Maintenance Program for Engineered Systems

We offer a maintenance program to owners of engineered septic systems, consisting of the following maintenance items, performed twice a year, approximately 6 months apart:

  • Perform field section rotation by switching valves or surge tank riser plugs.

  • Inspect field for balanced distribution of effluent to all field sections.

  • If necessary, reduce flow to wet or damp sections.

  • Check proper setting of alarm float switch and operation of alarm system.

  • Check proper setting of pump float switch and operation of pump.

  • Check condition of electrical wiring junctions at tank.

  • Check solids accumulation in tank(s) and tank condition

The cost of this maintenance program is $100.00 annually, payable in advance before inception of the service, and on the anniversary date thereafter.  This fee covers the cost of setting up a separate file for your system, obtaining system design information from the engineer and the As-Built drawing from the installer or health department, as well as keeping a record of the semiannual visits.

We will furnish you a written report at the time of the visit, either by leaving at the house or by mail, fax or e­mail, as you choose.  The report will show the results of the inspection, what was performed and will list any items that may need repair, along with the estimated cost.
