Septic Tank Maintenance in the Portland Area

Your septic system can often be one of the most expensive components of your house. Replacement costs often range from $5,000-$25,000 and for this very reason, Speedy Septic Service places the utmost importance on their Septic Tank Maintenance Program.

The frequency and type of maintenance your septic system requires is determined by the complexity of your system. Basic systems, that are gravity fed, need a lower level of maintenance. These systems need to be checked on and/or pumped once every couple of years. More complex systems, such as sand filter systems, and alternative treatment technology systems, need to have maintenance preformed up to twice per year.

A septic system is a living, growing entity. As you use your drains and flush your toilets, you are depositing organic material in both your tank and your drain field. This material builds up over a period of time and needs to be cleaned and removed. For a customized maintenance program for your system please contact us at 503-822-6008.
