septic service
Empties waste tanks
Septic service refers to the maintenance and repair of septic systems—the private wastewater treatment setups common in rural areas without municipal sewers.
A septic service company pumps out tanks, inspects drain fields, and handles related plumbing: We need to call the septic service; the tank hasn't been pumped in years.
The term covers both the industry and individual service calls.
