Commercial Septic Pumping and Repair
project overview
A local business was dealing with a drain line that had slowed to the point it was affecting daily operations, and they could not afford to close for a day to sort it out. We scheduled the work outside their busiest hours, pumped and tested the tank first to rule out a full tank as the cause, then located and cleared the blockage in the line. With the system open we checked the baffles and the outlet, took sludge readings to establish a real service interval for their usage, and repaired the section of line that had caused the trouble. Commercial systems see heavier and less predictable loads than a house does, so we set them up on a scheduled service plan rather than leaving it to somebody to remember.
Project Objectives
Keep the business running with minimal downtime and stop the problem recurring.
- Work around operating hours rather than through them
- Pump and test the system to identify the real cause
- Locate and repair the slow line rather than guessing at it
- Establish a service interval based on actual usage
- Set a maintenance schedule so it does not repeat
