How does Pine Valley's climate affect this service?
Pine Valley is 100% septic territory, the mountain community along I-8 at 3,700 ft elevation has no sewer infrastructure. Old Highway 80 corridor, Pine Valley Road, the residential parcels throughout the surrounding hills, and the cabin properties all run on private septic. Cold winter ground slows tank biology December-February; the pros we send schedule routine pumps for spring through fall.. Backcountry maintenance plans give homeowners and second-home owners peace of mind that a long-distance call doesn't escalate to a drive-the-mountain emergency.
What is included in the Tank Pro Plan?
Pumping is scheduled separately at the right interval based on your measurements, most households on the plan pump every 4 years instead of guessing.
How much money does the plan actually save?
Typical break-even is at the first avoided emergency call or the first deferred pump. Long-term, the real savings are drain field life, fields that get inspected annually last 25-35 years instead of 12-18 years.
