A holding tank is used to store wastewater and must be pumped regularly — it doesn’t process or filter. A septic tank, by contrast, separates solids and allows wastewater to leach out into a drain field. We help property owners throughout Hoover and surrounding rural areas understand and maintain both types of systems.
