Septic Care & Maintenance

If you have a heavily used septic system your tank may require more frequent pumping. It is much cheaper to maintain your septic system than it is to repair or replace it due to poor maintenance.

Before you call us it is recommended that you know the size of your tank and where it is located. If you are unsure of the location you may contact your local health department. They will likely have a map of your system and additional information that will be useful.

Where Is Your Septic Tank?

If your tank covers are buried you should uncover them prior to any company coming out to service your system. Be sure to have both covers accessible for pumping.

All conventional septic systems have a septic tank, which is usually a large buried rectangular or cylindrical container made of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene. Wastewater from all plumbing fixtures drains into the septic tank. Heavy solids settle to the bottom where bacterial action produces digested sludge and gases. Lighter solids that float such as grease, oils and fats, rise to the top and form a scum layer.
