What do Spring Valley septic systems need?
East County is septic country. Alpine, Lakeside, Jamul, Crest, Dehesa, and the rural edges of El Cajon and Santee are almost entirely on private systems. Decomposed-granite soils drain fast and tanks tend to hold longer between pumps, but missed maintenance here is the leading cause of $20,000+ drain field replacements.
