Professional Septic Services For Your Home

A malfunctioning septic system or one in disrepair will lower your property value and potentially pose a costly legal liability. It's why property owners turn to us to maintain their systems. Performing regularly scheduled maintenance is a bargain compared to the cost of repairing or replacing a malfunctioning system.

Household wastewater contains disease-causing bacteria and viruses with high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. If a septic system is well-maintained and working properly, it will remove most of these pollutants. Insufficiently treated sewage can cause groundwater contamination, which can spread disease in humans and animals.

Signs of a failing septic system: wastewater backing up into drains, bright green spongy grass on the drain field, pooling water around the septic system, or a strong odor near the tank and drain field.

How Do Septic Systems Work?

Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment structures commonly used in rural areas without access to municipal sewer facilities. A typical system consists of a septic tank and a leach field or soil absorption field.

The conventional septic tank digests organic matter and separates floating material from the wastewater. The liquid (effluent) is then discharged into perforated pipes buried in a leach field, slowly releasing into the soil.

More than four billion gallons of wastewater are dispersed below ground every day. Ground water contaminated by poorly treated household wastewater poses serious dangers to drinking water and the environment.
