About this service

Septic treatments are additives designed to introduce beneficial bacteria or enzymes to your tank, helping to break down organic waste. While they don't replace the need for routine pumping, some homeowners use them to keep the biological balance healthy, especially if they use heavy amounts of household cleaners. You might consider these if your system is older or heavily used. Regular pumping remains the gold standard, but high-quality additives can sometimes provide an extra layer of support for your system's natural processes.

Fall is an ideal time for septic maintenance before the ground hardens. Clearing your tank now ensures that you start the holiday season without worrying about plumbing issues. A quick inspection can identify any buildup or potential clogs before they turn into an emergency when you are hosting friends and family.

Frequently asked in Bakersfield

What should I look for in a septic tank installation company in Bakersfield?
How are septic fields repaired?
What does a septic tank pro do?

A septic tank pro is a specialist trained to handle all aspects of septic systems. This includes inspections, installations, repairs, and regular maintenance like pumping. They understand how the system works, from the tank to the drain field. They know how to identify problems and offer effective solutions. You can call us to get an estimate from a qualified septic tank pro for your Bakersfield home.

What's the average cost to install a septic tank?
Are concrete septic tanks a good choice?

Concrete septic tanks are a popular choice due to their durability and longevity. They are strong and resistant to damage from soil and ground pressure. Concrete is also a non-porous material, which helps prevent leaks. The pros we work with can discuss whether a concrete tank is the right fit for your specific installation needs in Bakersfield. They’ll provide a quote for the materials and labor involved.

How often should a septic tank be cleaned?

Septic tank cleaning, or pumping, is crucial for maintaining system health. It's generally recommended to have your tank pumped every 3-5 years. However, this frequency can change based on your household's water usage and the tank's size. Regular pumping prevents solids from building up and entering the drain field. Call us to schedule a cleaning with a septic service pro.

What goes into septic installation?

Septic installation involves several key steps. First, a site evaluation determines the best location and size for the tank and leach field. Then, excavation occurs for the tank and the drain field trenches. The tank is set in place and connected to your home's plumbing. The drain field pipes are laid and covered with gravel and soil. Finally, the system is inspected and backfilled. We can help you get a quote for this process.
