Septic systems are individual wastewater treatment systems that use the soil to treat small wastewater flows, usually from individual homes. They are typically used in rural or large lot settings where centralized wastewater treatment is impractical. There are many types of septic systems in use today. While all septic systems are individually designed for each site, most are based on the same principles.
A-1 Sanitation was founded over 25 years ago in Kalispell. Since then, our company has steadily grown and adapted to the times. Our team has been trained through experience and continuing education. Each of our service providers is happy to answer any questions you may have.
As a N.A.W.T. trained and certified company, A-1 Sanitation is committed to using an eco-friendly disposal process. Keeping our land clean is everyone’s responsibility, and that responsibility is increased as a business owner. We gladly do our part to ensure Montana is clean for future generations.

This structure is where organic solids are decomposed with biological processes. Your septic system’s purpose is to treat household wastes like body wastes, laundry water, bath water, and discarded food. Septic systems are designed to work indefinitely when properly installed and maintained. It is critical to have your tank pumped (cleaned0 regularly and to maintain proper levels of biological activity.
Waste enters the tank from toilets, sinks, tubs, and drains. Organic solid material floats to the tops of the tanks, forming a layer commonly called “scum.” Inorganic materials and the bi-products from enzyme and bacteria digestion settle to the bottom of the tank forming a layer called “sludge.” Biological activity continues within the scum and sludge layers to break down the many organic materials. This bioactivity results in sending cleaner effluent to the drain field.
The accumulated solids in the bottom of the septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years to prolong the life of your system. Abuse or lack of maintenance of your septic system can cause it to fail. Failing septic systems can:
Old systems are only grandfathered in as long as they are functioning properly. They cannot be repaired. Regular maintenance helps keep old systems healthy and drain fields functioning.
To take the trouble out of properly maintaining your system, we recommend a service contract with Surefire Septic Maintenance. They will check your tank level, pump and float operation, and the alarm. Most importantly, they will clean the filter each year to help reduce the chance of backup.
