Septic and Holding Tanks
Residential and commercial services for conventional systems, mound systems, at-grade systems, in-ground pressure and aerobic treatment units.
We service Ozaukee County, Washington County, and parts of Southern Fond Du Lac County.
Septic systems require routine pumping every 2-3 years, or sooner if there are many occupants in a household. Unlike a public water and sewer system, septic tanks can stop working if wrong materials are flushed into it. Whether you are experienced with septic systems or a new homeowner, we recommend septic pumping followed by regularly scheduled maintenance.

Expect Excellence and Efficiency
Sanitary System Pumping
Routine pumping occurs every two or three years. Homeowners with numerous occupants might request pumping their tanks sooner. It’s better to service the sanitary system more often in this case. At AST, Ltd., we make recommendations by testing the system’s sludge/scum levels.
POWTS Service Provider and State/County Inspections
The State of Wisconsin requires each County to maintain a log of the sanitary systems in its jurisdiction. Every two or three years, a reminder will be sent to the homeowner to secure a Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (POWTS) service provider, like AST, Ltd., to evaluate, pump the sanitary system and report the work performed.
Vacuum Jetting
Slow drain flow occurs as water passed through the system, small particles of grease, soap, hair, food scraps, etc. will be suspended in the water and eventually clog the waste laterals. Pressure jetting can remove these deposits and restore drain flow. We also unclog mound systems.
Augering
Augering is a means of removing blockages and debris from sewer lines. It’s ideal for older systems and tough clogs like rust and scale buildup.
Home Sale Sanitary System Evaluations in Wisconsin
If you are considering selling or purchasing a home in Wisconsin, a well and sanitary system inspection may be required by the lending institution to secure a loan or complete the sale. Evaluations by licensed professionals will assess the condition of the well and septic system, protect both buyer and seller from unknown issues and unsafe conditions, and prevent health and environmental hazards.
Arnold’s does not perform real estate transaction inspections of wells or septic systems but we can refer you to a local qualified and experienced inspector to schedule an evaluation.
Camera Inspections for Septic Issues
Takes the guesswork out of diagnosing issues. Cameras are used in sewer and drain lines, well casings, chimneys, vent pipes and crawl spaces. Most access restricted areas can be recorded for inspection and repairs.
Confined Space Entry
Some sanitary systems develop internal issues that require confined space entry. Instead of digging up the yard, these pipes can be accessed from inside the tank to auger or pressure jet blockages.
Baffle Repairs and Replacements
The purpose of tank baffles is to prevent backups/ponding by securing the waste solids which flow from the house. Due to the bacteriological process of breaking down the solids in the tanks, a corrosive gas is emitted that causes corrosion to the areas above the water line in the tank. Damaged outlet baffles cause backups, ponding and reduce the life expectancy of the dispersal zone.
Septic Tank Risers
Sanitary systems with several tanks may come with risers which allow the manhole cover to be brought to the surface. Periodically, the risers and covers will become cracked and worn causing groundwater infiltration. AST, Ltd. maintains a supply of risers and covers to fit most sanitary systems.
Filter Cleaning
Today most sanitary systems are equipped with filters in lieu of baffles. It works so well that if not periodically cleaned, it can cause a backup much like a clogged pipe. Depending on water usage, filters should be cleaned and inspected every 6–12 months.
