Septic Pumping

Soutwick Sewer and Drain

Southwick Sewer and Drain encourages all home owners to  remember that preventive maintenance is the best way to keep your septic system working properly.  It is recommended that you have your system pumped every two to five years, depending on family size and usage.

One critical consideration for choosing a pumper is service.  During the pumping of your system, we also service your system. 

  • Wastewater is pumped through the manhole or access port so that it can be sufficiently cleaned and any problems detected.
  • During the pumping process, wastewater is backflushed into the tank to loosen up materials and then pumped again.  This ensures completely pumping all waste from the tank. 
  • Baffles and tees are inspected to ensure they are in place, in good working condition, and unobstructed.
  • Septage is disposed according to local codes and requirements.
  • While servicing your system we will look for signs of failure or any other potential problems.
  • Pumping a septic system.
