"I am never one to write a negative review. I go out of my way to support small businesses and refer; but this will be the exception. We hired GBC for a $106,000 bid on our backyard and they left the job expecting payment in full. Their workmanship was sub-par at best. Pavers, unlevel. Stonework and masonry, unfinished and not plum. Left a mess of masonry on new pavers and left our kitchen without electricity, granite and forgot to put in a drain for the outdoor sink which we cannot install now because of their lack of pre-direction. The foreman also harassed my neighbor and their construction contractor and was out of line and unprofessional in many instances. I am appalled at the quality of work, ethics and outcome from this company and feel it’s my obligation to help protect others from their poor workmanship. It’s been a lesson for us, we hope others don’t have to deal with the same."

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.
