What Makes Septic Service Eco-Friendly?

Speedy Septic is committed to incorporating green practices into our everyday operations. Here are a few of our eco-friendly practices we commit to with our residential septic services:

  • Utilizing natural, soil-based septic wastewater treatment.
  • Steering clear of harsh chemicals when performing septic maintenance.
  • Powering our fleet of service vehicles with sustainable, naturally-derived fuel.
  • Remaining conscious of the local environment when installing, repairing, and maintaining septic tanks and drain fields.

Sustainable Septic System Installation: Advanced Filtration & Technologies

Our sustainable septic services begin with the installation of your system. Choosing an environmentally friendly septic service means utilizing specialized pipes and bio-accelerator fabrics to increase surface area and encourage beneficial bacteria growth. By incorporating natural processes, cultivating naturally occurring bacteria, and green filtration systems, eco-friendly septic systems effectively break down wastewater and organic matter, reducing harmful pollutants often released by aging septic systems.

Septic Pumping With More Responsible Waste Processing

Speedy Septic is committed to incorporating green practices into our everyday operations. Traditionally, when a septic tank is pumped, the waste is taken to a waste treatment plant by your septic pumping company, where it is treated and dumped into a landfill.

When Speedy Septic pumps your septic tank, we take the waste to a specialized treatment plant that safely transforms it into an eco-friendly fertilizer for local farms.

How Routine Septic Maintenance Helps Protect Your Property

The best way to deal with unexpected repairs and emergency septic pumping is to prevent these issues in the first place. That’s why we offer rigorous septic maintenance, helping homeowners get proactive about septic system care and ensuring a malfunction doesn’t lead to hazardous, sewage-related health issues or damage to your local environment.

Benefits of Choosing an Environmentally Friendly Septic Company

Investing in an eco-friendly septic system not only benefits the environment but can also save you money. Some of the benefits of choosing eco-friendly septic services near you include:

Reduced environmental impact
Eco-friendly septic systems utilize processes that minimize water usage, decrease pollution, and protect local ecosystems, preserving our natural resources. They often use sustainable materials such as coco husk fibers for filtration, further reducing the environmental impact.
Enhanced water quality
These systems use advanced filtration and treatment methods, ensuring the wastewater released into the soil is cleaner and less harmful to the environment and local water supply.
Cost savings
These systems use less energy, require less maintenance, and have longer lifespans, saving you money in the long term. They are also more compact and can be installed in 8-12 hours, whereas traditional septic systems can take up to a week to install, reducing installation costs.
Easy installation
Eco-friendly septic systems are often more compact than other septic systems. Their small size allows for easy and fast installation, even in areas with challenging or uneven landscapes where traditional septic systems might not be a viable option.

What Happens During an Eco-Friendly Septic Service Visit?

When you work with our team for eco-friendly septic inspection services or for a routine maintenance appointment, you can expect a technician equipped with all the tools and components needed to get your system running optimally. We inspect the entire system, checking for obvious issues as well as any early warning signs. From here, we’ll advise you on the repairs, upgrades, or maintenance you need, and with your go-ahead, we can usually complete these vital services in just a few hours.

Same-Day and Emergency Septic Services When Available

Renewable Diesel and Lower-Impact Septic Fleet Practices

Speedy Septic has taken a stride towards environmental responsibility by adopting renewable diesel as the primary fuel source for our service fleet. Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ (R99 diesel) is our preferred sustainable fuel source, providing both environmental benefits and uncompromised performance. Opting for renewable diesel not only minimizes harmful emissions but also actively supports the growth of the biofuel sector, paving the way for a cleaner and more eco-friendly future.
