Have you recently become in charge of the facilities or maintenance for a commercial building? Chances are you are likely using a commercial septic system if this building is located outside of the city plumbing system. A commercial septic system is similar to a residential septic system, with a few important differences.
With a commercial septic system, there is typically a greater volume of waste being processed each day, so your system needs to be equipped for more usage. That also means you may need more specialized maintenance.
- Choose an experienced, specialized septic company – Choosing the right company to handle the maintenance of your commercial septic system can make a big difference. At American Waste Septic, we have been in the septic business for 30 years. We have worked with many commercial systems and we have the manpower, knowledge, and experience needed to handle the maintenance of septic systems of any size.
- Get frequent septic pumping – A residential septic system can often go a few years between pumping. However, depending on the amount of waste your commercial septic system is processing and how many tanks you have, you may need your tanks pumped more frequently. Our team can get you on a schedule that adequately meets the needs of your system. This will help you avoid costly and messy repairs.
- Keep a record of maintenance and septic issues – If you are not the only one overseeing the system, it is helpful to have notes regarding work that has been done. Documentation also allows you to see trends that could signal you may need a system upgrade.
