S.O.S. Septic Service NOW in NEWBURY, Massachusetts, has been a local, family-run business since 1977. DON WILKENSON has been working in the industry since he was a small boy. When you work with us, you work directly with the owner. He understands how septic tanks work and how to properly take care of them.

S.O.S. Septic Tank Service never tries to sell you anything to put into your septic system. Many of our competitors carry their own products, which they will try and sell you after they pump your septic tank, claiming they just removed all of your valuable bacteria and enzymes. However, this is nonsense!
The small amount of water that is left in the bottom of your septic tank after it is pumped contains billions of enzymes. The only reason you will not have enough enzymes in your septic tank is if you are killing them.
Bleach kills enzymes. A small amount of bleach used in your laundry has little effect on your system, but using large amounts in the laundry and to clean the toilet and other systems is very harmful. Other harmful solutions include oil paint and paint thinner. Do not pour these down your drains because they will damage your septic system.
