Plenty of Matthews is on public sewer, but not all of it. If your home isn’t connected, it runs on a septic system, and that system needs pumping, an inspection now and then, and sometimes a repair.
Dahl Septic Services is based in Albemarle and works across Union County. Matthews sits on US 74 between Charlotte and Monroe, right next to the Union County towns we already work in. Call or text (704) 218-9070 with your address and what you need.

Pricing depends on the job: your tank size, how easy the lids are to get to, and the drive out. Request a quote, or call or text (704) 218-9070, and we’ll get back to you with a price.
Septic tank pumping in Matthews
Most homes pump every 3 to 5 years, sooner with a larger household or heavy water use. Not sure when it was last done? That’s common after buying a house, and pumping it now gives you a starting point. About pumping
Septic inspections for Matthews home sales
If you’re buying a Matthews home on septic, get the system inspected during due diligence. The NC Real Estate Commission also tells buyers to check that the septic permit’s bedroom count matches the house. A four-bedroom house on a three-bedroom permit is a problem. We inspect under NC license #9407I and explain what we find in plain language. Tell us your closing date when you call. Septic inspections
Repairs and replacements
We fix damaged lines, baffles and pumps, and we deal with failing drain fields. A lot of our repair calls are systems someone else installed or already tried to fix. Replacements are quoted per site. Repairs | New systems
If your system has a pump and pressure lines (LPP), drip tubing or a treatment unit, the state requires a maintenance contract with a certified operator. Ask about subsurface maintenance.

Matthews septic permits and records go through Mecklenburg County Public Health, Groundwater and Wastewater Services (980-314-1680, eh.mecknc.gov/water).

Questions people ask
Is my Matthews home on septic or sewer?
Check your water bill for a sewer charge. No sewer charge, or a private well, usually means septic. Mecklenburg County can pull the septic permit for your address.
I’m buying a Matthews house on septic. What should I check?
Have the system inspected during due diligence, and make sure the permit’s bedroom count matches the house.
What does a septic inspection cover?
North Carolina’s point-of-sale inspection rule lists the items, including the tank’s condition, baffles, liquid level, how much solids have built up, any pump tank and alarm, and whether effluent is reaching the drain field.
How often should a Matthews home pump its tank?
Every 3 to 5 years for most homes; sooner with a big household or heavy water use.
What does a septic inspection or pump-out cost in Matthews?
It depends on the system and the access. Request a quote and we’ll give you a price.
What if my Matthews system fails after hours?
Call, text or email. We respond based on how urgent it is.
