How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
You should pump your septic tank every 3 to 5 years depending on its use, size and number of people in the house. If your tank gets too full, particles of scum and sludge will flush out of the tank. This material will cause the material to clog and the system to fail.
What is the difference between a standard septic system and an alternative septic system?
A standard system is its own on-site treatment system that holds back the solids and lets effluent flow through a leach field. An alternative system has multiple ways to treat the water to make it cleaner for distribution and multiple distribution methods for flood plain areas, clay type soils, and rock along with multiple ways for pressure distribution for better quality water.
Should I add additives to my septic tank?
You do not need to. Most additives do not provide any treatment and some may actually harm the system.
How do I conserve water?
You can conserve water by fixing leaks and drips, replacing your old fixtures with “low flow” types. This will extend the life to your system and allows your septic tank to digest and separate incoming materials.
How can I provide good water quality to my tank?
Limit your use of the garbage disposal, put fats and oils in the trash, refrain from flushing paper towels, cigarette butts, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins. Also, use normal amounts of cleaners and detergents. This will decrease the amount of solids that enter into the tank which decreases the capacity and shortens the time in between pumpings.
“Awesome service! I was strung along for over 6 weeks by another septic service company in Flagstaff, with several promised but unreturned phone calls and a no-show site visit. I called this company and they were on site within four hours! Professional, friendly and incredibly timely. Highly recommended!”
“AZ Alternative Septic helped us resolve a very stressful situation when our septic system needed repair and the company that installed it would not even respond to our calls. They are one of the most professional companies I’ve worked with in the Flagstaff area. On top of that, they were nice to work with and their charges were very reasonable. I’d use them again and recommend them without hesitation. Unreserved 5 stars!”
