Septic Service in Boise

Lift stations are essential to functional waste management systems. A lift station is a mechanism of pumps that allows water to be carried from a place of low elevation to a place of higher elevation. Ideally sewage lines work together with the land gradient in your area to allow gravity to do most of the work in carrying sewage, waste, and storm water from place to place.

When the ground freezes,  it is difficult to dig into the ground to treat your septic tank. So have your septic tank looked at before the cold of winter sets in! 2) Holiday Overload - The winter months bring joyful holidays full of family, friends, and plenty of guests.
