Septic Inspections
Septic system inspections are very important and are required by the New Mexico Environmental Department for any transfer of ownership of any property that has a septic system in the state of New Mexico.
We provide a complementary septic evaluation when we pump out a septic tank. This is not an official inspection. We provide this in hope to help our customers be aware of current and possible future repairs.
Septic Tank Locating
Locating septic tanks can be done manually or by an electronic locater. Identifying your septic tank helps you to maintain and possibly reduce your cost. One easy way to prevent reoccurring digging or the hassle of not knowing where your tank is, is to have lids and risers to the surface. This is something that we can install.

Septic Filter Cleaning
Do you have a new septic system? If so you most likely have a filter. As things are passing through your septic tank and through your leach line, you filter will become full and need to be cleaned. This should be done every 6 months to a year.

Septic Tank Frequently Ask Questions
Does my septic need pumped?
A few signs to be aware of letting you know that your tank is full or needs attention:
-Pooling water around your septic drain field
-Slow drains or toilets
-Bad/Foul smells
-Sewer backup
-Grass or plants dying in your yard
Does my septic system need inspected if I am buying a new home?
New Mexico Environmental Department requirements all homes sold must have an inspection completed prior to sale of home on Septic. We can also ensure your Septic Tank is permitted.
How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
For a family of 4 on a 1000 gallon tank we recommend every 3 years. If your tank is smaller or you have a larger family, it will need to be done more frequently.
Maintenance is the key to avoiding the unpleasant experiences of a septic problem. The average septic tank should be pumped every 3 years, more often if you have a garbage disposal.
Where is my septic tank located?
Septic tanks locations vary from house to house. If you don’t know where your septic tank is, we can electronically locate it.
What kind of access do you need to pump my tank?
The lid to your tank needs to be uncovered, which depending on where your tank is and how deep it is, may require some excavating. The lid to your tank will typically be round, made of plastic or concrete, and 24 inches in diameter. Some older tanks have smaller 12 inch concrete plug like lid. They do come in all shapes and sizes, so if in doubt snap a picture and give us a call. They will be larger then a 4 inch circle which will typically be the cleanout for your sewer line, not the access for your septic. Also we need to be able to get our truck no further then 100 feet from the opening of your tank.
