Septic pumping
Regular septic pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank and helps keep the system operating properly. Most household septic tanks in Multnomah County need pumping every three to eight years depending on usage.
Emergency septic pumping
Sewage backups, overflowing tanks, and other urgent problems can quickly become messy and disruptive. Speedy Septic offers 24/7 emergency septic pumping in Multnomah County for urgent problems.
Septic tank repair
Many septic problems simply require professional diagnosis to determine if the issue with your tank, pipes, pump, or other component is repairable. When you call us for septic tank repair, our experts will tell you what needs to be done to get your system working properly.
Septic inspections
A septic inspection in Multnomah County will start by assessing the condition of your system and advising you as to what needs to be done right away, and what can wait. We also advise scheduling an inspection before buying a home with a septic system.
Drain field repair and remediation
Drain field problems can affect the entire septic system. We provide drain field repair and remediation services when drainage issues need to be addressed.
Septic drain cleaning and hydro jetting
Slow drains and recurring clogs sometimes point to buildup or blockages in your septic lines. We use drain cleaning and hydro jetting to clear difficult buildup and restore wastewater flow.
Septic pipe restoration and descaling
Aging, damaged, or scaled pipes often contribute to slow drainage and backups in the system. Our pipe restoration and descaling services address certain pipe problems and help avoid the need for complete system replacement.
Septic system maintenance
Routine septic system maintenance is necessary to help identify developing problems before they become more serious and disruptive. At Speedy Septic we ensure your septic system is operating at top efficiency by performing our septic system evaluation on every septic pump job we complete.
Septic system locating
If you aren’t sure where your septic tank or other system components are located, our professionals are able to find them and show you where they are. This allows you to move forward with any landscaping or other work, secure in the knowledge that the work won’t accidentally damage the system.
Septic replacement
If your septic system has extensive damage, or has reached the end of its useful life, replacement may make more sense than continued repairs. At Speedy Septic we also provide expert septic installation and excavation services, and will advise you on the best system for your property.
Common Septic Problems in Multnomah County
You may have a septic problem and not be aware of it because it hasn’t yet resulted in an obvious sewage backup. If you’re noticing slow drains or gurgling, the tank may simply be full, but if problems continue after pumping there may be an issue with the drain field, pipes, or other components.
Septic problems during wet weather
Multnomah County gets substantial rainfall, and heavy or prolonged rain can leave the soil around your drain field saturated, making it more difficult for the wastewater to disperse properly.
If your yard develops unusually soggy areas after heavy rain, or you notice changes in how your system’s draining, schedule an inspection so we can assess the situation and let you know what needs to be done before it gets worse.
Slow drains and sewage backups
Several slow drains, toilets backing up, or wastewater appearing where it shouldn’t all indicate that there may be a problem with your septic system or the line leading to it.
If sewage starts backing up into your home, stop using water right away, keep people and pets away from the affected area, and call us immediately for emergency septic pumping and servicing.
Septic alarms
Most septic alarms signal a high water level or pump problem. Cut back on water use until a technician can check the system, and call us right away.
Sewage odors around the property
A septic problem is often signaled by persistent sewage odors around your tank, drain field, or property. Odors can have several causes, and an inspection will tell us what’s happening so it can be addressed before it gets worse.

See What Satisfied Clients Are Saying About Speedy Septic!
"When we were building our house they came out looked at our plans, looked at our area and picked the perfect correct size right septic for our new build. They were so professional and helpful answered all my questions, answered all our builders questions I would totally use them again. We did just recently use them again as we had a clog in our septic and they were very fast at getting, out getting it fixed and getting everything working again. So great to know they are there for any emergency."– Traci M.

What Happens During a Septic Service Appointment?
A typical septic pumping appointment includes removing accumulated solids and evaluating the system. Others may involve inspecting the tank and drain field, locating components, checking lines, clearing blockages, or assessing damaged pipes.
The type of service we recommend will depend on the problem and the condition of your system. Cost depends on the same factors: the size of your tank, how long it’s been since it was last pumped, how easy it is to reach, the type and extent of damage, the parts or excavation involved, and whether the job is routine or an emergency.
When Is Septic Repair Better Than Replacement?
Whether a repair is better than replacement depends on what’s damaged, the condition of the rest of the system, and whether the underlying problem can be corrected without replacing major components. When we do the inspection, we’ll let you know whether septic repair for your Multnomah County system is appropriate or if replacement is the better option.
