Septic Tank Cleaning
Understanding Your Septic System
Septic tank cleaning is an essential maintenance task that involves removing accumulated waste from your septic tank. Over time, your tank develops two distinct layers: a heavy sludge layer at the bottom and a lighter scum layer of oils and grease on top. Regular cleaning prevents these layers from causing backups, overflows, or costly system failures.
