Frequently Asked Questions About Rice Backhoe & Septic Cleaning Service Inc.
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Most households require septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on factors like tank size, household occupancy, and water usage. Rice Septic can help you determine the ideal schedule based on your system and lifestyle.
What are the signs my septic tank is full or failing?
Common warning signs include slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, standing water near the drain field, and sewage backups inside the home. If you notice any of these, contact Rice Septic for a prompt inspection.
Do you offer emergency septic services?
Yes. Rice Septic provides fast, reliable emergency services for backups, overflows, and system failures. We're here when you need urgent help to protect your property and restore function.
How much does it cost to pump or service a septic tank?
Pricing depends on your tank’s size, condition, and location. Most routine pump-outs fall within a standard range, and Rice Septic offers upfront, transparent pricing so you know what to expect before we begin.
What should I avoid putting down my drains to protect my septic system?
To keep your system healthy, avoid flushing or draining grease, wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, harsh chemicals, and excessive food waste. Use septic-safe toilet paper and cleaners to prevent clogs and system damage.
Do you install new septic systems?
While Rice Septic no longer handles septic installations, we’re here to help with maintenance, repairs, and inspections to keep your system in top condition.
How long does a septic system usually last?
With proper care, most septic systems last 25 to 30 years. Longevity depends on soil conditions, usage habits, and regular maintenance. Rice Septic offers services to help extend the life of your system.
What maintenance do you recommend besides pumping?
In addition to routine pumping, Rice Septic recommends regular inspections to identify potential issues early, conserving water to reduce strain on your system, and keeping the drain field clear of trees, vehicles, and heavy equipment. These proactive steps help maintain your system’s performance, prevent damage, and extend its lifespan.
Do you service rural properties and farms?
Yes. Rice Septic proudly serves residential, commercial, and agricultural properties throughout Western Oklahoma. We understand the unique needs of rural systems and deliver dependable service wherever you are.
