Lack of Septic Pumping leads to Septic System Failure

Lack of Septic Pumping leads to Septic System Failure

Comments 5 comments

This septic emergency was because of lack of maintenance. This client was under the impression that you never need to pump the septic system, unless it’s giving you trouble.  He adds septic tank additives every months.  It’s never giving him a problem before.
