A consumer's home is their most valuable investment and SSS, LLC helps to protect it. Their customer's sewer, drain and septic systems are just as important as their electrical, heating, cooling and security systems. Most consumers are not aware of the need to have their septic systems serviced every 3 years to maintain the health of the system. Many consumers forget they even have a septic system or are under the false belief that once installed, a septic tank is set for life. They assume their septic tank is a bottomless pit or they can use additives to maintain their septic system. These assumptions are both false, since septic tanks are finite in size and can only hold so much septic waste. Also, with all the cleaning products and medications consumers use today, it throws off the natural eco-system for a healthy tank. The only solution to maintaining a healthy system is regular pumping of the tank, usually every 3 years. Most consumers wait until there are problems, like sink or toilets backing up, before calling for septic service. The problem with this, is by then it is an emergency and it could be too late. This mistreatment of the septic system can often lead to failed leach lines,ending up costing them thousands to upwards of tens of thousands of dollars.
