Frequently Asked Questions

Is City Sewer licensed and insured?

Yes. City Sewer is fully licensed and insured in the state of Michigan. This protects your property, ensures our work meets state standards, and guarantees that all septic waste is handled and disposed of legally and responsibly at approved facilities throughout the region.

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

Most residential septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years, though the exact timing depends on tank size and household usage. Regular pumping prevents solids from reaching the drain field and extends the life of your system. City Sewer can recommend a schedule that fits your home.

What are the signs my septic system is failing?

Common warning signs include slow drains, foul odors indoors or outside, pooling water or soggy ground over the drain field, unusually lush grass above the system, and gurgling sounds in your plumbing. If you notice any of these, contact City Sewer promptly for an inspection.

How long does a septic pump-out take?

A typical residential septic pump-out takes about 20 to 60 minutes, depending on tank size and how full it is. City Sewer works efficiently while being thorough, ensuring your tank is properly cleaned and your system is left in good working condition before we leave.

What size is a typical residential septic tank?

Most residential septic tanks hold between 1,000 and 1,500 gallons, with size based on the number of bedrooms and household water use. If you are unsure of your tank size, City Sewer can determine it during a service visit or inspection and advise on proper maintenance.
