Why Sumter homes need septic service

Homes in Sumter 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. 42% 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 19% of residents moved into their home in the past year, and buying a home is a common time to have the septic system inspected. All 2 companies listed here also offer new septic system installation.

Septic service questions Sumter homeowners ask

How do I choose a septic service company in Sumter?

All 2 Sumter companies here hold 4.5 stars or better.

  • 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 South Carolina septic license or certification number, and check it with South Carolina's Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) yourself instead of trusting the number on the truck.
