Services & Process

Septic tank pumping removes built-up solids that accumulate over years of normal use, protecting the drain field from premature clogging and failure. On the plumbing side, drain cleaning, line inspections, and pipe repairs address blockages and damage that can affect how waste flows from the house to the tank. Combining both disciplines means a technician can determine whether a backup is caused by a plumbing issue inside the home or a full or failing septic system outside. Routine septic inspections are also available for homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems before they turn into emergencies.

Service Area

The DrainMasters serves Billings and the surrounding metro area, including residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and rural lots on the outskirts of the city. Communities near Billings such as Lockwood, Shepherd, and the Heights area are part of their regular service territory. Both in-town plumbing calls and out-of-town septic jobs are taken on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my problem is a plumbing issue or a septic issue?
If only one drain is slow or clogged, it's usually a plumbing problem in that specific line. If multiple drains throughout the house are slow at the same time, or if you're noticing outdoor signs like wet ground near the tank, the issue is more likely in the septic system.
How often should a septic tank be pumped for a typical Billings household?
For an average family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank, pumping every three to four years is a reasonable schedule. Larger households or smaller tanks may need service every two years to keep solids from overflowing into the drain field.
Can a plumber work on septic systems, or do I need a separate contractor?
Some plumbers are licensed and equipped to handle both interior plumbing and septic system work, while others only work on one side or the other. Confirming upfront that your provider handles both saves you from having to call two different companies for what might be a connected problem.
What's a septic camera inspection, and do I need one?
A camera inspection runs a small video camera through the sewer line from the house to the tank to check for cracks, root intrusion, or blockages. It's especially useful before buying a property or when diagnosing persistent slow drain issues that don't respond to normal cleaning.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners if I have a septic system?
Most chemical drain cleaners are hard on septic systems because they kill the bacteria that break down waste inside the tank. Enzyme-based products are a safer alternative, but mechanical drain cleaning by a professional is the most effective option when you have a real blockage.
What should I do if sewage backs up into my home?
Stop using all water in the house immediately and call a plumbing and septic provider right away. Don't attempt to clear the backup yourself since backed-up sewage is a health hazard, and the cause needs to be properly diagnosed before anything is done.
