Septic or sewer trouble? Take a breath first
Your toilet gurgles. The shower drains slowly. There is a swampy patch in the yard that was dry last week. If this is your first septic or sewer problem, stay calm. It is common, and it can be fixed.
Myflafamily Septic is a referral service. We connect homeowners in Irving, TX and the Irving area with independent local providers who handle septic tank pumping, septic system repair and sewer line repair. The providers do the work. We help you reach the right one.
Here is a safe first move. Stop running water you do not need. Pause the laundry and the dishwasher, and keep showers short. Every gallon goes into a tank or pipe that may already be full or blocked. Keep kids and pets away from wet, smelly ground.
Next, request an estimate. Tell us what you see and hear. A provider in our network can follow up, ask a few questions and explain what comes next.

How it works
A plain-English go-between
Myflafamily Septic is for the homeowner who just learned what a septic tank is, usually at a bad moment. We are a referral service. You tell us what is going on, and we point you to an independent provider in our network who works in Irving and the Irving area.
What the providers handle
- Septic tank pumping: emptying the tank so solids stop pushing into the pipes and drainfield.
- Septic system repair: fixing baffles, pumps, lids, leaking lines and drainfield repair needs.
- Sewer line repair: finding and fixing cracked, rooted or collapsed pipes between the house and the tank or main.
Some providers also offer emergency septic cleaning when a tank is overflowing. Some can talk about water well service if your home has a private well. Ask when they follow up.
How a request goes
1. Send the request form with a few details: what you see, smell or hear. 2. A provider in our network reviews it and follows up. 3. They explain what they think is happening and what a fix may involve. 4. You get a written quote. You decide. There is no obligation.
What Myflafamily Septic does not do
We do not dig, pump, haul or repair anything. We do not set prices. The provider you choose sets the scope and the price, and you agree to that directly with them. Ask questions before you say yes.
Why use a referral
Searching late at night with a backed-up toilet is no fun. A referral cuts the guessing and starts you with a provider who works on systems like yours.
Homes we help across Irving
Septic and sewer systems vary a lot from house to house. Myflafamily Septic connects homeowners in Irving, TX and across the Irving area with providers who know how local homes are built and how local weather treats them.
Many homes here are slab-on-grade ranches with brick or vinyl siding. On a slab, the sewer pipe runs under the floor, so a problem can be hard to spot until a drain backs up. Some older homes sit on pier-and-beam foundations. Pipes there are easier to see, but they can sag, crack or leak under the house.
The weather matters too. Heavy downpours and tropical storm season can saturate the ground around a drainfield. When the soil is already full of water, a tank that is nearly full has nowhere to send its liquid. Hot, humid summers speed up roots hunting for moisture, and roots love sewer joints.
Whatever your house looks like, the first step is the same. Share what you notice and where. Then a provider can say whether they serve your street and what they would check first.

Simple septic know-how every new homeowner needs
Find your tank before you need it
Look at your closing papers, a property survey or the county permit file for a sketch. Probe gently with a thin rod once you have a rough spot. Knowing where the lids sit saves time when a provider arrives.
Spot the early warning signs
Slow drains, gurgles, sewer smells indoors, and lush green grass over one patch of yard are all hints. Do not wait for a full backup. Early action is usually simpler.
What you can safely do yourself
Spread out laundry loads. Fix dripping faucets and running toilets. Keep grease, wipes and paper towels out of drains. Clear brush from the lids so they are easy to reach.
Where to stop
Never open a tank lid yourself. Gases inside are dangerous. Skip store-bought drain chemicals on a septic system, since they can upset the tank. Leave digging near pipes to a provider.
Know your pumping rhythm
Most household tanks need pumping every three to five years, depending on tank size and how many people live in the home. A provider can tell you what fits your system.
Protect the drainfield
Keep cars and heavy equipment off it. Point roof gutters and downspouts away from it. During storm season, go easy on water use when the ground is soggy.
If you have a private well
Septic and well often go together. Ask a provider about water well service, and keep the two areas in mind when you plan any digging or repairs.
Before you approve work
Get a written quote. Ask what is included, what could change the price, and how long the job may take. Check your policy too, since some policies may cover sudden damage.
