Owning a Florida home with a septic system comes with its own set of rules. The same goes for installing them. With part of the filtration relying on natural processes, septic systems require help from their surrounding environment to thrive and efficiently treat wastewater. Once pushed through your tank, wastewater enters the drain field (or leach field) for its final treatment.

Signs and Causes of Septic Leaks

We've heard clients repeatedly say, "But, I didn't know" and "How are you suppose to know?" when we are over for a septic repair. And those are fair responses!

But if you purchase an older home or aren't following the golden "Do Not Flush" rules, you may find yourself playing with a ticking time bomb.

What’s Up With Your Septic Pump?

We have said it once, and we will say it again: your septic system has a dirty job. A dirty job that requires all the different components to work together – efficiently — for your septic to properly treat the waste and waster water from your home or business. If one of those parts isn't functioning well, it could spell trouble for your system. While many of us think of the two significant septic components, the septic tank, and drain field, we don't often think about the septic pump that connects them. What Does Your Septic [...]

It's the end of August in Florida. That means hot weather, afternoon storms, and hurricane season.

It may sound crazy, but plumbing fixtures and appliances play a significant role in the health of your septic system.
