Our Septic Services & Solutions

We offer a comprehensive menu of septic system services to keep your system functioning efficiently:

1. Septic Tank Cleaning & Pumping

Regular tank cleaning (typically every 3–5 years) removes accumulated sludge and scum before blockages or drain field backup occur.

Before buying or selling a property, or when you suspect trouble, we perform a full system inspection — checking tank integrity, pipe condition, drain field health, flow rates, and more.

4. Septic System Installation

Preventative Tips for Septic System Longevity

Maintain your septic system and avoid emergencies by following these best practices:

  • Don’t flush coffee grounds, baby wipes, cigarette butts, cat litter, or grease/fats/oil.
  • Monitor water usage — excessive flow stresses your system.
  • Schedule regular septic inspections and pumping before issues arise.
  • Avoid driving heavy vehicles over your septic tank or drain field.
  • Plant trees and shrubs away from your drain field to prevent root intrusion.

With preventative care, your septic system can last several decades.
