Service contracts, maintenance and repair for aerobic treatment units (ATUs).
People in Plant City usually look for aerobic system service because of an aerobic treatment unit (ATU) that needs regular checks of its air pump, alarm and treatment stages. The 11-day January 2010 freeze led to more than 750 dry wells and more than 140 sinkholes, prompting a 256-square-mile water use caution area around Dover and Plant City. Compare 6 septic companies serving Plant City and ask each one what each service visit includes, how often visits happen and what repairs the contract covers.
Plant City has about 10,471 single-family detached houses, and some homes on septic use an aerobic treatment unit instead of a conventional tank. ATUs rely on an air pump and alarms, so they need regular maintenance visits, not just pumping.
