Springfield’s Premier Septic Company
A gem of the Willamette Valley, Springfield has multiple claims to fame: it’s often cited as likely inspiration for the long-running hit television show The Simpsons and was where renowned sneaker brand Nike got its start. Near the metropolitan hub of Eugene but more affordable, Springfield attracts lots of families looking for a nice suburb with close proximity to a larger city as well as nature for outdoor recreation. While many homes are hooked up to the municipal sewer grid, others use septic systems to dispose of their waste.

Signs It’s Time for Septic Tank Pumping & Septic Cleaning
Even if you’ve owned a septic tank for a while, that doesn’t mean you’re well-versed in the signs your system shows you to let you know you should get it pumped and cleaned. You should get in touch with us for these septic services in Springfield, OR, when you experience any of the following:
- Multiple Slow Drains: When one basin is draining slowly, that’s a drain issue. If you’re dealing with multiple basins draining slowly throughout your house, you likely need to have your septic system pumped.
- Strangely Lush Yard: If the yard above your drain field is unusually green without you taking extra steps to achieve those results, your septic tank may be leaking waste into your ground.
- Bad Smells: Raw sewage has a distinct (and awful) odor. If you smell that inside your home, it’s time for pumping and cleaning.
- 3-5 Years Have Passed: This is the recommended frequency of septic cleaning and pumping, though you may need it more frequently if you have a smaller septic tank.

How To Tell You Need Septic Tank Repair
As with any system in your home, your septic system can begin to degrade and malfunction over time. The following are a few tips you can use to tell when you need to contact us for septic repair:
- Baffles Collapsed: If your baffles are broken, solids can begin to enter your drain field and cause clogs or contamination.
- Damaged Tank Walls: Cracks in the walls of your tank can lead to leaks and septic system malfunctions.
- Failing Leach Field: If there’s standing water in your yard, your drain field may be compromised.
- Root Intrusion: When the roots of nearby trees seek out moisture, they can find it in your septic tank, causing cracks and damage.
- Clogged Filter: An effluent filter that’s become clogged means your septic system could back up.

We’ve put together some answers to questions we frequently receive about our septic services in Springfield, OR.
What kind of septic tank maintenance protects the drain field?
Getting septic tank maintenance performed by an experienced technician is the best way to keep your drain field protected. However, you can also make sure to follow these tips:
- Don’t park or drive on your drain field.
- Avoid water runoff onto your drain field.
- Try not to place the drain field near trees and shrubs.
- Space out your water usage throughout the day and week.
Is a permit necessary for septic tank removal?
Yes, we’ll need to secure a permit with your local jurisdiction. The team at Loose Deuce Septic & Tank Services will handle this for you once you decide to go ahead with the process of removing your septic system.
When do I get septic excavation performed?
Any time your septic tank needs to be removed or replaced, septic excavation is needed. It involves heavy equipment to dig into the ground to access the current septic tank and drain field.
How long can I go before I need septic replacement?
Septic tanks last a long time, with many concrete tanks going as long as 40 years before needing to be replaced. If you have a steel or a fiberglass septic tank, you’ll need it replaced every 20-30 years.
