Septic Tank Services in Akron & Northeast Ohio
If you’re part of the quarter of Americans who live with a septic tank, it’s essential to provide proper maintenance for the system. Septic systems work by bringing wastewater into the tank through the top. Inside the tank, solid waste gradually moves to the bottom. Excess liquid exits to a drain field where it decomposes anaerobically. As you can imagine, any issues with your septic tank can lead to extremely unpleasant outcomes. Superior Drainage has the equipment and know-how to keep your septic tank doing its job and fix any problems as they arise.
