Keep Your Septic System Healthy with a Monthly Septic Additive!
Not only is a septic system additive part of a smart septic maintenance plan, it offers a variety of benefits that can save you money in the long run! From keeping your tank healthier, to preventing backups and more, we recommend Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant to each of our customers. This additive contains the right kind of bacteria to help restore balance and keep your tank functioning properly. If your septic system has a history of backups or problems, an additive can help keep things flushing smoothly. By regulating your tank’s bacteria levels, additives break down solids and waste so your tank drains properly and is easy to pump every 2-4 years.
Make Sure Your Tank is Emptied Every 2-4 Years
Regular septic pumping can keep your tank and drain field working properly by eliminating solids and sludge that can buildup over time. Routine maintenance is also the best way to detect a future issue like a deteriorating cement tank, broken lateral lines or damage to your drain field. When our crew comes to pump your tank we'll perform a routine inspection to make sure your tank, inlet and outlets and baffles are in good condition, along with your drain field and its components. If we notice anything out of the ordinary we can alert you to any additional maintenance needed.
