Need septic pumping in New Paris? Start with the property address and what you know. You can request routine service even if you don’t know the tank size, lid location, or last pumping date.
New Paris sits near Dunning Creek and the Chestnut Ridge area, where many properties are spread across rolling or steeper terrain. That does not automatically mean a septic problem — it simply makes access information more useful when arranging pumping.
Tell the provider about steep driveways, tight turns, gates, or a tank set away from the main parking area. If the system is showing symptoms, describe them clearly so the visit is not based on a guess.
Having a backup right now? Reduce unnecessary water use and call (814) 979-8426. Explain exactly what is happening — pumping may be part of the answer, but a backup can have more than one cause.
New Paris includes compact borough properties along with more rural homes throughout Napier Township. Start with the service address and share whatever you know about the septic system. If there is a narrow or steep driveway, gate, soft yard, or tank behind the house, mention it if it is easy to describe. If you are unsure where the lid is or when the tank was last pumped, that is okay too. Smith’s can begin with the information you have rather than expecting you to know every detail about the system.
Start with the New Paris service address. If you know when the tank was last pumped or where the tank or lid is located, include it. If you do not know, that should not stop you from requesting service.
Mention anything that could affect truck access, such as a gate, steep or narrow driveway, soft ground, parked equipment, or a long distance from the driveway to the tank.
If you are noticing slow drains, odors, standing water, or a backup, describe what is happening. Those symptoms can have more than one cause, so it is better to explain the problem than assume pumping alone will fix it.
Local offices, service boundaries, and requirements can change. If a permit or municipal rule matters to your project, confirm it with the appropriate local office.
Most providers recommend residential pumping every 3–5 years, depending on household size and water use. Your tank size and service history can change that interval.
That is common. Send the New Paris address and say that you are not sure where the tank or lid is located. The provider can tell you what information will help next.

Call (814) 979-8426 and explain what is happening. A backup can have more than one cause, so describe the situation rather than assuming pumping alone will solve it.
