NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Michimich -- Homeowners across South Lyon are urged to stay proactive when it comes to septic system maintenance, as routine tank pumping will prevent emergencies but also reveal hidden issues that require professional repair.

A typical pumping service involves inspecting for sludge buildup and damage, pumping out waste with a vacuum truck, rinsing the tank, and performing a final inspection. This thorough process is essential for maintaining system efficiency and longevity. Read more about the step-by-step process here.

But sometimes, septic pumping uncovers more serious issues. "If we find signs of cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed lines during a pumping job, we always recommend that the homeowner contact specialists for septic line repair for your South Lyon (https://www.lachancebrothers.com/learn/more/wha...) home right away," says John LaChance of LaChance Brothers Excavating.
