Septic Service

Thornton’s Plumbing offers the following services to help maintain and clean your septic tank:

A septic tank system requires prudent usage and maintenance to ensure best performance. Keep in mind:

The tank should be inspected every year and cleaned out every 3-5 years. Solids need to be removed before they build to the point they pass out of the tank into the soil absorption network. This will clog the soil and result in failure of the system. To avoid costly repairs and keep your system working properly, we can inspect the system and clean/pump when necessary.
Only household waste and toilet tissue should be disposed of in the septic tank system. Kitchen greases should never be put in the system.
Leaks in plumbing fixtures or toilets should be repaired in a timely manner to prevent complete saturation and failure of the absorption field.
Heavy vehicles should not be allowed over the septic system. Excessive compaction and structural damage to the septic tank and absorption field may result.

If you have questions about maintaining or repairing your septic system, give us a call at 910-219-3872. We’re here to help.
