Expert Septic Services in Santa Ana, CA

We love the diversity of the city of Santa Ana.


Where to we even start with Santa Ana? DTSA is incredible, and it's one of our favorite places to hang out with the family or even just to have a little fun on the weekends. We've also found our absolute favorite tacos al vapor in SoCal right off of 17th street (and you can bet we hit that place up just about every time we serve a septic customer in Santa Ana.)


This is all not even mentioning the incredible Bowers Museum, the Discovery Cube and South Coast Plaza, the shopping center that attracts tourists from around the world. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!


Santa Ana has an extremely long history in Orange County. It's actually one of the first cities that was incorporated in the area, all the way back in 1888. With a population of over 300,000, there's a relatively small population that still relies on septic services. But to us, that small portion means a lot. Any opportunity that we have to develop stronger relationships with our community is a pleasure.


We're just around the corner and here whenever you need us.

Septic Tank Cleaning in Santa Ana, CA

If you rely on a septic tank for your property, you need us. What we mean is, you need a professional, licensed septic company to handle your needs. Septic tanks aren't really a "set it and forget it" kind of things, although it can be easy to do just that because they're underground somewhere, out of sight and out of mind.


But the reality is, there are a lot of things that could end up in your septic system that it's simply not designed to handle. Things outside of human waste, toilet paper, etc.


These miscellaneous objects become a problem because the bacteria inside of your septic tank isn't capable of handling them. They can't break down jewelry, Legos, socks, or anything like that. You wouldn't believe some of the things we've found inside of septic tanks in Santa Ana! And then those items infiltrate your septic system, they cause a whole bunch of problems.


However, life happens. For a healthy septic tank, regular maintenance, including pumping, is highly recommended. We hesitate to use the word "required" because it really isn't...unless you want your septic tank to last for approximately 15 years.


Because of our extensive knowledge of septic tanks, we are able to identify any problems quickly. Occasionally, septic tank maintenance isn't necessary after one of these diagnostic services, but most often, when we're called out to a property, it's time to pump the tank.


Irvine Septic System Services is the company you can trust when you have septic problems. Please let us know how we can help!

Santa Ana Septic Services

We're proud to offer expert septic services to our community in Orange County, and that most certainly includes the good people of Santa Ana.

Septic Tank Pumping Near Me

One question that we get really often is about how to properly maintain a septic system. When a homeowner or a property manager asks us this question, this makes us extremely happy, because it means that they're already thinking long-term. And that likely means that their septic system will last for decades to come, which is exactly what we want! Routine septic tank pumping is a crucial part of this maintenance. Depending on how many people are occupying the property, it will need to be pumped every 1-3 years to keep it running in tip top shape.

Septic Tank Repair Services

If you're noticing the signs of a malfunctioning septic system and you've been very diligent about your pumping and any necessary repair services, it could be happening for a number of reasons. For example, sometimes construction projects or paving projects have occured over the septic system, slowly causing damage. Or maybe the system was designed or installed improperly from the beginning, which can lead to different components failing if they've been working too hard over time. And then there's the most common one: foreign objects and chemicals making their way into pipes and drains, leading to blockages and obstructions. Truth is, there could be hundreds of different reasons, and no matter what, we'll be here if you need any repairs.

Septic Tank Replacement & Installation Services

t is important for a septic system to be installed the right way from the very beginning. Earlier, we mentioned that when these systems start to fail, one possibility is that they weren't installed correctly in the first place. Irvine Septic System Services doesn't make those kinds of mistakes. The location and size of the septic tank are two important factors that it's very important to get right. If you're thinking about installing a septic system in your residence, for example, we can advise you on the type of system based on the number of bedrooms and. For commercial buildings, things are a bit different. But due to our extensive experience, we know how to determine the potential complexity of septic system installation on new construction, since the project involves several variables.

If your septic system is older and is beginning to break down, safety hazards are inevitably on the horizon. In these circumstances, we'll have to visit your property to identify signs that it is starting to fail. A simple component replacement can sometimes resolve the problem. Nevertheless, there are times when septic system replacement is the only option. As a rule, we assess cases based on the information we have to determine the best course of action.

