Frequently asked in Mesa

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank serves as the primary treatment unit for wastewater in homes and businesses in Mesa that aren't linked to the city sewer lines. It receives all household sewage, allowing solids to settle as sludge and lighter materials like grease to float. Bacteria within the tank begin to break down some of the organic waste. The liquid effluent then moves to a drain field for further treatment and absorption into the soil, preventing contamination.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With regular pumping and proper maintenance, septic tanks can function effectively for 20 to 30 years or more in the Mesa area. However, neglecting pumping allows solids to accumulate and can lead to premature system failure and costly repairs or replacement. Consistent upkeep is the most effective way to extend the lifespan of your septic system.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

In Mesa, it's generally recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. This frequency can vary based on the tank's capacity and the number of occupants in the household. Homes with more residents or smaller tanks will likely require more frequent pumping to prevent solids from accumulating and potentially damaging the system.
