About this service

Treatments usually involve adding biological additives or enzymes to the tank to help break down organic waste more efficiently. While some homeowners use these as a preventive measure, they do not replace the need for regular pumping. If your system is frequently backing up, a professional can determine if a treatment is useful or if you have a mechanical issue. Costs vary by product type. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

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.

How does a septic tank work?

A septic tank functions as the primary treatment stage for household wastewater. Solids settle to the bottom as sludge, while lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria within the tank begin to break down some of the organic matter. The partially clarified liquid then flows to a drain field, where it is further purified by the soil. We can help you maintain yours.
