Septic Tank Maintenance Services


Regular maintenance is essential to prevent failures, backups, and costly repairs. Our maintenance services include scheduled inspections, sludge and scum removal, and system performance evaluations. Proper maintenance protects the drainfield, ensures efficient wastewater treatment, and extends the lifespan of the septic system. Southern Sanitary Systems works with clients to establish ongoing maintenance schedules, helping property owners avoid emergencies and maintain compliance with environmental regulations.

Septic Tank Pumping


Routine septic tank pumping is a key component of system health. Over time, solids accumulate in the tank, which can lead to clogs, odors, and drainfield damage if not removed. Our team provides scheduled pumping, emergency pump-outs, and both residential and commercial services. By maintaining regular pumping intervals, we help prevent system failures, protect your property, and ensure that wastewater is properly treated and disposed of.

Drainfield and System Optimization
