Septic Pumping and Preventive Maintenance

Routine septic pumping is a key part of good preventive maintenance. Speedy provides comprehensive septic maintenance services to customers throughout Umatilla County to keep your system in excellent working condition. Aside from tank pumping, we also provide:

• Septic system inspections to look for leaks, blockages, and excess wear and tear.
• Effluent filter cleaning to keep sludge and solids from entering the drain field.
• Drain field upkeep, including looking for signs of saturation or damage and preventing tree roots from encroaching.
• Baffle replacement and repair to support proper wastewater flow.
• Pipe and pump inspections and repairs to restore safety and proper function.

Commercial Septic Services

The Speedy Septic team provides reliable commercial septic services to local businesses, like:

• Grease interceptor pumping: If you own a restaurant or serve food, Speedy provides effective grease trap/interceptor pumping services to remove fats, oils, and grease (FOGs) before they cause major headaches.

• Lift station service: Our lift station services include maintenance, pumping, and repair for these heavy-duty pumping systems that transport wastewater from a lower collection point to a higher sewer line or treatment area. 

• Sewer ejector pump services: A sewer ejector pump removes solid waste when fixtures are lower than the septic line. We provide sewage grinder and ejector pump services, including inspections, repairs, and replacements. 

Repair or Replace? What Happens When a Septic System Has a Bigger Problem?

Speedy services all types of septic systems, including gravity, pressure distribution, sand filter, and more. If you notice slow drains, foul odors, or gurgling noises, you may only need routine septic pumping. Minor issues like a localized pipe blockage, a failed mechanical pump or control switch, broken outlet baffles, or a damaged tank lid can typically be repaired. However, sometimes your septic system has a bigger problem, and repairs aren’t enough. 

Septic systems that are 25 to 30 years old or older are extremely vulnerable to complete, irreversible drain field failure, recurring backups, cracks, and major structural tank collapse. If the cost to repair your septic system is 50% or more than the cost of a new one, we recommend replacement.
