Frequently asked in Fresno

The solids settle to the bottom, while the liquids are then sent to a drain field for further treatment. This process is key to preventing environmental contamination.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

The cost for a new septic tank system in Fresno can vary considerably. Factors influencing price include the tank's size, the type of system installed, and the site's preparation needs. Excavation and specific soil characteristics also play a role. We can provide a free, accurate quote for your property.

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With consistent maintenance, a septic tank system can last between 20 to 30 years. Some systems may even last longer. Regular pumping and avoiding the disposal of non-biodegradable items are critical. If your system is aging, a professional assessment is recommended.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

In the Fresno area, septic tanks typically need to be pumped every 3 to 5 years. This can vary based on the tank size and the number of people in your household. Frequent use means more frequent pumping is necessary to avoid backups. It's a vital maintenance task.
