Two Common Calls
Your Existing Tank or Your Next Installation
For a property already in use, ask Southland about septic tank pumping, maintenance or a concern that needs investigation. For a construction or replacement project, start with the site plan. Our septic service covers both kinds of work, with inspections and repairs available as the property requires.
Tank Pumping for Existing Systems
When you call Southland for a pump-out, share the last service date if you have it and any changes you have noticed. Pumping removes accumulated tank contents, while visible conditions at the access point may reveal a separate concern worth investigating.

New & Replacement Septic Installation
Building near Lexington or replacing a system at an existing property? Tell Southland where the project stands and whether an approved layout is available. The property plan, access for excavation equipment and order of work help shape the installation discussion.

Clues Around the Property
Describe the Changes Inside and Outside
You do not need to name the broken part before contacting Southland. A clear description is more useful than a guess. Note whether the change affects one fixture, several rooms or the ground outside, and mention any of these observations:
- Several fixtures taking longer to drain
- Bubbling or gurgling after water drains
- A sewage smell indoors or outside
- Wastewater returning through a fixture
- Wet patches around the tank or drain field
- Grass growing noticeably greener over the field
Let the condition of the system guide the work. Removing tank contents addresses a different need from repairing piping or correcting a drain-field failure. A backup by itself does not tell you which service will resolve it. See how Southland approaches septic repair.

Questions Homeowners Often Ask Southland
A service record, a known tank location or a description of when the trouble started can help Southland understand your request. Have those details handy if available, and mention any upcoming construction or closing date that affects your timing.
I have no pumping records for my Lexington-area home. Where do I start?
Tell Southland what you know about the property, including how many people live there and whether the tank location is marked. Missing records do not establish when pumping is due. Tank size, household use and any available service history help guide that discussion.
Which details should I mention when describing a septic problem?
Describe the change in your own words: which drains are affected, when you first noticed it and whether anything looks different outside. Mention odors, unusual plumbing sounds or wastewater returning indoors. Southland can use that account as a starting point; symptoms alone do not identify the failed part.
Can I request an evaluation before deciding on replacement?
Yes. Let Southland know that you want the existing problem evaluated. A pump-out, a line repair and a drain-field project address different conditions. Finding where the trouble lies comes before deciding whether replacement is appropriate for your property.
What should I have ready to discuss an installation with Southland?
Start with the site address and explain whether you are building or replacing an existing system. Share the approved property plan if available, along with your project stage and equipment-access concerns. Southland handles new and replacement installations, with the work subject to the approved layout and local scheduling.
Who should call Southland about an inspection for a property sale?
A buyer, seller or real-estate professional can contact Southland with the address and anticipated closing date. Mention whether the tank location and access point are known. If locating is needed, discuss that when arranging the inspection so access can be accounted for.
How do I check whether Southland can respond on a weekend?
Phone 803-837-1457 and ask about the current on-call availability for your address. Southland operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and takes weekend calls. An online request does not confirm an emergency appointment; response timing depends on the available crew.
