A holding tank has nowhere to send wastewater, so it has to be emptied on time, every time. Stewart Septic Services keeps holding tanks across Middle Georgia from overflowing.
A holding tank works differently from a standard septic tank. Instead of sending treated liquid out to a drain field, it stores all of the wastewater until it's pumped. That means it fills up much faster and has to be emptied on a regular basis — there's no drain field to buy you time.
Stewart Septic Services provides holding tank pumping for homes, businesses and job sites across Macon and Middle Georgia. We can set up a regular pumping schedule, respond when your high-level alarm goes off and check that the alarm and level controls are working.
Because a full holding tank can't wait, we also answer emergency calls 24/7.
Holding tanks are used where a conventional drain field isn't possible or practical.
Properties where soil, space or water table conditions rule out a drain field.
Commercial sites that need a temporary or permanent wastewater solution.
Construction sites and temporary offices that need on-site wastewater storage.
Cabins and part-time properties with limited, occasional use.
Because a holding tank stores everything that goes down the drain, it can fill in a matter of weeks depending on its size and how much water is used. Missing a pump-out means the tank can back up into the building or overflow outside.
Most holding tanks have a high-level alarm that warns you when the tank is getting full. If that alarm isn't working, you may not know there's a problem until it's too late. We check alarms and floats as part of our service.
A regular schedule takes the stress out of owning a holding tank. You'll know when we're coming, and you won't have to watch the alarm panel.
Holding tank service from Stewart Septic Services includes:
It depends on the size of the tank and how much water goes into it. Some tanks need pumping every few weeks, others less often. We'll help you set a schedule that keeps it from ever getting too full.
A septic tank separates solids and sends liquid to a drain field. A holding tank has no drain field and stores all wastewater until it's pumped, so it fills much faster.
