Septic Tanks
Moving away from Septic Tanks
Moving away from septic can seem like a daunting task. We understand this, which is why we take great care in every project we do. We can help guide you through the process to make sure your move from septic is easy and code compliant.
Septic tanks and sewer lines have the same job, but function differently. They both move wastewater away from your home.
Septic tanks are underground and hold the wastewater and matter until it breaks down and is released into the drain field.
Sewer lines move the wastewater and matter through pipes to a local facility where it breaks down. Here, the uncontaminated water goes back into the local water supply.
Why to move away from septic tanks
While septic tanks have some pros, it is now more common to have sewer lines instead.
Septic tanks require you to pay more attention to what you are flushing. For example, things like grease and larger items or tissues cause pipe clogging, so it is advised not to flush these. However, with sewer lines, the flow and pressure are efficient and not as sensitive, so you can worry less about what goes down the drain.

Septic tanks require regular maintenance. Without regular maintenance, you could have more clogs or septic backups in your yard. Sewer lines do not require much maintenance by homeowners. The local sewer facility takes care of most of the maintenance work for your sewer lines.
Sewer lines are typically more eco friendly than septic tanks. They are more closely monitored so that waste does not go into any sewer or water sources it is not supposed to.

Great Service
Great service! Will was the best! Would recommend to anyone. Hard to find a great plumber. Was referred by a local restaurant and they were convinced I wouldn’t regret calling Betros. Glad I did!

Yesterday Betros completed a very complicated multi-day job on our 70+ year old family beach house. They worked really hard, and expertly handled each of the many curve balls this old house threw at them. They were all really nice people too, and that does make a difference. Great Job, highly recommend.

Courteous and professional
Middle of the night… I had a plumbing emergency, and they answered promptly. Thankfully, I knew how to shut off the water, but they were there to help with that, assess the urgency, and coordinate with the on call. Within 5 minutes I had a callback from an actual plumber, and he was able to arrive within an hour. He was efficient in fixing the issue in less than the quoted time, all the while courteous and professional as I, the worried homeowner, peppered him with questions. Excellent, expert service!

Excellent Commercial Company
We had a plumbing issue during business hours. They initially quoted an 1.5 hour estimated arrival time, then called back and quoted half and hour……and they were here in 20 mins. They were quick, clean and efficient. Our service guy Shaun was professional and even followed up with us the next business day. We will definitely use them in the future.
