Signs Your Septic Tank Needs to be Cleaned and Pumped
If the septic tank is not regularly emptied and cleaned, it can become too full, resulting in a variety of issues.
Some common signs that a septic tank needs to be cleaned include:
- Foul odors coming from the drains in the home,
- Slow-draining toilets or sinks, and
- Gurgling noises from the plumbing
- Wet patches on the ground near where the septic tank is located,
- Pools of water near the outlet pipe, or
- Sewage backing up into the house.
If any of these signs appear, it is best to get in touch with a reputable septic tank cleaning business straight soon to have the tank inspected and cleaned out.
The first stage of a thorough septic tank cleaning is pumping out all of the waste and debris from the tank. The next step is an inspection to search for any damage or upkeep issues. This way, you can ensure that everything is operating as it should and reduce any possible health hazards that could arise from a poorly managed septic system.

Our FAQs
-
To prevent clogs, avoid putting the following down your kitchen sink:
- Grease, oil, or fat (FOG).
- Coffee grounds.
- Eggshells or food scraps.
- Fibrous vegetables (like celery or corn husks).
- Pasta, rice, or other starchy foods.
-
- Regularly clean drains using a natural drain cleaner like baking soda and vinegar.

-
A cleanout is a pipe fitting that provides easy access for drain cleaning. If your plumbing system doesn't already have one, Zoom Drain can install a cleanout, which can save you time and money when clearing future blockages.
-
Sewer lining is a trenchless method of repairing damaged pipes by inserting a liner into the existing pipe. The liner hardens into a new pipe, sealing any cracks or leaks. It’s less invasive and often more cost-effective than traditional sewer replacement.
-
Signs that your sewer line may need repair or replacement include:
- Persistent slow drains or backups.
- Unpleasant odors coming from your drains.
- Wet spots or patches of lush greenery in your yard (indicating leaks).
- Gurgling sounds in your toilet or sinks. Zoom Drain provides comprehensive sewer repair, lining, and replacement services.
-
A malfunctioning sewage pump may show signs like:
- Sewage backup or slow draining.
- Foul odors or gurgling noises.
- Inconsistent or no pump operation. Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent costly failures.
-
Signs of sump pump issues include:
- Water pooling around the sump pump area.
- Strange noises when the pump operates.
- Pump not turning on or off properly.
- Water not being pumped out effectively. Zoom Drain can inspect and provide repair or replacement services.
-
Jetting from the roof vent involves sending high-pressure water through your drain lines starting from the roof vent, which clears out blockages from the top of the pipes. This technique can reach clogs that are deep within the system, particularly for stubborn, hard-to-reach blockages.
-
Hydrojetting is a technique where high-pressure water is used to clean drains. It’s especially effective for removing grease, debris, and tree roots. This method is ideal for tougher clogs that can't be easily cleared with standard tools.
-
Zoom Drain uses advanced tools like:
- Hydrojetting machines for powerful, high-pressure water cleaning.
- Sewer cameras to inspect and locate blockages deep within your pipes.
- Locators to precisely find and identify issues underground or behind walls.
- Traditional augers for mechanical drain clearing when necessary.

“Tristan was prompt, courteous, I'd give him a 5! He was patient and figured out my ancient plumbing. THANKS!”- Carol

“My sewer pipe backed up on a Sunday, my usual plumbing company doesn't work on weekends so I called Zoom Drain, I had used them before for sewer issues. Rob M. was able to come within 2 hours. Rob was wonderful, he was very thorough determining the cause of the problem which turned out to be tree roots which he cut and removed. Because my home is 65 years old my pipes and fittings were a challenge but not for Rob he worked really hard to make sure all my lines were clear and would not leave until he was sure the issue was resolved. Rob was friendly, professional and very knowledgable at what he does. I highly recommend Zoom Drain and thank Rob very much for all his help and hard work, Rob you made an unpleasant and stressful situation much less scary.”- Shawn
