They got it all taken care of in a timely manner, even with it being way overdue and close to overflowing. The guys were very polite and informative. I would highly recommend American Waste Septic for any of your septic needs!"

FAQs About Septic Tank Draining
Septic tank draining, also known as septic tank pumping, is a crucial maintenance task that keeps your septic system running smoothly. Essentially, solid waste accumulates at the tank’s bottom, forming sludge, while lighter waste, such as oil, floats to the surface. If the tank is not drained on a regular basis, these layers might overflow and block the system, resulting in costly repairs and potential environmental risks. Over the years, our team at American Waste Septic has been asked many questions about this process, some of which are answered below.
