Services & Process

Tank pumping is a core service here, covering routine maintenance visits as well as emergency pump-outs when a system is backed up or failing. Septic inspections are thorough evaluations of tank condition, inlet and outlet baffles, and drain field performance, often requested by real estate agents and buyers during home sales. Sewer service extends to line cleaning, blockage removal, and diagnosing connection issues between the home and the septic tank. For commercial customers like restaurants or rental property managers, they also handle grease trap cleaning and scheduled maintenance programs that keep systems compliant.

Service Area

Fain Septic Tank & Sewer Service covers Charleston and the surrounding communities, including North Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, and outlying areas of Charleston County. They serve both urban lots within the metro and rural properties in the greater Lowcountry region. Contact them at (843) 553-0888 to schedule service or ask about coverage for your specific address.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my septic tank if I don't know where it's located?
Technicians use a combination of property records, visual inspection of the yard, and probing tools to locate buried tanks. In some cases, electronic locating equipment is used to trace lines from the house to the tank without unnecessary digging.
What's the difference between a septic tank pump-out and a septic inspection?
A pump-out removes accumulated waste from the tank but doesn't always include a thorough evaluation of system components. An inspection goes further, assessing baffles, tank structure, and drain field conditions to give you a complete picture of system health.
How do I know if my septic system needs emergency service?
Signs that warrant an urgent call include sewage backing up into fixtures, strong sewage odors inside the home, or standing wastewater visible on the ground above the tank or drain field. These situations shouldn't wait for a scheduled appointment.
Does Fain service commercial properties and restaurants in Charleston?
Septic and sewer service providers who work in Charleston's commercial market typically handle grease trap cleaning and sewer maintenance alongside residential work. Restaurants and commercial kitchens should ask specifically about service frequency and compliance documentation when scheduling.
What should I avoid putting down the drain to protect my septic system?
Grease, wipes labeled as flushable, and harsh chemical drain cleaners are among the most common culprits that damage septic systems. Keeping these out of your drains extends the time between pump-outs and reduces the risk of premature drain field failure.
Is it possible to connect to Charleston's city sewer if I currently have a septic system?
In some areas, sewer extension programs have brought municipal lines within reach of previously septic-only properties. Whether connection is available and cost-effective depends on your location and the current status of city infrastructure in your neighborhood.
