Service & Maintenance

Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure your system is operating efficiently. A poorly maintained wastewater treatment plant can contribute to pollution of groundwater and waterways along with contamination of wells, streams, rivers and lakes. It could also result in your percolation or soakage area getting clogged up with sludge. This could lead to blockages and or failure of your Percolation/soakage area. To avoid this, yearly maintenance or Service contracts are recommended.

Your wastewater treatment system / septic tank is also subject to a possible inspection! Click the link below to see the details:
