Pumping & inspections
Septic Service Troy NC: Pumping and Inspections
Pumping is the regular maintenance every tank needs. The EPA says household tanks are typically pumped every three to five years, and systems with pumps or floats should be inspected more often. We uncover the lids, pump the tank, check the baffles and clean the effluent filter if there is one. See septic tank pumping.
Inspections for buyers and sellers
For a Troy-area sale, we locate and open the tank, check its baffles, inlet and outlet, look at any pump tank and alarm, walk the drain field and camera the lines when needed. Pumping is a recommended add-on, not a requirement. See real estate septic inspections.
Soil
Slate Belt Soils Around Troy
Troy sits in the Carolina Slate Belt, the old volcanic rock of the Uwharries. In NRCS soil data, the soils around town include Herndon, Georgeville, Badin, Tarrus and Goldston. Herndon is very deep and well drained. The Georgeville series, a red clay common across the Piedmont, has its type location in Montgomery County. Badin soils are only moderately deep, and Goldston soils are shallow and full of rock fragments.
That mix means one lot may take a conventional field and the next may need a pump tank and LPP or drip lines. Even so, most rated soil map units around Troy are listed as very limited for conventional septic absorption fields, so the county soil evaluation matters.

The county has applications for a new septic system (soil evaluation), a wastewater system construction authorization, and an existing septic system reconnection or property addition.
The department is moving its permits online, so a copy of an older permit may take several days while files are scanned. If you need to know where an old tank is in the meantime, we can find it in the yard.

Repairs & installs
Repairs, Replacements and New Systems
We repair lines, baffles, distribution boxes, pumps, floats and alarms, and we repair or replace drain fields under a county repair permit. When a tank itself has failed, we replace it, as in the excavation shown below. See septic repairs.
Installs
We install conventional, chamber, panel block, LPP and drip systems to the county permit, with concrete or plastic tanks set as part of the complete job. We don’t sell tanks on their own. See septic system installs.
Engineered systems
LPP and Drip Maintenance Near Troy
Shallow, rocky ground is a common reason a lot needs a pump-dosed system. If your operation permit calls for a certified subsurface operator, Dahl Septic Services has one for the scheduled checks on pumps, floats, alarms, filters and laterals. See subsurface maintenance.

Tank Locating, Decommissioning and Site Work
We locate tanks by probing and with a sonde, camera the lines and add risers. When a home connects to town sewer or a tank is retired, we pump it and crush or fill it in place; see septic tank decommissioning. Wooded lots often need clearing and grading before a new field goes in; see land clearing and site work.

FAQ
Troy septic questions
Is my home in Troy on town sewer?
Inside the Town of Troy’s sewer system, yes. Homes outside it use septic. A water bill with no sewer charge usually means you have a septic tank.
Who issues septic permits in Troy?
Montgomery County Environmental Health at Montgomery County Central Permitting in Troy, (910) 572-3304. The office closes for lunch from noon to 1.
I need a copy of an old septic permit. Why is it taking a while?
Montgomery County is moving its permits to an online system, and older permits are being scanned, so a copy can take several days. We can locate the tank in the yard if you need it sooner.
What kind of soil is around Troy?
Carolina Slate Belt soils such as Herndon, Georgeville, Badin, Tarrus and Goldston. Some are deep and well drained; Badin is moderately deep and Goldston is shallow and rocky.
Do you replace septic tanks?
Yes, as part of a repair or replacement job. We set concrete or plastic tanks to the county permit.
Do I need an effluent filter cleaned?
If your tank has one, yes. We check and clean it when we pump, because a clogged filter backs water up into the house.
