How often should I pump?

Most Milltown, NJ households benefit from 2-4 year intervals, adjusted for occupancy, fixtures, and garbage disposal use.

Do additives replace pumping?

Bio-boosts help flow, but only mechanical pumping removes sludge and scum.

Can I landscape over the field?

Choose shallow-rooted plants and avoid trees or heavy beds; compaction and roots are the enemy of percolation.

What if I smell odors?

Odors signal vent, filter, or overload issues; call us for diagnostics before odors become overflows.

Why camera inspections?

Cameras reveal cracks, roots, and misalignments invisible from the surface, saving you from guess-and-spend repairs.

Is bleach safe?

Use septic-friendly cleaners and keep harsh chemicals minimal to protect your tank biology.
