Does Your SW Portland Property Have a Septic System?

Not sure if you have a septic system or if your home is connected to the city sewer system? Keeping up with maintenance, avoiding health and property hazards, protecting the environment, and complying with city regulations makes it important to understand your home’s wastewater treatment.

Portland city records may show some private sewer connections, but these records may be missing, outdated, or inaccurate. If records aren’t clear, Speedy Septic can locate a septic system on your property using specialized equipment to find buried tank lids, drain fields, and other components.
