Sparks proper is sewered, but it borders some of the largest septic areas in Washoe County: Spanish Springs, Palomino Valley, and the Pyramid Highway corridor.
If your Sparks 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.
