We give the best Services

Septic tank cleaning is an essential service that helps to maintain the health and efficiency of your septic system. A septic tank is a large underground container that collects and treats wastewater from your home. It relies on natural bacteria to break down the solid waste and kill harmful pathogens. However, over time, the bacteria can be weakened or killed by harsh chemicals, excessive water, or non-biodegradable materials. This can cause the septic tank to overflow, clog, or emit foul odors

Septic tank cleaning should be done every three to five years, depending on the size of the tank, the number of people using it, and the amount of water and waste generated. It is advisable to hire a professional septic tank cleaner who has the necessary equipment and expertise to perform the job safely and efficiently.

Process of Cleaning

 A septic tank cleaning typically involves the following steps:

Locating and accessing the septic tank using a soil probe and a shovel
Pumping out the contents of the tank using a septic pump and a tanker truck
Inspecting the tank for any cracks, leaks, or damage
Flushing the tank with water to remove any remaining solids
Raking the soil around the tank to level it
Installing risers on the tank lids for easier access in the future (optional).
Sewage tank pumping by truck

Why should we clean septic tank regularly?

Septic tank cleaning is a necessary and beneficial practice that can extend the lifespan of the septic system, improve its performance, and protect the environment and public health. It can also save money and hassle in the long run by preventing costly repairs or replacements.

Therefore, septic tank owners should be aware of the signs and symptoms of a full or failing septic tank, such as slow drains, sewage backups, foul odors, or wet spots in the yard, and schedule a septic tank cleaning as soon as possible
