E Z Flush
Septic pumping and portable toilets for Santa Rosa and rural Sonoma County lots, run by Lionel Flores.
About
A tank that has not been pumped in years, a drain field that stays soggy after rain, a job site that needs portable toilets by Monday: these are the calls a company like E Z Flush takes. Lionel Flores owns the business, which works out of Millbrae Avenue on the southwest side of Santa Rosa, in the 95407 zip between Highway 12 and the Stony Point corridor. The details here come from public business records and directory listings; the owner has not yet reviewed them.
The usual reasons someone calls a septic service
Directory listings describe E Z Flush as a septic and portable sanitation contractor rather than a general plumber, though the directory files it under plumbing and heating. A septic outfit in Sonoma County usually does four things: pumps residential tanks on a three-to-five-year cycle, pumps grease interceptors for restaurants and commercial kitchens, delivers and services portable toilets for construction sites and outdoor events, and inspects tanks and lines, often with a camera, when a property changes hands or a system backs up. Some also handle sump pumps and drainage problems on rural lots.
What a pumper does not normally do is design or install a new leach field; that is engineering and permit work through Permit Sonoma, and a good pumper will tell you when you need it.
Getting a tank pumped without surprises
Before the truck comes, find your tank lid, or ask whether locating and digging to it costs extra. Ask for the price per gallon or per tank in writing, whether the fee includes the county disposal charge, and whether the driver will note the sludge and scum levels and the condition of the baffles. Sonoma County requires septage haulers to register their vehicles, so ask for the hauler registration and for proof of insurance. For portable toilets, confirm the weekly service schedule, hand-wash stations and delivery access for a truck.
Sonoma County routes
From Santa Rosa the service area runs to Rohnert Park, Cotati and Petaluma down Highway 101, west to Sebastopol, north to Windsor and Healdsburg, and over to the town of Sonoma. Rural parcels outside the city sewer lines make up most of the septic work.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessHow often should a septic tank be pumped in Sonoma County?
Most household tanks need pumping every three to five years, sooner for a large family or a small tank, and a garbage disposal shortens the interval. A pumper can tell you the sludge level and suggest a cycle for your system.
What does a septic pumping visit include?
Locating and opening the tank, pumping the contents, a quick look at the inlet and outlet baffles, and a note on anything that looks wrong. Ask whether digging to a buried lid and the county disposal fee are included in the quoted price.
Can a pumping company fix a failing drain field?
Usually not. A failing leach field needs a design and a permit through Permit Sonoma and a contractor set up for that work. A pumper can confirm the symptoms and buy time, and should refer you on rather than promise a fix.
How far ahead should I book portable toilets?
A week is enough for a construction site in most months; for a weekend event in summer or during harvest, book two to three weeks ahead and confirm the service day. Ask about hand-wash stations and an accessible unit if you need one.
