About this service
Above ground septic tanks, or mound systems, are often used in areas where the soil is not suitable for traditional underground drainage. These systems rely on pumps to move effluent into an elevated area where it can be properly filtered by the soil. Because they involve mechanical pumps and specific site conditions, they require specialized maintenance to prevent overflow. If you operate an elevated system, regular checks are essential. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer is a peak time for household water usage, especially with guests visiting. Extra laundry, frequent showers, and outdoor water use can stress an older system. If you have a busy house this season, keeping an eye on your drain speeds helps ensure everything keeps flowing smoothly throughout the warm months.
