Service guy talking Septic Tank Issues!
We’re ready for Christmas!!
What can bust a sewer line under ground?
Here’s some photos of a sewer line job that we did a while back! A driveway had caused the old lines to bust, so we replaced new lines!
A look inside!
Happy Thursday!! The first picture is a sewer ejector pump that lasted the homeowner 8 years. The second one is the completion of an installation of the new pump!

What is included in the cost for septic service?!
Before & After Grease Trap Cleaning
Taking a break from septic systems this week to offer some insight into grease traps. It is required that grease traps are maintained and serviced regularly. If you are in need of this service, we’d love to be your company. Here’s a before and after of a 100 gallon indoor grease trap that we cleaned!
Concrete does deteriorate!
This is a photo of a PVC Tee we had to put in to replace a concrete Tee that had fell off. It was letting trash out of the tank and into a pump vault and burning up pumps. This is one example of why it is important to pump and inspect concrete tanks. They do deteriorate over time, some faster than others depending on the type of chemicals, starches, and free fatty acids. As always, if you are unsure about the health of your septic system or know you haven’t had your’s pumped in 3-5 years, give us a call!

Septic Inspection?
The definition of Inspection: Careful examination.
We had a call last week from a homeowner in the process of selling their house. They were asking for a second opinion septic inspection. The previous company failed the inspection saying they needed a whole new system. We went out to the home and found that the tank is 4 feet deep and had never been dug up. How do you do an inspection without physically seeing the interior of the tank?
Attached are 2 pictures of before and after a full septic inspection. Notice the shovel sticking in the crust due to the thickness of sludge from the tank not being serviced every 3 years. You see the inlet tee stopped up in the before photo but once cleaned you see the flow of water running into the tank as the homeowner is using it.
