Frequently asked in Mesa

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is the primary component of an on-site sewage facility. It receives all wastewater from your home, such as from toilets, sinks, and showers. Within the tank, solids settle to the bottom, forming sludge, while lighter materials like grease rise to the top as scum. The clarified liquid effluent then flows into a drain field for further treatment before being absorbed into the ground.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With proper maintenance, a septic tank can last for many years, typically 20 to 30 years or even longer. Regular pumping and avoiding the disposal of harmful substances are key to extending its lifespan. Neglecting these simple steps can significantly shorten how long your system works effectively. The pros can offer advice for your Mesa home.
