Septic Tank Cleaning

Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment structures, commonly used in areas without centralized sewer systems. They use a combination of nature and proven technology to treat wastewater from household plumbing produced by bathrooms, kitchen drains, and laundry. Like other mechanical systems in your home, they will last for years if properly maintained. Unlike those other systems, if they’re not regularly maintained, they can have a detrimental effect not just on the homeowner, but also neighbors and the environment in general. The septic tank should be inspected and pumped out by a licensed septic tank contractor approximately every three to five years. For septic tank cleaning, call Tidy Services at (540) 345-0168.
