Forty years ago, finding a septic tank company was sometimes quite the pain. Before the internet, finding companies often meant either getting personal referrals, say from neighbors, or digging through a phone book. If a new septic tank company wasn’t in the phone book yet, you might never find them even if they were offering the best prices and services.

Now, you can find practically any company simply by using Google. Many septic companies have websites that list not just their phone number and email but the services they offer and sometimes prices, too. This can make the whole research process much easier. For many customers, this means they can more easily find a good deal.

Many septic serving companies can also communicate with clients via text or email. This can make the whole relationship much easier to manage. Scheduling software also makes it easier for companies to track appointments and ensure that they have the labor power and tools needed to get the job done.

Septic tanks have been quite reliable for a long time. Regardless, the modern septic tank systems used today often beat out their predecessors. The risk of leaks, faulty sensors, backflow, and everything else is less today with modern septic equipment. Sand filter systems, pod systems, and other modern equipment have proven to be a blessing for both families and septic pumping companies. These days, gravelless septic systems have been replacing gravel systems, which have been popular since 1990, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

In some cases, modern systems may require more of an investment upfront. However, they often last much longer. Modern systems are also less likely to cause contamination issues, protecting your health and the environment. Pumping equipment has also improved, and it’s now possible to pump tanks more quickly with less risk of leaks and other issues.

These were just a few ways septic companies have changed over the years. Are you looking for a reliable septic company to take care of your septic repairs and maintenance?
