 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bonzo Septic Repair was fantastic. They responded to my inquiry right away. They were able to come out as soon as possible after our septic alarm went off. They figured out the issue immediately and talked to the septic officer in our township to get approval for work to be done. After the septic officer deemed our tank not up to code, I was given an estimate immediately and they started work the next non-rainy day. Overall they did a great job, explained everything they were doing, and were efficient. I highly recommend them!

They came out over the weekend to troubleshoot an issue with our septic pump and got us set up with a temporary solution to keep everything running. They were back Monday morning and completely resolved the issue. Very professional, responsive, and did great work. Really appreciate them going above and beyond. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about this septic company and especially the owner Zach! They became truly involved in helping my seller navigate a difficult septic situation. When other companies were not able to help, they took the time to find a solution for this complicated situation during their busiest time of the year. They were responsive, helpful, quick, and incredibly solution-oriented. Highly recommended!
And also, thank you to Priority Crane Rentals too for stepping in and helping with this challenging situation! It took the right people working together and we truly appreciate everyone who went the extra mile to help! 🏡

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bonzo Septic Repair and his team did excellent work at installing a new septic tank at my house. He had to use a huge crane to lift the tanks over the house. It was exciting to see.
Zac and his team were friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
It was a pleasure doing business with him and his wife Stephanie.
I would definitely recommend his services in the future.
Thank you so very much for an amazing job.

Septic Service FAQs

Are permits required for septic work in this area?

Yes. Township and county approvals are typically required before work begins.

What septic system types are common locally?

Mound, at-grade, and advanced treatment systems are frequently used due to soil and drainage conditions.

How often should I pump my septic tank in Gibsonia, PA?

Most residential septic tanks in Gibsonia should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, though the right frequency depends on household size and tank capacity.

Pennsylvania’s DEP recommends pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years as a general guideline, but the actual interval for your Gibsonia property depends on several factors specific to your home and system:

Household size more occupants means more solids entering the tank and a faster buildup rate
Tank capacity smaller tanks fill faster and require more frequent pumping than larger ones
Garbage disposal use disposals add significant organic load and can shorten intervals to every 2–3 years
System age and condition: Older systems or those that have missed pump-outs may need more attention early on
System type advanced treatment systems like Eco Flow or drip irrigation often have stricter maintenance schedules

Skipping pump-outs is one of the most common causes of drain field failure in Gibsonia and surrounding areas. When a tank goes too long without pumping, solids overflow into the drain field, clogging the soil and causing a failure that costs far more to fix than routine maintenance would have. If you’re unsure when your tank was last pumped, a sewer camera inspection and tank locating service is the fastest way to assess your current situation.

What should I do if my septic system backs up in Gibsonia?

Stop using water in the home immediately and call a licensed septic professional right away. Do not attempt to open or inspect the tank yourself.

A septic backup is one of the most urgent situations a homeowner can face. Sewage in your home is a direct health hazard, and the longer water continues to enter the system, the greater the risk of permanent drain field damage. Here is what to do immediately:

Stop using all water in the home no flushing, no running sinks, no laundry or dishwasher
Keep people and pets away from any wet or odorous areas in the yard near the tank or drain field
Do not attempt to open the septic tank lid yourself gases inside are toxic and potentially fatal
Do not use chemical drain cleaners, they can damage system components and kill the beneficial bacteria your system relies on
Call a licensed septic professional for emergency service, Bonzo Septic.

Does Gibsonia require a septic inspection when buying or selling a home?

Pennsylvania does not mandate a statewide pre-sale septic inspection, but buyers, lenders, and local municipalities commonly require one, and it is strongly advisable for any property in Gibsonia with an on-lot system.
