex Pros can determine if a clog, shifting soil, corrosion, tree roots, or a broken seal between pipes has caused damage. We provide excavation services if the damage is extensive. Whenever possible, we aim to use trenchless repair methods that save time and effort, minimize disruption, and preserve your landscaping.
Septic Tank Repair
Our contractors use the latest tools and equipment to provide septic system repair in Dayton. It may require patching up any cracks, replacing damaged pipes, or installing a new baffle inside the tank (this barrier separates solid from liquid waste). Some systems use a dip pipe that serves a similar purpose, which must be replaced if it’s damaged.
Trenchless Pipe Repair
Trenchless repairs avoid digging and excavation by using specific access points. Instead of removing your landscaping, a resin can be used to form a pipe within a pipe or a new line pulled through to burst the old line and create a new one. Our plumbers are extensively trained in these methods, so they can get your plumbing system working smoothly again quickly.