Septic System Inspection Santa Ana

Orange County residents can rely on us to perform septic tank inspections. Homeowners, realtors, escrow companies, and other organizations have relied on our valuable services during a volatile housing market here in Orange County. Prospective homebuyers should thoroughly inspect a septic system before they purchase a property to ensure it is functioning properly. Septic systems should be inspected by an insured and licensed company (and that company should be us). In hot markets, people will often cut corners in order to close on a home as quickly as possible. Septic system inspections are often one of those corners. However, we must insist that it cannot be glossed over or ignored. It's just that simple. If you need a septic inspection done, our customer service representatives can schedule the inspection right away upon receiving your call. Afterwards, a report will be prepared for you to review and take into consideration during your homebuying process.

FAQ About Septic Tanks & Septic Systems in Santa Ana

  • What are the signs that your septic tank is full?

    This is a great question, because a responsible owner of a septic system will be alert to any signs of potential failure. Here are a few to watch out for, and give us a call if you're noticing any of the following:

    • Gurgling sounds in the plumbing
    • The grass over the septic tank or drainfield is suddenly especially lush and green (plants love manure, so the grass will be happy if your septic tank is leaking)
    • Bathtubs, showers and sinks that are suddenly draining much more slowly
    • Water or sewage from drains, sinks and toilets backing up into the home (probably the most obvious sign)
    • Standing water near the septic tank or drainfield (we live in Southern California where we don't get too much rainy water, so this should be a red flag for anyone)
  • What happens if you don't pump your septic tank?

    If you don't pump your septic tank, the solids inside will continue to accumulate until they overreach the holding capacity of the tank. When this happens, the solids will start to travel through the pipe that feeds into the drain field, inevitably resulting in clogs. Clogs lead to waste water puddling outside of the septic tank, or backing up into the house. Basically, a whole lot of things that you don't want happening!

  • What breaks down the sewage in a septic tank?

    This is a little known fact to most, especially those who are new to owning a home or property that operates with a septic system. Inside of a septic tank are microbes--namely enzymes and bacteria--that break down and liquefy organic waste. The key is organic waste. That's why its such a big deal when foreign objects enter a septic system, because the mix of bacteria and enzymes aren't able to break them down, resulting in clogs and obstructions.

  • If I have a septic tank, can I use bleach?

    Since we just covered the role that bacteria play in the functionality of your septic system, a logical next question that we get is about chemicals. And those are great questions to ask, because obviously, chemicals can disrupt the balance of bacteria. Surprisingly, bleach in moderate amounts can be tolerated by a septic system. However, even minimal amounts of drain cleaner can be catastrophic to the balance of beneficial bacteria in your septic tank. So say no to the drain cleaner!

  • Are long showers bad for septic systems?

    Frequent long showers are not good for septic systems. The same goes for washing small loads of laundry on a frequent basis. This is because the primary treatment tank needs time to break up solid waste before partly-treated water can enter the drain field. If the system is constantly being bombarded with water coming from showers or the clothes washer, it does not have enough time to complete this process. This leads to problems down the line.

Preventing Septic System Failure

When it comes to the physical health of our bodies, proper maintenance and preventative care is key. We need good food--avoiding the junk food whenever possible--adequate rest and a good amount of exercise to be healthy. And regular checkups with our doctors help us to identify any potential problems and prevent them before they happen, or treat them.


Your septic system pretty much operates the same way. You have to avoid letting any "junk" enter the system by way of toilets and drains. It also needs regular maintenance by means of septic pumping services, to make sure that everything keeps running smoothly.


Just like our bodies can fail if we neglect to take care of them, so can our septic systems. We're not doctors or anything, but we can tell you that a failing septic tank can have an impact on your health. This is because waste that leaks from a septic system that needs to be pumped can release hazardous gases and contaminate groundwater.


Being a septic tank owner comes with a huge responsibility! Protect yourself, your family and your community by doing the right thing and having your septic system maintained properly. Together, we can prevent any potential failure, and have you running right for years or even decades to come.
