A septic tank is an underground chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic that is used to store and treat sewage and wastewater from a property that is not connected to a public sewer system.

The frequency of septic tank cleaning depends on various factors, such as the tank size, household size, and water usage. In general, it is recommended to have a septic tank pumped and cleaned every 3 to 5 years.

Septic tank installation is a complex process that requires expertise and adherence to local regulations. Hire our professionals at Mountain Septic Service to ensure proper installation and compliance with local codes.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact Mountain Septic Service for an inspection and necessary repairs.
