Switching from a Septic System to Sewer Mains?
It is a requirement by the Health Department that once sewer becomes available to your property you will be required to connect to it, therefore leaving the Septic System unusable. The septic tanks will need to be pumped out by a licensed waste disposal company, then the bottom of the Septic Tanks broken. They will then be filled with clean sand to the top. This will prevent it being used in the future and any liquid that does enter the tank can be drained through the base.

The Leech Drains will need to be removed in its entirety and back-filled with clean sand. If they cannot be removed then they too will require pumping and to be broken with clean sand filled inside the Leech Drains.

​We have the experience and the know-how to make your transition to sewer seamless and uncomplicated.
