Owned and operated by Corey Kadlec, we take pride in delivering top-notch professional service on time, every time.

Time of Transfer Septic Inspections

Septic Systems in Iowa are subject to mandatory inspections when a property is sold. Known as Time of Transfer inspections, these inspections play a crucial role in safeguarding the environment and public health. These inspections are conducted to ensure that the septic system is functioning properly and disposing of wastewater responsibly, preventing contamination of our precious water resources. Time of Transfer inspections, importantly, help to identify illegal septic systems that may be discharging untreated sewage directly into the ground or waterways. This proactive approach helps us protect our environment and ensure that water quality standards are upheld for future generations.

Sometimes, addressing septic system issues requires digging down to the root of the problem. Our team at Septic Services of Iowa is highly skilled in excavation work, ranging from minor repairs to major installations. Certified through the Iowa Onsite Wastewater Association (IOWWA) and the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), we are qualified to install septic systems throughout Iowa.

No job is too big or too small; we tackle every project with the same level of expertise and dedication.

Pumping and Maintenance

A crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy and efficient septic system is regular pumping. Septic tanks typically require pumping every 3 to 5 years, but the exact schedule can vary depending on factors such as water usage, tank size, and occupancy. Consistent pumping helps prevent the buildup of solids and liquids, ensuring the efficient operation of your septic system and extending its lifespan. At Septic Services of Iowa, we have the expertise to assess your septic system and recommend an appropriate pumping schedule.

Protecting Your Septic System

We understand that septic systems are an essential part of your home or property. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge and tools needed to maintain your septic system effectively.

Here are some helpful tips to keep your septic system functioning smoothly:

• Regular Pumping: As discussed, regular pumping is vital.
• Avoid Driving Over the Drainfield: The drainfield is a crucial part of your septic system where wastewater is treated naturally. Heavy vehicles can damage the drainfield and impair its function.

• Effluent Filter Maintenance: Most modern septic systems are equipped with effluent filters. These filters trap solids and debris, extending the lifespan of your system. Remove and rinse your effluent filter twice a year to ensure optimal performance.

• Avoid Building Over the Septic System: Always be aware of the location of your septic tank and drainfield, and avoid building or constructing over these areas. Accidental damage can lead to costly repairs.

• Water Conservation: Simple changes like taking shorter showers, fixing leaky faucets, and avoiding water waste help reduce the load on your septic system, extending its lifespan.

• Appropriate Detergents: Choose septic-safe detergents. Avoid powder detergents, which often contain clay and fillers that can harm your septic system.

• Hazardous Waste Disposal: Never flush bleach, household chemicals, or other hazardous substances down your drains. These substances can disrupt the beneficial bacteria in your septic system, leading to malfunctions.
