Services & Process

Shirley's covers drain cleaning for clogged or slow-moving drains throughout the home, using methods like snaking or hydro-jetting to clear blockages in kitchen, bathroom, and utility lines. On the septic side, they handle tank pumping and system inspections to keep the tank functioning properly between service intervals. Because they're also plumbers, they can repair or replace the sewer line connecting your house to the septic tank, which is a common point of failure in older Wichita homes. Grease buildup in kitchen drain lines is another specialty, relevant for both residential customers and small commercial properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a drain cleaning and a septic pump-out?
Drain cleaning clears blockages inside the pipes running through your home, usually using a snake or high-pressure water jet. A septic pump-out removes the accumulated waste from the underground tank itself. You may need one or both depending on where the problem originates.
Can a plumber tell me if my slow drain is a pipe problem or a septic problem?
Yes, a plumber with septic experience can usually distinguish between the two by checking which drains are affected and running a basic inspection of both systems. If only one drain is slow, it's typically a localized pipe issue. Multiple slow drains throughout the house point toward the septic tank.
How often should drain lines be cleaned in a home with a septic system?
There's no fixed schedule, but having drains inspected and cleaned every few years can prevent buildup that eventually stresses the septic system. Kitchen lines in particular accumulate grease over time, which can create blockages before they ever reach the tank.
Are there things I shouldn't put down the drain with a septic system?
Yes. Grease, coffee grounds, wipes labeled as flushable, medications, and harsh chemical drain cleaners can all disrupt the bacterial balance in your septic tank or clog the system. Sticking to toilet paper and biodegradable soaps goes a long way toward keeping the system healthy.
Do I need a septic inspection when buying a home in Wichita?
If the property uses a septic system rather than city sewer, a pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended. The inspection should include pumping the tank and checking the condition of the inlet and outlet baffles, the drain field, and any visible pipe connections.
What causes sewage odors inside a house connected to a septic system?
Odors indoors usually trace back to dried-out P-traps under sinks or floor drains, a damaged wax ring under a toilet, or a venting issue in the plumbing. If the odor is strongest outside near the drain field, the septic system itself may be the source and should be inspected promptly.
