Local know-how
Septic in Jacksonville is different.
Soil, water table, weather and the city's sewer plans all shape how a system here should be cared for.
Read the Jacksonville guideSandy soil over a high water table
Much of Duval County drains fast at the surface but sits close to groundwater. When the water table rises, a drain field has less room to work - which is why a system can seem fine in spring and struggle in August.
Summer storms, every afternoon
Jacksonville's rainy season runs roughly June through September. Days of heavy rain saturate the drain field, and an already-full tank is the first thing to back up.
Hurricane season and power outages
A lift station needs power to move wastewater. When a storm knocks out power, the basin keeps filling. Knowing where your breaker is - and cutting water use - buys time.
Septic-to-sewer conversions
JEA and the City of Jacksonville have been moving some older neighborhoods from septic to sewer. If your street is on the list, a pump-out and inspection still matter until you're connected - and the old tank has to be properly abandoned afterward. Check with JEA for your address.

Which parts of Jacksonville do you serve?
We work across Duval County, with most calls on the Northside (Oceanway, New Berlin, Dinsmore) and Westside (Baldwin, Whitehouse, Maxville, Cecil). Elsewhere in Jacksonville, call and we'll confirm timing for your address.
How often should Jacksonville homeowners pump their septic tank?
Most households land between every 2 and 5 years depending on tank size, household size and whether you use a garbage disposal. In Jacksonville, schedule it before the summer rains rather than during them.
My neighborhood is switching from septic to JEA sewer. Do I still need service?
Until you're connected, yes - a backup before the switch is still your repair. After you connect, the old tank has to be properly abandoned. Check with JEA for your street's timeline, and call us for either step.
Are you based in Jacksonville?
We're based just up the road in Hilliard, in Nassau County - close enough to be on the Northside in well under an hour, and born and raised in North Florida.
