It is essential that sewage treatment plants are properly serviced and maintained, in order to ensure continuous function and minimal downtime. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your treatment plant will help to eliminate any potential complications within the system. We advise you contact Shreks Septic Services to empty your treatment plant at regular intervals, in order to dispose of solid waste that naturally accumulates over a period of time.

Should you start noticing issues with drainage, you may have a blockage or a build-up of sludge inside your treatment plant that will require service. A foul odour surrounding your business or government property may signify the system is running poorly. Any sort of fungus presence or build-up is an absolute indication that there is a maintenance issue requiring immediate attention.
