Local detail matters

Willard is about 9.7 miles northwest of our Springfield shop, and we come in on US 160, the stretch that carries the local name Olympian Boulevard. The town has close to doubled since 2000, from 3,193 people to 6,344 at the 2020 census, so we pump older tanks around the original town as well as newer systems in the subdivisions that went in during that growth. About 4.5% of the area is still rural, and that is where we see acreage systems with a long pull from the drive back to the tank.

What we find on Willard septic systems

Most Willard homes we pump run a 1,000 or 1,250 gallon tank on a gravity drain field. While the tank is open we check sludge depth and both baffles, since a broken outlet baffle sends solids to the drain field. On older places the lids are often buried 6 to 18 inches under sod, so we dig by hand and can set risers to make the next visit simpler. If the drive is long or the ground is soft after spring rain, we pull hose rather than cut ruts in your yard.

Septic FAQs for Willard, MO

We just moved into a newer place in Willard. When does the tank need pumping?

Age of the house does not stop solids from building. A family of four is generally on a three to five year cycle, shorter with a garbage disposal or heavy laundry, longer for two people. If the tank has never been opened we measure sludge and scum depth on the first visit and give you a real interval instead of a guess. Call (417) 423-7281 to get on the schedule.
