Aerobic treatment unit service

Many aerobic systems need a maintenance contract and regular service visits under local rules; the visit covers what your permit requires.

What this covers

Service and repair of aerobic treatment units: aerators, alarms, chlorinators and spray or drip heads.

Do this first

• Cut water use: spread out laundry, showers and the dishwasher.
• Keep people, pets and vehicles off wet spots and away from any sewage.
• Never enter or lean into a septic tank: the gases inside can be deadly.
• Note when the tank was last pumped and where the lids are, if you know.
