Whether you need service for your septic system or you are looking for reliable installation of a new or replacement system, the professionals at Watson’s should be your first call. Our staff members are trained in the very latest technology for maintenance and septic system installation.

 

System Installation

Your landscape and soil quality will dictate the type of system most appropriate for your property.

We use state of the art technology and the very best products for all installations, whether conventional, aerobic or low dose. Our technicians use high-end equipment to best address the conditions of your property and landscape and will work with your county health department regarding the need for excess mounding to allow for settling of your system.

At Watson’s we can also work with you to improve an undersized system. Ask our technicians about our process to install an extended or modified leachfield if your septic system is inadequate for your family. We may also be able to divert greywater (water from your kitchen and laundry) to other areas of your landscape. These processes can be economical solutions to a system which may otherwise be overworked and need replacing early.

Septic System Maintenance

The average septic system properly maintained will last a maximum of 20 years. At Watson’s we understand that replacing a septic system can be an expensive and inconvenient project, so you will want to the get that maximum 20 years of life from yours. Addressing repairs quickly is one way to lengthen the life of your septic system, but regular care is even more important. For the best septic system maintenance you will want to consult the experts at Watson’s.

Depending on the size of your system and the habits of your family, your septic tank should be pumped once every two years or at least every three years. If your system serves a larger family, you may need your tank pumped annually. Our friendly staff can help you determine which maintenance plan works best for your family and can arrange a schedule for regular pumping and cleaning of your septic system. Our crew uses the latest equipment and follows all EPA and local health requirements in pumping and disposal of waste.

We encourage a regular maintenance plan to extend the life of your septic system. Our technicians will keep a record of your system and identify potential problems or leaks so that you can address them before they affect the operation of your system.

In addition to your maintenance plan, take care of your septic system by using septic safe detergents, and avoid flushing cigarette butts and other items that do not break down. Never drive heavy equipment over the septic tank or lateral field, as they can cause damage to the system. Do not use chemical additives or add bacterial products to your system unless advised by a professional. They can disrupt the natural decomposition process.
