Our family of companies has been serving Long Island with pride for 25 years. We take all major credit cars cash and checks. Mention this ad for special discounts.

"This was our second time working with Clear River Environmental. They installed our new septic tank and leaching pool over a year ago for $7200. I was hesitant to use them again due to their lack of communication with regards to follow-up documents which were required by the Health Department. They attributed their lack of sending me the "as-builts" and other required certifications to having switched over their computers to a new system. Nevertheless, the issue was eventually resolved after numerous calls to their office. Fast forward to 11/19/20....I called them to install a future expansion pool which was required by the Health Department. I figured that they were at least familiar with the property and I had no complaints with the actual install from last time. Long story short...they cut through a gas line to our pool which necessitated a call to National Grid. They also destroyed large branches from a tree, a large portion of recently installed sod, as well as pavers and the curb cutout. Granted all of this damage is listed on their disclaimer, however I was a bit dismayed when they refused to compensate me for any of the bill that was required to do repair work. I understand that the owner is responsible for informing the seller of "underground perils," however I would also expect the professionals to ask the right questions before beginning a job. I would also expect professionals to consider something more than just the "repeat customer" discount to alleviate the buyer from some of the expense and stress caused by the damage of the gas line. This second job cost $5,300. Total money paid to Clear River Environmental = $12,500 . The repair to gas line cost me $900 . The pavers and curb have yet to be repaired."

Septic tank cleanings or pump outs FAQs

Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.

If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.

Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.

You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
