About this service
The distribution box is a central part of your drain field system. It takes the liquid effluent from your septic tank and splits it evenly into the various pipes that lead to your absorption area. If your box gets damaged, cracked, or unevenly settled, water may pool in one part of your yard while other parts stay dry. If you see signs of uneven drainage, we can inspect your box to see if it needs repair or adjustment. 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 system work to treat wastewater?
A septic system in Inglewood functions by collecting all household wastewater in an underground tank. Here, solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top. Bacteria then begin to break down the waste. The liquid effluent then flows into a drain field, where it is further purified by the soil before returning to the groundwater. This natural process is essential for safe wastewater management.
What is involved in septic tank pumping?
Septic tank pumping involves using a specialized truck with a vacuum hose to remove the accumulated sludge and scum from your septic tank. This process is essential for preventing the solids from overflowing into your drain field, which can cause system failure. Regular pumping, typically every 3-5 years, is a key part of maintaining your septic system in Inglewood. Call us to schedule service.
