These are common questions about septic and aerobic systems around
Sapulpa and the Tulsa area. They cover new installs, pumping, lateral
lines and the written quote. If yours is not here, call or text and we
will answer it.
We install conventional systems, with a tank and lateral lines, and aerobic systems with spray heads. In Oklahoma, people call the drain field the lateral lines. An aerobic septic system can fit a small lot, or soil too poor for lateral lines. We put in systems for new homes, and we replace systems that have failed.
Does a new septic system need a permit in Oklahoma?
Yes. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) must issue an Authorization to Construct before a new system goes in. Before that, the DEQ reviews a report on the property that sets which kinds of system are allowed. Your local DEQ office answers questions about the steps.
Do you pump septic tanks?
Septic tank pumping is part of our work, for conventional tanks and the tanks on aerobic systems. While the tank is open, we check it and tell you what we see. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says household tanks are typically pumped every three to five years. Household size and tank size change that, along with how much water and solids go down the drains.
Do you service aerobic systems?
Yes. We set up recurring service visits for owners of aerobic systems, and we do routine checks on conventional systems too. The EPA says systems with pumps or mechanical parts, like an aerobic system, need an inspection generally once a year. In Oklahoma, the DEQ says maintenance is the homeowner's job.
How can I tell if my septic system is failing?
Inside the house, sewage backing up and very slow drains are common signs, per the EPA. Outside, look for damp spots or a sewage smell near the tank or the lateral lines. Bright green, spongy grass over the lines, even in dry weather, is another sign. Trouble that shows up over the lines may call for lateral line repair.
Do you inspect septic systems for home sales?
Yes. We inspect septic systems for buyers and sellers, and for owners who want to know where their system stands. We open the tank and check it, then check the lateral lines or the aerobic parts. You get a plain report of what we found.
How does pricing work?
We price each job after we look at it. On an install, the kind of system and how much lateral line or spray area it needs set the price. On a repair, the price depends on the cause we find on site. Call or text (918) 645-0557, and the quote comes to you in writing before work starts.
Do you take emergency calls on weekends?
Yes. We take emergency calls on weekends and after hours whenever the call reaches us. Emergency septic service covers urgent trouble, like a sewage backup in the house or an aerobic alarm. Call or text (918) 645-0557, then use as little water as you can and keep away from any sewage.
Do you install storm shelters?
Yes. We install storm shelters for homes around Sapulpa and the Tulsa area. The job is mostly earthwork: the hole, the set, the backfill and the finish grade, with the shelter placed clear of the septic tank and lateral lines. Call or text (918) 645-0557 about a shelter for your yard.
What area do you serve?
We are based in Sapulpa, in Creek County, and work about 40 miles around it. That covers Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Collinsville, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Glenpool, Coweta and Skiatook. Smaller towns like Kiefer, Mounds, Kellyville and Mannford are part of our service area too.
