Our nearly 40 years of working with septic tanks in the Eustis area gives us the experience and knowledge to handle a wide range of services.
Septic tanks are a common way to deal with wastewater in the Eustis, Florida area, and when properly cared for, they can give you a lifetime of service. Here at Sauer Septic, we can be part of keeping your septic system operating as it should and avoiding costly repairs and premature replacement. It is a common misconception that all that is needed is to pump out septic tanks every 3 to 5 years. They should also be inspected regularly, including the septic tanks themselves and the other components, such as the drain field and drain lines.
Any number of things can result in issues with septic tanks. Sending non-biodegradable items to the septic system is one of the most avoidable problems, and our staff is more than happy to provide valuable information about what you should and should not flush or put down the drains in your home or business. If we notice any red flags during an inspection, we will let you know, so you can make a change in how you care for the system.
We also inspect septic tanks for buyers and sellers of real estate, since both parties will want to be sure there isn’t something wrong with the septic system during the sale of a property. Our locally owned and operated company has served the Eustis area since 1980, so you can be sure that we can handle anything you need regarding septic tanks and systems. We have the experience and knowledge you need to handle a wide range of septic services. Call us today to learn more.

FAQs About Septic Tanks
If you’re one of many homeowners with a septic tank, you probably have a lot of questions, including what steps you can take to ensure it continues to function as it should. We tell all our customers the same thing, and that’s that consistent septic tank maintenance is the first step. Secondary steps and other commonly asked questions are listed below.
How frequently should I have my septic tank pumped?
The size of the tank, the number of residents in the home, and the volume of wastewater created all influence the frequency of septic tank pumping. However, a general rule of thumb to help you avoid solid waste buildup is to have your septic tank pumped every three to five years. We would be happy to advise you on the proper schedule for your home.
How can I tell if my septic tank needs pumping?
Some telltale signs include slow drains, sewage backups, foul odors surrounding the tank or drain field, and pooling water in the yard. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call.
What should I avoid flushing through my septic system?
To keep your septic system healthy, don’t flush non-biodegradable goods like wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, grease, oil, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals. These can clog pipes and disrupt the natural biological activities in the tank. As a general rule, the only thing you should flush is human waste and toilet paper.
Should I use additives or chemicals to maintain my septic tank?
Generally, it is better to avoid using additives or chemicals in your septic tank since they can upset the natural balance of microorganisms required for proper wastewater treatment. Some additives can potentially harm the environment or the tank’s components.
Should I get my septic system tested on a regular basis?
Yes, regular inspections and maintenance by our team are necessary for spotting any problems early on and maintaining the effective operation of your septic system.
