Aerobic Septic System Maintenance & Contracts

What You Need To Know

Florida state law mandates that all owners of aerobic septic systems maintain a valid maintenance contract in force at all times. Each maintenance contract must be provided by a maintenance company holding a septic tank contractor license or Class D wastewater license. In addition the maintenance company must be certified to maintain your particular brand of system. (Brand names are usually placed on the control box or inspection lid of your system).

New systems come with a two year service contract included in the purchase price. At the end of two years you may renew with your current contractor or seek another service provider. It is the homeowner's responsibility to obtain a new contract at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing contract.

How We Can Help

CleanEarth Environmental is committed to providing the very best maintenance service available in South Florida. Each time we inspect and/or service your aerobic system we attach a door hanger to the front door of your home showing that we have been by and explicitly describing the fact that we have inspected or serviced your system. The next day we fax a copy of your current maintenance contract and our service report to your County's controlling authority. To make certain that the county gets your compliance certification we also mail a copy of the maintenance contract and service certificate to the County. We have found this double-safe approach eliminates potential problems resulting in County records showing non-compliance when in fact you are in compliance.

If you have received a letter from your County warning that they do not have a current aerobic system contract on file, contact us immediately as we can often help you avoid unnecessary daily penalties by placing you under immediate contract. Because non-compliance is such a potentially expensive problem for homeowners.
