  • The team was simply incredible. Did exactly what they needed to do. They were on time and efficient. When we discovered that the drain field needed repair, they did it right on the spot. John, Bailey, Fabian and Eric worked non stop and when all was set and done, I got an improved system, more accessible and everything was clean. They re routed sprinkler lines and placed the grass back. I will recommend them without hesitation.!

  • Excellent customer service on the phone and on the field. They came out the same day I called and got the job done within an hour. I got my septic pumped, washed, sand removed, and concrete repaired. I believe the price was very fair, especially for the efficient work. This was my second time using A Alligator and it won’t be my last.

Dania Beach Septic Tank Pumping & Cleaning

While modernization has touched many areas of the Dania Beach, FL, a portion of the neighborhoods located South of the Hollywood International Airport continue to operate with traditional septic systems. These communities, maintaining a harmonious charm and modern living, have entrusted their septic services to Alligator Septic. If your septic tank needs pumping and cleaning, be sure to give us a call! We have over 35 years of experience pumping and repairing septic tanks in Dania and know these older systems better than anyone.

Septic tank pumping and cleaning is a dirty job, but it's an essential part of maintaining your septic system. Without regular pumping and cleaning, your septic system can become clogged with waste material that isn't being properly processed. This can lead to issues like backups, overflows, and costly repairs.

To start the septic tank pumping and cleaning process, we first need to locate your septic tank. In Dania beach the sandy soils usually make finding the septic tank a quick process. This is usually done by locating the septic tank lid with a probe. If your tank is under a patio or walkway we use a camera and digital locator. We'll start by digging a hole to expose the top of the septic tank. Then, we lift the lid usually concrete, plastic or a metal manhole.

Once we have access to your septic tank, we will stick a shovel in it to check the sludge level and make sure no sand has made its way in from an improperly sealed lid. We hook up a vacuum hose from our truck and begin vacuuming out all the waste and any small debris from your tank. Once the liquid is removed, any sludge or debris that remains in the bottom needs to be pressure washed to be broken down and be removed.

Removing sand or sludge taking up tank capacity is very important. Sludge that is left in the tank will creep out and clog the drain field.

Although it may seem like a dirty and complicated process, septic tank pumping and cleaning is an important part of maintaining your septic system. If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to contact us today! We've been in the septic industry for over 35 years and would be happy to help you with all your septic needs.

How a Dania Beach, FL Septic System Works

If you're like most people, you probably don't think about your septic system until something goes wrong. And when something does go wrong - it's usually a big problem! A septic system is a lot like a vehicle. It needs to be properly maintained in order to function correctly. If you're curious about how your septic system works, keep reading.

At the heart of every septic system is the septic tank. When you flush your toilet, water from your home flows into the septic tank through a series of plumbing pipes. The septic tank acts as a holding area for all of this wastewater. It separates solid waste materials, or solids, from liquid wastewater.

As wastewater flows through the septic tank, bacteria work to break down any solids that are present. Next, the wastewater flows into a drainfield. The wastewater seeps through layers of soil and sand in the drainfield, allowing beneficial bacteria to break down any remaining solids. Over time, this natural filtration process removes harmful contaminants from the water and leaves behind clean, or liquids.The drainfield is a network of pipes and gravel trenches that help to filter out impurities before the water is released back into the ground.

To keep your septic system functioning properly, it is important to have it regularly inspected and pumped. This helps to prevent clogs and backups, which can cause serious damage to your home or septic system.

So if you're interested in learning more about septic systems and how they work, be sure to keep this information in mind! With regular maintenance and care, your septic system can provide years of reliable service.
