Septi-Safe™ Service Plans

Septi-Safe™

Septi-Safe™ is the second tier of service plans that we offer to onsite wastewater disposal system owners. On this page, you will find an example of the standard Septi-Safe™ agreement that would be included with our service contract, if a client chose the Septi-Safe™ level of service.

Septi-Safe™ offers essentially the same coverage as the Septi-Check™ agreement, but Septi-Safe™ includes tank pumping and cleaning as part of the agreement.

If you would like more information on the Septi-Check™ level of service, please visit our "Septi-Check™" page. Our Septi-Safe™ attachments are essentially the same as our Septi-Check™ agreements. However, our Septi-Safe™ agreements include pumping and cleaning of your septic tank(s) and/or pump chamber(s), within normal usage limits. Unfortunately, our Septi-Safe™ agreements are currently only available in Prince William, Fairfax and Loudoun counties.
