  • Septic Repair
    Certified and experienced repair services. We repair or install "anything" Septic.
  • Septic Intallation
    Septic systems are used when sewage treatment plants are not accessible, which usually means rural or suburban homes on large lots. It can take several days to a week or more to install/replace a septic system. The process involves extensive digging, often with heavy earth-moving equipment. Installing/replacing a conventional septic system (including the tank) averages $3,000 -$12,000 or more in some cases.
  • Septic Maintenance
    Proper septic maintenance will ensure the best efficiency and a long life for your septic system. Make sure to call Working Dog to have your maintenance done before trouble starts and costs you a fortune. See tips on maintaining your septic system. more
  • Septic Tank Pumping
    A septic tank generally consists of a tank (or sometimes more than one tank) of between 1,000 and 2,000 gallons.
  • Pump Station Service
    Residential basement sewage ejector pumps to commercial pump stations.
  • Sewer Jetting
    Sewer jetting is the process of using high pressure and water to bring a sewer drain line back to like-new condition without having to actually replace the line. This is very cost-effective practice especially for cleaning drains that are heavily used, even for grease. (You aren't supposed to be dumping that down there in the first place!)
  • Sewer Thawing
    Frozen and backed-up sewer lines.
  • Conventional Mound Systems
    Installation and repair of mound systems. Depending on the cost of sand and the amount of labor involved, mound systems are usually twice the cost of a comparably sized subsurface soil absorption system. The higher cost is necessary, however, if the site or soil condition makes it impossible to use a subsurface soil absorption system. A mound system permits a home to be occupied in a rural area while still protecting the environment.
  • Portable Toilets / Restrooms

    Working Dog Portable toilets are the cleanest in the area. The portable restrooms are thoroughly scrubbed, disinfected and pick-up and delivery are prompt. more

Septic Tips

Potential Problems to look out for with your septic:

Excessive dumping of cooking oils and grease can cause the inlet drains to block. Oils and grease are often difficult to degrade and can cause odor problems and difficulties with the periodic emptying.


did you know?

The term "septic" refers to the anaerobic bacterial environment that develops in the tank and which decomposes or mineralizes the waste discharged into the tank.

Periodic preventive maintenance is required to remove the irreducible solids which settle and gradually fill the tank, reducing its efficiency. In most jurisdictions this maintenance is required by law, yet often not enforced.

Those who ignore the requirement will eventually be faced with extremely costly repairs when solids escape the tank and destroy the clarified liquid effluent disposal means.

A properly maintained system, on the other hand, can last for decades and possibly a lifetime. Call (888) 949-9969 to schedule your maintenance today.
