Reliable Septic Systems
Signs Your Septic System Needs Attention
Slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors in the yard, or standing water near the drain field are all reasons homeowners look into septic tank installation or repair. Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides septic tank installation for properties throughout Danville and Roanoke that don’t have access to municipal sewer service. Our experienced plumbers can evaluate your property’s needs and help determine the right septic solution for a reliable, properly functioning system.
A septic system is a self-contained way of handling wastewater, which means the tank and drain field both have to be sized correctly for the property and the household using them. Getting that sizing right from the start avoids problems that surface years down the road.
What's Included
Septic Tank Installation
Septic installation starts with a site evaluation to determine soil type and drainage characteristics, along with the right tank size for the property and household. Davis Heating works from that evaluation rather than defaulting to a standard tank size regardless of the property’s specific conditions.
Installation includes setting the tank, connecting it to the home’s plumbing, and building out the drain field according to local health department requirements. Permits and inspections are handled as part of the process, since septic systems are closely regulated given their impact on groundwater and property value.

Keeping Your System Running
Septic Tank Repair
A septic system backing up, draining slowly, or producing strong odors usually points to a specific, identifiable problem rather than requiring a full system replacement. Davis Heating diagnoses the actual cause, whether that’s a failing pump, a blocked line, or a drain field issue, before recommending a repair.
Septic tank repair sometimes reveals that regular pumping has been skipped for longer than recommended, which allows solids to build up and eventually reach the drain field, where they cause much more expensive damage than a simple pump-out would have prevented.

A septic system handles wastewater once it leaves the house, and the plumbing inside the home still needs attention of its own. Davis Heating works on both, covering everything below for properties throughout the area.
Sizing a Septic System
How Septic Tank Installers Size a New System
Tank and drain field size depend on the number of bedrooms in a home and the household’s typical water usage, along with the property’s soil percolation rate, which determines how quickly the ground can absorb treated wastewater. A soil test is usually required before installation to confirm the drain field will function properly.
Properties with poor drainage or a high water table sometimes need alternative septic designs beyond a standard gravity system, which can affect both the layout and the overall footprint of the system on the property.
Ongoing Septic Tank Service
What Regular Septic Tank Service Involves
Pumping the tank on a schedule based on household size and tank capacity is the core of most septic tank service, since solids that aren’t removed periodically eventually make their way into the drain field. That buildup is one of the more common reasons a system fails prematurely.
Beyond pumping, service can include inspecting the tank and lines for cracks, along with checking the drain field and confirming that baffles and other components are still functioning as designed.

Common Questions
Septic Tank FAQs
These questions come up most often when Danville and Roanoke property owners look into septic tank installation or repair. If yours isn’t covered here, reach out, and we’ll walk you through it.
How long does septic tank installation take?
Most installations take a few days from site evaluation through final inspection, depending on soil conditions and system complexity.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
Most residential tanks benefit from pumping every three to five years, though household size and usage can shift that timeline.
What are signs my septic system needs repair?
Slow drains, sewage odors, standing water near the drain field, and unusually lush grass over the drain field are all worth having checked.
Can a septic system be installed on any property?
It depends on soil conditions and available space. A percolation test determines whether standard installation is possible or whether an alternative design is needed.
Do septic tank installers handle the permitting process?
Yes, Davis Heating handles permits and inspections as part of the installation process, since septic systems are closely regulated by local health departments.
