Why Chapel Hill homes need septic service
Homes in Chapel Hill that aren't on public sewer use a septic tank and drain field, and the tank needs pumping and a check-up every few years. Heavy rain can saturate the drain field, and a house full of guests adds water; either one can back up a system that's near its limit. 38% of homes here were built before 1980, and on an older septic system, age and condition decide whether a repair will do or the system needs replacing. About 27% of residents moved into their home in the past year, and buying a home is a common time to have the septic system inspected. The company listed here also offers new septic system installation.

Septic service questions Chapel Hill homeowners ask
How do I choose a septic service company in Chapel Hill?
- A written price before the truck comes out, based on your tank size, with any digging, mileage or disposal fees listed.
- Every compartment pumped, with the gallons pumped and where the waste went written on your receipt.
- Before you agree to a new drain field or tank, see the evidence and get a second opinion from a company not selling the fix.
- For a home sale, hire an inspector who doesn't also sell septic repairs.
- Be wary of a company that sells bacteria or enzyme additives as a stand-in for pumping.
- Walk away from bait pumping prices far below other quotes; the bill tends to grow once the tank is open.
- Ask for the company's North Carolina septic license or certification number, and check it with NC's On-Site Wastewater Contractors and Inspectors Certification Board yourself instead of trusting the number on the truck.
