What maintenance does my septic system need?
To maintain optimal functionality, your septic system should undergo yearly inspections and be pumped every two to five years. Our "Forget About It!" program simplifies this process by automatically scheduling service reminders, so you can rest assured that your system is in good hands.
What does a septic tank pumping do?
Septic tank pumping involves the removal of waste, scum, and sludge buildup from your tank, allowing it to operate as intended and preventing potential issues down the line.
What access do you need to my septic tank?
If you're aware of the location of your septic tank lids, we kindly request that you notify us and, if possible, expose the lids prior to our arrival. In cases where the tank's location is unknown, our team will assist in locating it and keep the information on file for future reference.
How often do I need to clean my septic tank?
Yearly inspections of both the septic tank and drain field are recommended by the Ministry of the Environment and other experts to prevent costly repairs. Additionally, experts advise pumping the tank every 2-5 years, although frequency may vary based on tank size and household wastewater demands.
