Septic System Services for Residential and Commercial Properties
30% of rural and semi-urban Floridians use septic systems for wastewater treatment and disposal in the absence of a connection to the public sewer system. These septic systems should be properly installed and regularly maintained. Damaged septic tanks will cause the groundwater to be contaminated with disease-causing germs from untreated sewage. Leaking septic systems will result in the release of a foul odor on your property, ultimately devaluing it. Untreated sewage may seep into nearby lakes and streams, negatively impacting recreation, local tourism and the quality of life.
Every 4 to 5 years, pumpouts and filter cleanings are required to remove the built-up sludge. You’ll need to call a state-licensed septage disposal service to do this for you. Drain fields need to be repaired regularly. If you put these maintenance and repair tasks off for later, you will end up paying thousands of dollars to have the septic systems replaced. Floridians have to pay careful attention to how they use their water and what they pour down the drains. Remember: what goes down the drain doesn’t just disappear! They leave a mark somewhere, from your sink to the sea — it is all connected.

FAQs
1. What is a septic system, and how does it work?
A septic system is a sewage treatment and disposal system used in Florida on properties without access to municipal sewers. It comprises a septic tank that separates solid waste from liquid effluents and a drainfield where the liquid effluent is naturally filtered through the soil.
2. Why is a septic tank necessary for my property?
Septic tanks safely process household wastewater and sewage. They prevent groundwater and soil contamination and comply with Florida’s health regulations.
3. How long does a septic tank last?
With proper maintenance, a septic tank can last between 20 to 40 years. Regular inspections and avoiding non-biodegradable waste can extend its lifespan.
4. What is a drainfield, and why is it important?
The drainfield, or leach field, is the final treatment stage in a septic system. It disperses effluent from the septic tank into the soil, where it's naturally filtered. A properly functioning drainfield is crucial for preventing groundwater contamination.
5. How often should I pump my septic tank?
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recommends pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and prevent system failures.
