John Wulf's Septic Service

Trees add shade and value to a property, but below ground their roots are searching for water, and a septic system is an easy source.

Signs roots may be getting into your system:

• Several drains running slow at once
• Gurgling from toilets when the sink or shower runs
• One patch of lawn over the septic lines that's greener and taller than the rest

One tip: skip the harsh chemical root killers. They can harm the bacteria your tank depends on. A professional camera inspection is the best way to see what's really going on.

Just another day in the life of professional crap takers! 😂

From getting the truck ready and arriving at the jobsite, to locating the septic tank and hand-digging both lids, there’s a lot that goes into doing the job properly. Once the tank is opened, the contents are mixed and pumped while the tank and baffles are visually inspected.

Some days take everything you’ve got, especially in the heat. And at the end of a long, hot day…the ride back to the shop gets pretty quiet! 😂

Thank you to all our customers who trust us with their septic service needs. We truly appreciate your continued support!

Challenging job this week at a campground. We dealt with a sewer blockage in a 22-foot-deep line, with the next manhole located across a pond making access difficult.

We were able to pump the line down while another company we work with performed a confined space entry to safely remove the blockage.

Great teamwork to get everything flowing again safely and efficiently.
