Service Summary & Maintenance Tips: Our tech will walk you through everything we saw and share any tips to keep things running smoothly, or flag issues before they become headaches.

Why Palestine’s Soil and Tree Growth Make Routine Inspections Critical

With over 1,800 historic sites and a deep-rooted love of tradition, Palestine is known for its charm and its trees. But those beautiful East Texas oaks and dogwoods can wreak havoc on your septic system.

Tree roots often invade older or poorly sealed tanks and drain lines. Meanwhile, Palestine’s shifting soil (a mix of sandy and clay-heavy layers) can cause tanks to tilt, crack, or shift out of position. In areas near Lake Palestine or Davey Dogwood Park, seasonal moisture and wildlife activity can also add strain.

That’s why Mustang Septic emphasizes routine inspections, especially if you live on older properties or near heavily wooded lots. We specialize in OSSF inspections and realtor reports and can identify minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

Common Septic Issues in East Texas Clay and Sandy Soils

Palestine’s humid subtropical climate brings heat and heavy rains, both of which accelerate septic wear and tear.

Our technicians commonly see:

Saturated Drain Fields: That classic East Texas mix of clay and sand can get overwhelmed fast. It holds onto moisture, causing your drain field to back up or stop draining altogether.
Surface Effluent: If you notice wastewater pooling above your system, that’s your septic tank crying out for help. It's usually a sign of a full tank or a saturated field.
Root Intrusion: Trees are great for shade, not so much for your septic system. Their roots can sneak into small cracks and cause big-time disruptions to your flow.
Hydraulic Overload: When too much water floods into your tank too fast, like from a busy household or commercial space, the system can’t keep up, leading to backups and other issues.

As a trusted provider of septic tank service in Palestine, TX, we have the tools to dig into these problems, all without necessarily digging up your yard.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Septic Tank

Knowing when to patch things up or go for a full replacement can be tricky.

H2: How We Locate Septic Tanks Without Digging Up Your Lawn

Not sure where your septic tank is? No problem. At Mustang Septic, we use precise, non-invasive methods to locate tanks without turning your yard into a construction zone.

Here’s how we do it:

No Property Records? No Problem. Many homes in the Palestine area, especially older ones, don’t have tank locations on file. That’s common, and we’re fully equipped to handle it.
We Start with Metal Probes: Our team uses specialized metal probes to detect the outline and depth of your septic tank through the soil, with no guesswork involved.
Advanced Tools for Accurate Results: Got a problematic setup? We bring out the big tech, like sonar, camera systems, and remote tools, to find your tank without guesswork or digging.
Hydrovac Excavation for Clean Exposure: Need to uncover the tank? Our hydrovac system safely blasts through soil with water and suctions it away, leaving your lawn and hardscaping intact.
Locating Services Available as a Standalone Job: Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or realtor, we offer septic locating as a dedicated service across Palestine and surrounding areas.

Mustang Septic makes tank locating fast, accurate, and lawn-friendly every time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Septic Services

Can I install a holding tank on a property that doesn’t qualify for a full septic system?

Yes. We can install holding tanks for properties where traditional systems aren’t viable, especially useful for cabins, shops, or rural properties.

Is hydrovac excavation safe for commercial and urban projects in Waco?

Absolutely. We use controlled, low-pressure water and vacuum systems that are safe for sidewalks, foundations, and paved areas.

How often should commercial sewer jetting be done in Palestine, TX, restaurants or car washes?

High-use facilities may require monthly jetting. We recommend an inspection first, then we’ll tailor a schedule based on your flow volume and grease/oil output.

What are the signs a commercial lift station needs cleaning or maintenance?

Overflow alarms, strong odors, slow pump cycles, or power surges are all warning signs. We service lift stations up to 40 feet deep and 100,000-gallon systems.

What kind of equipment do you use for large-scale municipal sewer cleaning?

Our jetting units are industrial-grade and capable of clearing heavy blockages in municipal sewer lines, storm drains, and wash stands.

What does a realtor septic inspection include?

We evaluate tank condition, drain field health, water flow, and compliance with OSSF standards. Perfect for pre-sale properties and peace of mind.

Is an OSSF inspection different from a standard pumping or maintenance service?

Yes. OSSF inspections follow state and local regulations and are often required during property transfers or system upgrades.
