About this service

Modern plastic septic tanks are made from durable, lightweight polyethylene. They are a popular choice because they are resistant to corrosion and easier to install than older concrete models. You might choose a plastic tank if you are replacing a failing system or building on a lot with difficult soil conditions. Because they are lighter, proper installation is critical to ensure they don't shift underground over time. We can help you determine if a plastic model is the right fit for your property.

Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.

Frequently asked in Albuquerque

How does a septic tank work in Albuquerque?

In Albuquerque, a septic tank acts as a primary treatment facility for household wastewater. Solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria within the tank help break down some of these solids. The liquid effluent then flows out to a drain field, where it's further treated by the soil before returning to the environment. This process prevents direct discharge of untreated waste.

What septic solutions are available in Albuquerque?

What are the different types of septic systems?

Common septic systems in Albuquerque include conventional gravity systems, which rely on natural slope for effluent distribution. Aerobic treatment units (ATUs) use oxygen to enhance wastewater treatment. Drip distribution systems are useful for challenging soil conditions. Pressure-distribution systems help dose effluent evenly across the drain field. A professional can determine the best type for your property.
