“Septic tanks” are what home owners or home buyers think of when buying or maintaining a home with a private residential septic system in Central Florida. But we should be thinking about the whole septic system – since the drain field or leach field makes up half of a typical septic system cost. Septic tank care and septic tank cleaning need to be done on a regular frequency (we provide a septic tank pumping schedule table) in order to avoid ruining the drainfield.
