The importance of having a good installation of your septic system is monumental since it can make your system last longer and have a lower risk of failure.

We can help you choose what size and type of on-site septic system to install on your property. There are many rules and regulations on septic systems, depending on your county, and we can help you make sure your septic tank installation meets all codes and is done right. At Affordable Septic, we take the guess work out of OSS installation. Our goal is to make it simple and stress-free for you.

We can also help with fixing drain clogs in your kitchen and bathrooms to get your home running smoothly in no time.


septic pumping & cleaning

Do you know how frequently your tank needs to be pumped? It’s highly recommended that every 3 to 5 years, your tank should be pumped by a professional. There are some systems that need to be pumped and inspected much sooner than that – depending on your usage and local conditions – so make sure your system is being pumped accordingly. If you don’t have the system pumped routinely, you will end up with clogged drains, system backup and damaged property. Regular pumping ensures that solids will not flow from the septic tank into the drainfield. Solids can destroy the drainfield, and once a drainfield has failed, pumping will not bring it back to life.

At Affordable Septic, our technicians are knowledgeable about septic tanks and we make pumping and cleaning your tank easy. One of our trucks and our technicians will come to your home and locate the tank, inspect it, and clean and pump the tank properly. We offer fast and reliable service to take the chore out of septic system cleaning and leave your home, and septic tank good as new.


Septic tank & drainfield locating

It is very important to know where your septic tank and drainfield are located so that you can avoid damaging it. It’s important not to drive over your OSS, park on it, build or plant on it. It’s also a good idea to know where your drainfield is located because you can watch for signs of OSS failure such as soggy grass or surfacing sewage.

Affordable Septic can help with locating your tank and making sure everything is working properly. Whether you schedule an inspection or pumping, our technicians will first locate your tank and give you detailed descriptions to help you in the future. Even if your system doesn’t need any maintenance, our team will come out and quickly locate your tank for you before you begin expanding your deck or adding on that new addition.
