"We originally chose a different septic system company and the day they were supposed to start...no call, no show. Frustrated, we reached out to several folks who advised us to use All Town and Country Septic Tank Service to have our septic tank replaced. We are glad that the original company did not show up and that we chose to work with All Town and Country. Starting on day 1 and through the duration of the project, Tyler and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He explained the process and expectations clearly to us at the beginning and through completion. This was a big job (for us) and came with some challenges... as most do. Tyler and his team were honest and forthcoming with every issue no matter how big or small. They did what they could to handle access limitations, weather conditions, unexpected digging/ground issues and any other issues that were encountered. Tyler constantly kept us informed so we understood the options and outcomes as well as shared his experiences so we could make educated decisions. Regardless of the situation, he made sure it was done right, as if he was working on his own home and property. Tyler and his team honored every commitment made. We really do appreciate the level of customer service and respect that we were afforded through the process by all of them. Based on the level of integrity and trust that we have built through the process with All Town and Country Septic Tank Service, we have decided to continue to use them for our septic tank maintenance and would recommend them for septic tank needs."

CSI was started approximately five years ago, but we have been working with Cleveland Waterproofing since 1990. We started off with black and white vhs camera video. Throughout the years we progressed to full color dvd burning cds and now we use usb port chip keys with full digital display. Our jetting was done by a mini jet that worked for many years, but as innovation required better equipment, we purchased a self-contained portable trailer jetter. We come to you onsite with 750 gallons of water ready to set your sewer free. Can you actually remember the last time you had your drains flushed by 3000 psi of water at 20 gallons a minute? Most of you will say never! Don’t let the mechanical snake guys take your money. All they do is poke a hole in the obstruction, get you relief, and then they are on their way. The proper way is to use a camera, find the obstruction and jet the blockage. The jet uses its multiple heads to clear blockage: from simple toilet paper block to an aggressive root problem. You will see in some of our pictures that the jet and snake can’t fix everything. Sometimes you have to dig to fix the serious issues.

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.
