SepTek is a local, family-owned operated company that has been providing the much-needed quality septic installations and maintenance to the residents of Franklin, OH, for over 20 years. A good septic company is reliable, trustworthy, and proficient. An excellent septic company arrives at your property within the hour for emergencies and teaches you how to maintain the system yourself. SepTek just so happens to be the excellent septic service company that you've been looking for. Many Franklin residents don't have the option to hook up a sewage line and allow the municipality to handle disrepair.
There are countless videos on the Internet demonstrating how the average homeowner can install a leach field system. You can certainly spend a few days and rent heavy-duty equipment to get the job done, but we wouldn't recommend it. Mostly due to the fact that it is illegal to do it yourself! It's not that we don't want you to be self-sufficient, it's the fact that your septic system is vital, and if anything goes wrong, the after-effects are very serious. Contracting a reputable and qualified septic company like SepTek ensures that no mistakes are made, and the job is done right the first time.
Septic tank installations are simple yet labor-intensive processes. If not installed correctly, it can be seriously detrimental to your household and the environment. Incorrect installs are expensive and time consuming to fix. Your system must also pass inspection. SepTek installations always pass inspections on the first try. We've been in business for over 20 years. We know all the inspectors and what they look for. Our installers know the laws governing septic installations and maintenance like the backs of their hands.
Since 2015, the state of Ohio has made it mandatory for all residents to have proof that their tank is under a maintenance program. This regulation can mean two things: #1 that you have a contracted septic service provider who conducts consistent maintenance or #2 that you have been trained to perform the maintenance yourself. This proof can come in the form of a scheduled service maintenance contract, a ledger detailing maintenance, or a class certificate of completion. According to the law, an inspector can arrive at your property at any given moment to inspect the condition and health of your septic system.
To keep your septic system in tip-top shape, the grease trap should be cleaned periodically. Your grease trap does just as the name implies. It traps grease, oils, animal fats, and sludge. If you operate a home catering business in which a lot of oily waste is discarded, you will need to have the grease trap cleaned more often than the average homeowner. Preparing fried foods requires a lot of oil. If you cook a lot of fried foods on a daily basis, the grease trap is being used more frequently and should therefore need more maintenance.
When your septic tank needs repair, it is not a small problem. You may be experiencing a slow drainage issue, or you could have toxic sewage backing up. Waste that has not decomposed must be removed. If not, it can become detrimental for the environment, may clog your leach field piping, and decrease soil porosity. Reptiles, birds, and insects are at risk from malfunctioning septic systems. If you value your environment and are conscious of your environmental footprint, addressing your septic tank needs is of the utmost priority.
