Clogs form when organic and inorganic matter get stuck inside a pipe. Cooking grease, soaps, body washes, toothpaste, human hair, pet hair, toilet paper, and even children’s toys can all form blockages in your drains and pipes.

We advise against using liquid drain cleaner as it cannot clean out the clogs that lie beyond the p-trap in your sinks. Also, if you use drain cleaner and then take a plunger to your toilet or sink afterward, you could run the risk of having acid come back up and get all over your skin and clothes.

YES. Bi-annually the pump needs to be removed and cleaned of any debris and floats checked to ensure they are working properly. All water and debris must be removed from the sump basin as well. Once the pump has been replaced, water is poured into the basis to help evaluate if the floats are at the proper height. If they are not, adjustments will be made to ensure proper function of the sump pump.

We  are available to service and repair sump pumps. We offer free onsite estimates to provide piece of mind to our customers. Prices will always be agreed upon in advance and no hidden costs added to their invoice.

Common signs that your septic tank is full are:

  1. sewage backing up into showers at the lowest level in your home
  2. foul (rotten egg) smell coming from the home when using large quantities of water
  3. water surfacing above the septic tank
  4. regular septic tank pumping will help ensure your system is working properly.
Over the years, thick layers of sludge will build up inside your tank. Sludge will then leave your septic tank and enter your leach field causing permanent damage that cannot be fixed. This will lead to your leach field failing and requiring a new and expensive leach field installed.
YES. Family size will determine how often a tank should be pumped. Over the years, thick layers of sludge will build up inside your tank. Sludge will then leave your septic tank and enter your leach field causing permanent damage that cannot be fixed. This will lead to your leach field failing and requiring a new and expensive leach field installed.

If everything in your home is draining properly, then your system is running smoothly and nothing more needs to be done. However, if you are still suffering from backed up drains, you may have a clog in your line that can be easily remedied by calling on us to take care of that problem for you.

ABSOLUTELY! Excessive rains can saturate the soil around your leach field causing the water leaving your septic tank to have nowhere to go. This can result in toilets and showers backing up within your home. The easiest solution is to minimize water usage until the ground has a chance to drain naturally. However, if you must continue to use your water at the normal amount, please feel free to call us so that we can pump out your tank, giving you instant relief from oversaturation.

Our house is a mess as far as out around the septic tank. Two other very popular septic companies came out and told me they couldn't find my tank. We know it's close but they could never pin point it. We called combat and they worked with us and got here quick. My tank was located and my line was cleared in no time at all. My wife said these guys were done before she knew they had started. Polite friendly and very professional.

This company was great to work with! I called on a Thursday morning to get on the schedule to get my septic tank pumped & inspected. They were out here within 2 hours! They were able to do both services & found one repair that needed to be done. They were able to quote me for that & schedule me for the following Monday to get that completed. They are fast & efficient & super friendly! Would definitely recommend to anyone needing septic services in the area!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company! As a real estate agent, I run into septic problems constantly. They have always been so quick to come out and save the day! They are very helpful as far as helping "lifetime clients". They want to set you and your septic up for as long as you live there or own it!

Called them this week for an emergency fix. Sewage was backing up from the septic into the basement. We have a new fully furnished basement and went into panic mode. They schedule us that day! Steve pumped out the septic and discovered another issue. That was also taken care of that day by Kenneth (think that’s his name). Fast forward to today and we had a plumbing issue with our basement again. Called and they answered on a Saturday! Steve immediately came out and took care of the problem promptly! I hate to bother people as I truly believe family time is important. I appreciate Steve coming out and sacrificing his family time to take care of mine! Combat will be the only company I use from now on for all our plumbing/septic related issues! I’ll gladly recommend them to family and friends! Excellent service and hard workers!

I called several other places for estimates to pump my septic tank. I spoke with Steve he was pleasant on the phone. I am glad I went with this company for 2 reasons: the price was right and Steve mannerism. Great job to you Steve and your helper! Janice

Steve and his lovely wife Ann are very knowledgeable about septic and plumbing. They offered same day service at a very reasonable price and saved me thousands by locating our tank and clearing our drain field lines.

Combat is great! I’m a Realtor and had been recommending another company for years. Suddenly the other company stopped digging up systems to pump and inspect. Combat saved the day and was able to make it out quickly and dig to access a fairly deep tank. Have recommended them to several other clients since and all have been very happy with their experience. Will continue recommending to all of my clients in the future.
