3 Reasons Routine Septic Tank Pumping
Is Vital For Your East Bay Area Home

Routine septic tank pumping is necessary to protect the overall health of the system. Here are three reasons you don’t want to skip this essential maintenance step…

Strong Odors

When your septic tank isn’t maintained properly, it can produce strong odors. These unpleasant smells are typically caused by a buildup of waste and improper drainage, which can be alleviated with septic tank pumping.

Backed-Up System

Without regular pumping, solid waste and sludge will build up inside your septic tank. Over time, this results in back-ups in the system. Sewage could overflow onto your property or even into your home.

Environmental Contamination

If a septic tank were to back up and overflow into the surrounding environment, it could cause severe contamination. This would affect the groundwater and soil. It could also potentially affect surface water sources.

Hear It Straight From Our Satisfied East Bay Area
Orenco AdvanTex Septic System Customers

“Avalon Services is our go-to company for all plumbing-related issues. Will and his crew came through for us when our water main broke recently and he has also worked on our water heater and external hose bib in the past. We called them frantically in the morning and they were out the same afternoon to determine what the problem was. Within 24 hours, they had us back up and running! They had to dig about 120 feet of trench (through poison oak and underbrush on a hillside) from the meter to the house and suggested adding a spigot at the halfway point in the line to make it easier for us to water the garden. Thanks again, Avalon! You guys are the best!”

Ula P.

“Will was highly responsive, and he and his team quickly found and repaired a leak in our sewage line that had been causing significant problems. Courteous and professional. Highly recommend.”

Louis A.

“Will and his team did an excellent job replacing the ~100-year-old, ~100ft-long sewer line at our home. The project was quite large, requiring permits from the city and digging into the street. Will pulled all the needed permits, worked through all the inspections, and did a good job keeping the street open for the neighbors during the project. The pipe replacement work was of top-notch quality; they pressure-tested all the replaced pipes and did nice concrete work on the areas that had to be trenched. The line replacement comes with a 10-year warranty, too!”
