FAQs for Buffalo County SD

How often should I pump?

We set your interval after measuring levels and usage, not guesswork.

Do additives replace pumping?

Additives are companions, not substitutes.

Can I landscape over the field?

Native grasses win; trees and sheds do not.

What if I smell odors?

Smells are alerts, not mysteries; diagnostics are quick.

Why camera inspections?

Seeing inside beats guessing every time.

Is bleach safe?

Light use is fine; heavy bleach shocks harm microbes and slow treatment.

What about heavy rain?

Direct gutters away, reduce indoor water spikes, and schedule checkups if fields stay wet.

Can I DIY?

You can monitor usage and odors, but pumping and camera work need pros with gear and disposal permits.

How do you price?

You see the plan, approve it, and get exactly what was promised.
