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.

What should I look for during a septic inspection?
During a septic inspection, a specialist checks the tank's condition, including looking for cracks or leaks. They'll also inspect the sludge and scum levels inside the tank to see if pumping is needed. The drain field is examined for signs of failure, such as soggy areas or lush green grass.

What are the advantages of a concrete septic tank?
Concrete septic tanks are known for their durability and longevity when properly installed and maintained. They are resistant to corrosion and can withstand various soil conditions. The weight of concrete also helps keep the tank stable in areas with a high water table. While other materials exist, concrete offers a robust and long-lasting solution for many Palm Bay homeowners. Regular inspections are still key to ensuring its optimal performance.
