Why Shelby homes need septic service

Homes in Shelby 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. 69% 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. The company listed here also offers septic repair.

Septic service questions Shelby homeowners ask

Pinned

How do I choose a septic service company in Shelby?

  • 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.
