Septic Tank Supply, Installation, Servicing & Repair

A septic tank is a type of on-site wastewater treatment system that is commonly used in rural and suburban areas where access to centralized sewer systems is not available.

A septic tank operates by separating and treating wastewater from your home or building. The wastewater flows into the tank, where the solids settle to the bottom and are broken down by bacteria. The liquid portion of the wastewater is then released into the drain field, where it is further treated and absorbed into the soil.

It is recommended that you have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people using it. Regular maintenance is important to prevent system failures and ensure that your septic tank is operating efficiently.
