Stoney Road Septic

Your septic tank has two baffles, an inlet, and an outlet. The inlet baffle is connected to the pipe entering the tank from your home. This points the entering liquid downward to not disturb the scum layer at the top of the tank. The outlet baffle, the most important, is attached to the pipe leaving the tank going to the leach field it keeps solids from leaving the tank and entering the field. Which can cause clogs and destruction of the leach bed.

An outlet baffle filter is an added layer or protection to keep unwanted sludge from entering your leach field. It is located on the outlet baffle of your septic tank. These filters should be cleaned at least twice a year to prevent them from clogging and causing sewage to back up in the house.

We have a couple of different ways to help locate your tank. We can flush a transmitter and locate it with a handheld locator, or we can use a probe to poke down into the ground. Sometimes it’s as simple as a change in the landscape, greener grass, or an indent in a yard. Our drivers have years of experience and can assist you in locating your tank.

We offer riser installation, so you won’t have to dig it up again! We have plastic risers and covers for low-traffic areas and concrete risers and covers for driveways.

Rule of thumb for an event lasting 3-6 hours 1 portable restroom will properly accommodate 50 people. If the event is longer or lasts multiple days, we recommend discussing your needs with the office to decide on the number of restrooms or a mid-event cleaning schedule.

If you are renting for an event, your rental fee covers delivery and set up, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and the removal. If you are renting long term, your monthly rental rate covers 1x weekly service, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer restocking as needed.

We ask that you not move a portable restroom after it has been placed by the driver. If there is a problem with the location, please contact the office and we will address the issue.

We can pump out recreational vehicles under specific conditions. All pumping must occur when a porta-potty truck is in the area cleaning a porta-potty route. The black and grey water valves MUST be easily accessible, we need to be able to get the truck within 20 feet of the valves. The valves must be in working order so we can properly attach the hose to them. All of this can be confirmed with the office before scheduling a service.

Regular pumping prevents sludge buildup, protects the leach field, and avoids costly repairs by maintaining tank capacity and preventing scum from entering the leach field.

Typically, septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years, but heavy use may require pumping every 1-2 years, while light-use locations can go longer between maintenance.
