Homes, tanks, and the stuff nobody wants to see
Mesa homes on septic sit next to sewered neighborhoods, so the first step is confirming the system. Tank location, pumping history and any alarm help us plan the visit.
East Valley service area
Mesa service ranges from pumping and inspection at private systems to alarms, repairs, and commercial tanks. We also help determine when a symptom actually starts in the building plumbing. We find out what is actually full, failed, clogged, or alarming before recommending the next step. No scare tactics. No pretending every bad smell needs a new system.

In your neighborhood
Mesa is home base for One Call's service companies and spans a huge part of the East Valley, from mature central neighborhoods and downtown businesses to Las Sendas, Eastmark, industrial corridors, and desert-edge properties.
AZ Septic is based in Mesa, and a Mesa wastewater call starts with one question: is this a septic problem or a sewer problem? On city sewer, the City of Mesa says the property owner maintains and cleans the lateral line that carries wastewater from the property, and the city is responsible for the main it connects to. On a septic system, the tank, its lines and the disposal field are private and the owner's to maintain.
We confirm which setup a Mesa property has before sending a pump truck. If the property is on septic, Maricopa County Environmental Services' online records search can show available records for the system, and we add what we see during pumping and inspection.
According to the city, wastewater from sewered Mesa properties travels through the collection system to one of Mesa's three water reclamation plants. A septic property treats it on site instead, which is why the tank and disposal field need regular pumping and inspection.
Mesa also has commercial and industrial sites on septic tanks. We pump them and set maintenance intervals around flow, solids and the cost of a failure.

Mesa commercial and industrial properties can depend on septic tanks that cannot fail during operating hours. We schedule pumping and maintenance around production and leave a record for the facility.
Include the nearest cross streets, community or business name, unit or suite, gate code, and whether the address is closer to central Mesa or the far east side.

Local service questions
Mesa is inside our Phoenix Valley service area. Send the address, whether the property uses a septic tank or city sewer, and how urgent it is so we can plan the right truck and crew.
Yes. We are based in Mesa and serve homes and businesses throughout the city, from central Mesa to the eastern communities.
If the property is on City of Mesa sewer, the owner maintains the lateral line and the city maintains the main, so a backup there is a drain or sewer question rather than a septic one. If the property has a septic tank, we check the tank, its baffles and the lines before recommending repairs.
Maricopa County Environmental Services keeps onsite wastewater records and offers an online septic search at no charge, or a records search by request.

“Our septic tank needed to be emptied as it had been many many years since it was last done. … They cleaned up the entire place when they were finished and I would highly recommend them.”
