  1. 1

    The house

    Every drain in the house runs out one sewer line. A clog here looks like a septic problem but isn’t.

  2. 2

    The tank

    Scum floats, sludge sinks, the clearer water moves on. Pumping takes out what bacteria can’t.

  3. 3

    The lateral field

    Perforated pipe in gravel trenches lets the water soak into the soil, which finishes the cleaning.

  4. 4

    The truck

    Pumps through the main lid. Risers to grade make the next visit quicker.

  5. 5

    Clay over limestone

    Kansas clay swells wet and cracks dry; east toward the Flint Hills, rock and flint come up close.

About Mosley

A pump-out, mile by mile

What happens when the truck shows up.

Routine or emergency, the visit goes the same way.

(316) 777-4000
  1. Mile 1

    Call

    Tell us the town, the problem and, if you know, where the lids are. If sewage is backing up, say so first.

  2. Mile 2

    Find the lid

    No risers? We locate the tank and dig to the main lid. Mark it afterward so the next pump-out is quicker.

  3. Mile 3

    Pump it empty

    Through the main manhole, never the small inspection ports, mixing the sludge so it all comes out.

  4. Mile 4

    Look and explain

    Tees, tank walls, the liquid level and what it says about the field, in plain words.

  5. Mile 5

    Close it up

    Lid secured, yard left clean, and an honest answer on when to pump next.

When to call

Six signs your septic wants attention.

  • 01

    A rotten-egg smell

    A sulfur smell from the drains, stronger out in the yard near the tank.

  • 02

    Slow drains

    Sinks, tubs and toilets that drain slowly all over the house, not just one fixture.

  • 03

    Water pooling in the yard

    Soggy ground or standing water over the tank or the field, even in dry weather.

  • 04

    Sewage backing up

    Water coming up in a floor drain, tub or the lowest toilet. Stop using water and call.

  • 05

    Gurgling pipes

    Bubbling and gurgling after you flush or the washer drains.

  • 06

    Grass that’s too green

    A strip of lawn over the tank or field that grows greener and faster than the rest.

Never enter a septic tank or lean into an open one. Septic gases and low oxygen can kill in minutes, rescuers included. Keep lids secured and children and pets away.

Fast, friendly, straightforward.

Google reviews, quoted word for word. Mosley holds a 4.9 average across 465 Google reviews (June 2026).

“Absolutely the best septic service around! Mosley Septic truly lives up to their slogan: “No flush, don’t fuss—call us!” From the moment I called, they were fast, friendly, and incredibly professional. They showed up within 30 minutes, which honestly blew me away. My sewer line was completely clogged with roots, and they ran a 100-foot auger to clear everything out quickly and efficiently. They knew exactly what they were doing and explained things clearly along the way. …”

John K.Google review · Jan 2026 · excerpt

“I have had a wonderful experience with this company. Everywhere from calling the very nice lady who is very informational on the phone to the young gentleman that came and pumped my system. They were very honest and straightforward with me and I appreciated every minute of it. The price was phenomenal it was only $250. We had our entire septic tank pumped out.”

Terry E.Google review · Jan 2026

“Mosley Septic was amazing! They were fast in getting to my backed up septic tank at 8 pm. They came first thing in the morning to checked if anything was still clogged or if pipes needed to be snaked. I appreciated their professionalism, promptness, honesty, kindness and a job well done!”

Local knowledge

Field or lagoon? The soil decides.

Around Wichita, sandy river ground can take a lateral field; heavy clay usually gets a lagoon. Both start with a septic tank, and both need it pumped.

Septic tank + lateral field. Water soaks into the soil through gravel trenches. Needs soil that takes water: in Sedgwick County, a percolation rate of 0–60 minutes per inch.
Septic tank + lagoon. Water goes to a fenced pond where sun and wind treat it. Fits heavy clay; in unincorporated Sedgwick County it needs at least five acres.

Straight answers

Septic questions, answered.

How often should I pump my septic tank in Kansas?

Every one to three years for most households, depending on how many people live in the house. That’s Mosley’s rule of thumb, and it matches K-State’s pumping table.

What are the signs my septic system needs service?

A rotten-egg smell, slow drains all over the house, gurgling pipes, water pooling over the tank or field, a strip of grass that’s greener than the rest, and sewage backing up. Those are the six signs Mosley lists.

Lagoon or septic field: what’s the difference?

Both start with a septic tank. With a septic field (lateral field), the water from the tank soaks into the soil through buried perforated pipe. With a lagoon, it flows into a shallow fenced pond where sun and wind treat it.

Who regulates septic systems in Kansas?

Counties, mostly. KDHE sets the state’s minimum design standards (Bulletin 4-2), and counties adopt sanitary codes that permit, inspect and license the work. Around Wichita that’s Sedgwick County’s MABCD and Butler County under its sanitary code.

What shouldn’t go down the drain on a septic system?

Grease and cooking oil, coffee grounds and eggshells, wipes and tissues, cat litter, feminine products and condoms, paint, solvents, pesticides and harsh chemicals. That’s close to the list Sedgwick County publishes.

How do I check a septic contractor in Kansas?

Ask the county. In Kansas, onsite wastewater installers are licensed at the county level under county sanitary codes, so call MABCD in Sedgwick County ((316) 660-1840) or Butler County to confirm an installer’s license.
