Septic Pumping and Maintenance Tips, Milton, GA

We pumped out this septic tank through the riser in Milton. With the riser, there was no digging involved on this job.

Regular septic pumping is one of the best ways to maintain the system. Be sure to schedule your service every 2-3 years.

Other ways to extend the life of the system include checking for leaks in and around your home, keeping drains free of grease, and avoiding parking and driving vehicles and heavy machinery over the drainfield. Also, conserving water is a big septic-safety tip. Ways to save water include taking shorter showers, running the washing machine only for full loads, installing sensors on irrigation systems, and avoiding overwatering the lawn during peak times.
