Spanish Springs grew fast, and a lot of it grew on septic. Thousands of homes in the central valley still run on individual tanks and drainfields, and the county has spent years planning to move many of them to sewer.
If your Spanish Springs home is on septic, we'll get a licensed, state-permitted pumper to your property with the price agreed up front. Pump-outs, inspections for home sales, alarm calls, risers, and drainfield repair.
