Components of a Conventional Septic System
A conventional septic system consists of a septic tank and a leachfield or drainfield. These systems are generally used for single family homes, but some older commercial properties also utilize septic systems for onsite wastewater treatment. The wastewater from your home flows into the septic tank, where it is separated, Inside the tank, the solids form a sludge on the bottom where bacteria partially decompose the solids and the effluent, or clear wastewater, flows out of the tank.
The other component of a conventional septic system is the leachfield. The effluent is dispersed from the septic tank to the leachfield, which is an underground trench of leach rock with sand, dirt, or both on top of the leach rock. The leachfield filters the effluent and microbes in the soil below the leach rock treat the effluent. Because a leachfield takes up a significant amount of space, they are not suitable for every property.
The Importance of Septic Tank Maintenance & Repair
Septic tanks require maintenance and repairs from time to time. When the septic tank becomes clogged or needs repair, you may notice a sewage odor or wet spots on the lawn above the septic tank. It is important to call for repair for your conventional sewer system in Scottsdale at the first sign of a problem to avoid septic system failure, which can cause an unhealthy environment in your home and property damage.
We offer professional repair services for:
- The lines that carry waste from your home to the septic tank
- Baffles
- Septic tank pumping
- Unclogging or repairing pipes
- Adding risers to the system
Keeping up with regular inspections and maintenance is the best way to avoid sudden septic system failure. In most cases, a septic tank should be pumped every three to five years, but this can vary depending on the size of the tank, number of plumbing fixtures in use, and the number of people in your home. We can recommend a maintenance schedule that is best suited to your needs.
Septic System Inspections
When property with a conventional septic system in Scottsdale is sold, an inspection is required. The inspection must be conducted by a NAWT Inspector. We provide septic inspections for real estate transactions or when you suspect there may be a problem with the system. Our inspections include locating the tank, exposing, cleaning, and inspecting the inside of the tank, and all other components of the septic system.

I was having trouble with getting proper water supply to my ice maker. Two companies were unable to fix it. Macho had re-plumber my house when I first moved in, so I called Alfredo out to see it he could figure it out and in 10 minutes he had it sorted. -

Macho dudes and dudettes were incredible. Very seldom do I work with such professional, excellent communicators. They swooped in when other people were pushing us aside due to our time requirements and they provided a seamless, happy experience that could have gone in many directions. Thank you all so much! I’ll keep ya on my speed dial for any possible oh sh*t moments. -

Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain how the whole system works and why he felt this was the problem.- Adam R.
He was very kind to answer all of my questions in detail. He also took the time to assess the access into our yard and determined we could not get a drill rig in to bore a new seep pit.
He recommended that we change the system to a leach field for better operation.
I called around and got more opinions and quotes, however nobody seemed as knowledgable or trustworthy as Alfredo.
Alfredo and his team got us scheduled for the job within a few days and performed the work. His team was amazing, they are so nice and courteous. They dealt with me asking questions everyday and truly cared about making me comfortable with what they were doing. On a side note, Joel is an amazing equipment operator, he took great care when trenching to miss all of my irrigation pipes.
I will be using Alfredo and Macho Contracting for all of my plumbing needs moving forward, in fact we already have them scheduled to do an ADEQ certification on a house we are selling as Alfredo and Joel are certified NAWT/ADEQ Inspectors.
Thank you Alfredo and team, you have restored my faith in contractors! -
