Why Does Maintenance Matter?

Regular Care Helps You Understand What Your System Needs

Wastewater systems rely on tanks, filters, pumps, controls, and treatment components working together. Regular maintenance helps us identify accessible conditions that need attention before they interrupt normal use or affect treatment performance.
We help Elkhart IN property owners plan care around those conditions rather than applying one interval to every system.

Ben and company came out today and did a few repairs on my septic as well as a pumping. They came in a $100 cheaper than originally estimated and made the repairs quickly. I would recommend them for either pumping or repairs.

Jake and Ben at A&R Wastewater Management were amazing! We needed immediate assistance with our Sewage Pump/float and they were fast, efficient and kind. They saved us a lot of money, whereas another company was looking to get over on us. Ben answered all of our questions & couldn’t have been any nicer. We are very appreciative and will definitely use them for any of our future needs. We highly recommend them to anyone with Septic or wastewater problems. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently had to have our Septic system relocated in our yard - A&R Wastewater Management did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced considering the size of our project. Jacob was great to work with; he was prompt and thorough with any questions we had, and they had the job completed in two days. Jacob also came back the next day to go over all the tasks that were done and to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the job performed. I highly recommend A&R Wastewater Management for any of your septic needs!

After several years of chemotherapy drugs being dumped into my septic system my septic field failed. Jacob designed and installed our new system. From the time Jacob started digging he had our system installed and back filled within 24 hours. Not only is Jacob the owner, but he did the installation too! I highly recommend A& R Waste Management for septic pumping or septic installation.

Septic System Maintenance in Elkhart IN

Keep Each Part of Your System on the Right Schedule

Maintenance works best when it follows how a system is designed, used, and approved. We can review available service history, accessible components, and operating concerns to help identify the maintenance your system needs.

Lift Station and Pump Maintenance

Watch the Equipment That Moves Wastewater

Lift stations and pump systems need attention to the equipment that moves wastewater through the system. We can service accessible pumps, floats, alarms, and controls as part of an ongoing maintenance program or an evaluation of reported operating concerns.

Effluent Filter Cleaning

Help Solids Stay Where They Belong

An effluent filter helps limit solids leaving the septic tank. We inspect accessible filters during applicable service and clean them when needed within the agreed scope. A clogged filter can restrict wastewater movement and contribute to backup symptoms. Filter maintenance should follow the system condition and service history, not a universal schedule.

Emergency Sewer and Septic Service in Elkhart IN

Reduce Water Use and Call When Wastewater Backs Up

Replacement means installing a new tank, dose system, absorption field, or complete onsite system when the evaluation supports that path. We review the existing conditions, proposed wastewater flow, site and soil information, and approval requirements before recommending replacement construction.

Service Agreements and Maintenance Plans

Build a Service Plan Around How Your System Operates

We can create a maintenance program based on equipment, wastewater flow, system design, permit requirements, manufacturer recommendations, and operating history. A program may include scheduled pumping, filter service, pump and alarm checks, treatment equipment care, or other work identified for the system.

Maintenance and Service FAQs

Understand the Care Your System May Need

What does septic system maintenance include?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Septic system maintenance can include pumping coordination, effluent filter cleaning, checks of pumps, floats, alarms, and treatment equipment, plus records when applicable. The exact scope depends on the equipment, wastewater flow, system design, permit requirements, manufacturer guidance, operating history, and accessible components.

How often does an aerobic treatment unit need maintenance?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Aerobic treatment unit maintenance follows the manufacturer, system design, permit, wastewater use, and local requirements rather than one universal schedule. Service may involve checking the aerator or blower, airflow, pumps, floats, alarms, filters, treatment chambers, electrical components, sludge accumulation, and wastewater movement.

Can A&R create a maintenance plan for my wastewater system?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Yes. We can create a maintenance program based on the equipment, wastewater flow, system design, permit requirements, manufacturer recommendations, and operating history. The plan may coordinate pumping, filter cleaning, pump and alarm checks, lift station inspections, treatment equipment care, written service records, and emergency response planning.

Do you provide service records and reports?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Yes. We document significant service conditions with written comments and photographs when applicable. Maintenance customers may receive records that support equipment history, preventive maintenance, operational permits, or compliance needs. The records provided depend on the service performed, the system, and any reporting requirements.
